RACCOON REMOVAL USING ONE-WAY DOOR
Raccoon Control’s personnel only use humane techniques of wildlife removal. We take extra care to ensure that all raccoons are removed in a way that does not harm the animals. The first step of our removal process involves a thorough inspection. This allows us to find exactly where the animals are hiding as well as any weaknesses on the structure of the home that animals could use to break in in the future. A thorough inspection gives us a proper understanding of the situation, allowing us to address all causes of the infestation.
After the inspection, in most cases, we place a one-way door to the entrance of the den. This lets the animals out but blocks their re-entry. If there are cubs in the den, we remove them carefully and place them in a box outside for the mother to collect them. Raccoons are usually gone within a few days. To keep the animals out for good, we then seal all potential entry points.
In addition to removal and exclusion, Raccoon Control offers cleaning and disinfection. Raccoons leave odours behind that not only smell bad but contain dangerous pathogens and pheromones that attract other pests. Let us evict the animals on your property and clean up after them. We stand by our exclusion services and provide a two-year warranty for our work.

Raccoon Proofing
Raccoon Control installs custom-made, wildlife-proof vent covers that keep pests out.

We offer complete wildlife-proofing solutions that are guaranteed with a 2-year warranty. These include the protection of the following areas:
- Roof Vents
- Soffits
- Roof Edges
- Ventilation Pipes

COMMON SIGNS OF A RACCOON PROBLEM
Oshawa homes and businesses are susceptible to wildlife throughout the fall, winter, and spring. Raccoons are attracted to the warmth and security that these buildings provide. Attics, chimneys, decks, basements, and sheds are common nesting sites. If you are suspicious of a raccoon invasion on your property, look for the following signs and give us a call for a professional inspection.
One of the most telling signs of a raccoon invasion is hearing strange sounds in the night. As a nocturnal species, raccoons are usually awake at night. If there are raccoons in your attic, you may hear them chattering, scratching, and thumping around when it is dark out. Raccoons are heavier than other pests, so they make a lot of noise – almost like a human stomping their feet.
Raccoons often cause a lot of damage in their attempts to break into the house. Look for broken shingles, roof vents, and soffits. If you can reach the attic, you may notice that the insulation has been torn, crushed, and contaminated with feces and debris. Raccoons have also been known to tip over garbage cans and make a mess of the garden.
Raccoons usually urinate and defecate in the same place multiple times, creating what are called latrines. These are often found on the roof, in the attic, or in the yard. Raccoon feces are dark brown, tubular in shape, and measure between 2 and 3 inches in length. Be careful not to get too close to these as they contain harmful bacteria that could make you very sick.
If you notice any of these signs, contact Raccoon Control to have the animals removed. Raccoons will cause a serious amount of damage when left to their own devices. They are also a health hazard that could make you, your pets, and your loved ones very sick. Call us for comprehensive removal and exclusion.

WHAT DAMAGE RACCOONS CAN CAUSE TO YOUR PROPERTY
Raccoons are wild animals, and, for this reason, they do not make good guests. Raccoons are very destructive in nature. They will seriously damage your roof when they try to break into the house, and if they succeed, they will cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars in repairs to your attic. The sooner you evict them, the better. The following and just some examples of the damages that raccoons will cause.
Yard Damage
Raccoons have been nicknamed “trash pandas” for a reason. These little bandits will get into the garbage and make a mess on the exterior of your property. As omnivores, they will eat practically anything. They will dig up the yard in search of insects and eat the fruits and vegetables you grow outside. Raccoons will even drink from the swimming pool and eat the fish you keep in your decorative pond.
Structural and Fixture Damage
Raccoons frequently break through roofs to get into the attic. They will tear up the shingles, roof vents, soffits, and drip edges to get inside. Once indoors, they will chew and tear apart the air ducts and cabling in the attic. They will also ruin the insulation by crushing it and dirtying it with feces.
Feces and Urine
Just as we prefer to use the bathroom, raccoons use latrines, which are sites in which raccoons will urinate and defecate repeatedly. These are usually in raised locations, like a roof or at the base of a tree. These piles smell terrible and may contain dangerous pathogens. Raccoon feces are dark brown, about half an inch in diameter, and roughly 2 to 3 inches long.
Why You Should Hire a Raccoon Removal Professional
Hiring a raccoon removal professional will save you a lot of stress. Professionals have the skills, training, and experience necessary for a quick and successful removal. They can evict the animals safely and keep them out by fully excluding your property from any more invasions. Professionals are certified in the handling of wild animals and they have the safety gear needed to do so properly.
While you can always attempt to remove the animals yourself, remember that raccoons will try to come back. These are resourceful animals that will find a way back inside unless the home has been professionally excluded. You also risk harming the animals when you trap them or separate them from their families. Raccoons left in cages can hurt themselves in their attempts to escape, and cubs will die of starvation if they are accidentally separated from their mothers. Getting too close to raccoons may cause injury. Removing raccoons is best left to the professionals as they guarantee safe, humane, and permanent eviction from the home.
In addition to removal, raccoon removal professionals can clean up after the animals and repair the damages they left behind. Raccoons carry dangerous diseases and they often have parasites, which can be eliminated with professional disinfection. Damages, such as holes in the roof, can be sealed and blocked off as part of the exclusion process.

RACCOONS IN OSHAWA
Raccoon invasions are common in Oshawa, especially in the spring and fall. Raccoons are smart and remarkably adaptable creatures that have learned to get by in suburban environments. The neighbourhoods in Oshawa present raccoons with an opportunity to feed on the foods we grow in our yards and garbage we leave out by the side of the road. There are plenty of green spaces and foods available for raccoons to thrive, even in Oshawa.
Raccoons are attracted to human homes for their warmth, security, and proximity to food. They frequently break into chimneys, attics, and crawlspaces to live out the cold or raise their young. In the summer, raccoons often nest under sheds and porches where there is shade. Once on a given property, they will do a lot of damage. The longer you wait, the worse the situation will get. Call Raccoon Control for effective removal: 647-557-7932.

How Raccoon Removal Services Can Protect Your Property
It’s important to ensure your home, office, business premise or any other property is well protected from wildlife. Failure to which may lead to business disruption, health risks and building damage. Some of the common creatures that may cause damage include squirrel, raccoon, skunk, groundhog, chipmunk, and mongoose. It’s recommended to seek professional services rather than protecting the property yourself. The service provider is trained in this field, follows the laidout safety guidelines and adheres to a code of ethics.How Wildlife Access your Property
Wildlife have varied reasons why they would seek refuge in your home or business premises. The following are some of the common reasons:
Conducive Environment
Leaving the hedge untidy, the grass too long, or not cleaning the attic will attract animals such as squirrels, skunks, birds and others. Some will opt to build a den or nest, while others will be hiding from their predators.
Destruction to their home
Fires, human encroachment, or bad weather may damage the creature’s home and will therefore use your property as an alternative.
Poor waste disposal
Leaving garbage or litter strewn allover or not keeping the lids to garbage bins on will attract animals. They will come to scavenge for food especially at night
Non-removal of construction debris
Loose stones, marble, bricks, felt, papers, demolished walls and other construction debris are known to attract many animals.
While it may look basic, wildlife removal service is very important. Not only does it eliminate unwanted creatures, but also protects the occupants, visitors, clients and the property. It is recommended to deal with a trustworthy, certified, insured, licensed and experienced professional firm.
Guaranteed Service
All our raccoon exclusion work is covered by a 2-year warranty. If a raccoon get back in through our work within two years we return at no additional charge.
What Does the Professional Raccoon Removal Service Entail?
Wildlife protection service is aimed at stopping a creature from accessing your property and the key features are as follows:
Prevention
This seeks to stop wildlife from accessing your property. It entails creating an unconducive environment by maintaining a clean yard, keeping grass short, good litter management, and not leaving debris lying around. The professionals will assess the area to familiarize with the creatures and put the necessary measures in place.
Inspection
A professional firm may just come and examine the area to find out if there are any animals on your property. It involves looking for signs and symptoms, for instance, faces, urine stains, nests, scratch and bite marks, odor, fur remnant, dander and more. In case, there is evidence, the firm will start the elimination process, and if none is found, the provider will instill preventive measures.
Safe Removal
If wildlife is detected or sighted, the service provider will begin the removal process. This consists of tracing the nest or hideout and safely removing the animal. The handler will also ensure that he/she and the people around are well-protected during the service.

How to Relocate Raccoons
If you have managed to trap a raccoon, your next move is how to transport it. Canadian law prohibits transporting protected wildlife for more than a kilometer without a permit. It is also likely that the raccoon will return to your property if released it in the given radius especially if it has young ones. Killing it is illegal and keeping it trapped in a cage, leaving it to starve or exposed to predators is inhumane. Capturing a mother also means the offspring, wherever they are, will die of starvation and dehydration.
Do-it-yourself guides, though they appear practical, do not appreciate wildlife’s unpredictable nature. Raccoons are after all wild animals and they will attack when they feel threatened. The animal can easily reach through the cage to attack. A scratch or a bite can easily transmit rabies. Assuming you’re able to relocate the animal yourself, the cage may have urine and feces. These cause roundworms and bacterial infections if mishandled.
Other concerns with DIYs are you may purchase the wrong size trap and end up strangling or injuring the animal. Even if you do succeed in catching one, it is likely that another raccoon will make a home in the same spot as the previous one. Relocating a mother raccoon means it’ll navigate back and damage a sealed off area trying to reach its babies.
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has studies show that wildlife mortality rates increase if they are removed from surroundings they are familiar with. Letting a trapped raccoon lose in the wild or unfamiliar territory may be a death sentence. It may be unable to adapt especially with regards to finding food sources. Other raccoons in the territory may also chase it away, increasing the likelihood of it becoming roadkill.
Best Way to Relocate Raccoons
Hiring a raccoon removal professional is the best way to remove raccoons from your property. The expert will remove all raccoons including babies and animal proof your attic, shed and other hideouts. Clean up and sealing the space is also part of the service they provide. Hire a company that guarantees its work for at least two years.

Attic Decontamination Services
Raccoons are perhaps the worst animals you want living in your attic. They will cause all manner of destruction to your insulation, cabling and stored items. It’s still puzzling why they cause so much destruction in the short time they end up living in attics; some people believe it is because they are looking for nesting material. After raccoons have been removed from your attic, it is a good idea to have your attic decontaminated. Raccoon feces and urine often carry harmful parasites that can be contagious to humans. They also soak up your insulation and ceiling with urine which poses a safety risk. Due to these factors, it’s important that you get the assistance of a professional to help you decontaminate your attic for you.
At Raccoon Control, we offer professional attic decontamination services. Our trained experts will use advanced equipment to ensure that your attic is free from raccoon waste and odour. Depending on the severity of damage, we will recommend the best action to take, sometimes all you need is a spot clean up.
Ask any expert, and they will tell you, the best way the raccoon control method is to prevent them from entering your property. However, if they still manage to enter your property despite your efforts to prevent them from getting in, the raccoon trapping and removal might be your only option. This is because, once they have entered your attic, shed or garage, you will need the help of a professional to get them out. It is important that you do not attempt to get the raccoons out by yourself.
raccoon prevention services
At Raccoon Control, we offer raccoon prevention services. Our experts are experienced in preventing and removal of raccoons. They will carry out an inspection and seal off any potential entry points so that raccoons do not get access in the future. Remember, preventing raccoons in much easier and cost less compared to getting rid of them.
