Raccoon Removal Richmond Hill

Raccoon invasions are common as winter approaches and, in the spring, when females need a place to nurse their cubs. While they naturally live outdoors, raccoons often find shelter in human homes where they can be safe and warm. These little bandits frequently sneak their way into the house by breaking holes in the roof and crawling under the porch. Once indoors, they will cause odour problems and do a serious amount of damage. If you have witnessed any of the following signs, call Raccoon Control for an inspection and solution to your raccoon problem.

Raccoons are remarkably noisy animals. As a nocturnal species, you may hear them chatter, whimper, scratch, and thump around at night. Raccoons are heavier than squirrels and other pests, so they make more noise when they move around. Raccoons living in the attic may sound like a human being walking around upstairs.

Another sign that you might have raccoons is if there is a lot of damage and debris on your property. Raccoons that have broken into the attic will usually have left the roof in disarray, with broken shingles and torn roof vents. If you can check the attic, see if the insulation has been torn, crushed, or littered with debris and feces. In the yard, you may find holes in your garden and garbage that has been spilled.

Finally, raccoons leave piles of feces around their dens, called latrines. These are commonly found on the roof, in the garden, or under the porch. Raccoon feces smell terrible, appear dark brown, and measure approximately 2 to 3 inches in length.

If you have come across any of the above signs, or you still suspect that there are animals on your property, give Raccoon Control a call. A technician will inspect your property for you and confirm the species you are dealing with. We will then get rid of the animals safely and efficiently. The sooner you call us, the better.
