Free inspection. Raccoons out, entry points sealed for good.
Searching for raccoon removal near me or a team that actually gets the job done right the first time? We serve Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Scarborough, North York, and Etobicoke.
Raccoon removal Toronto families rely on GTA Pest Solutions, which provides humane raccoon removal across the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario, Canada, backed by full attic restoration when you need it.
A raccoon in the attic isn’t a small problem. Left alone, it means torn insulation, chewed wiring, and a growing mess that gets worse every week it goes unaddressed. Our raccoon control Toronto team has one goal: get Procyon lotor (raccoon) out safely and keep it out for good.
Every raccoon removal GTA job follows the same proven method. We locate every entry point, install a one-way raccoon exclusion Toronto door, then seal the property with materials built to last. We handle everything from a single raccoon under a deck to a full attic infestation with young inside. See real jobs we’ve completed in our Case Studies .
Hearing heavy thumping at night?
This isn’t an exaggeration for effect. An estimated 100,000 raccoons call Toronto home, and in some neighborhoods, density reaches as high as 100 animals per square kilometer.
The bins won some ground, but raccoons adapted rather than left. Toronto’s mature tree canopy, ravine system, and older housing stock with easy roof access mean the population, and the calls we get, haven’t slowed down.
Living near a ravine or mature trees?
Every raccoon removal Toronto job starts with confirming exactly what you’re dealing with.
Procyon lotor, the common raccoon, is nocturnal, strong, and surprisingly good at finding weak points in a roofline.
Not sure it’s a raccoon and not a squirrel?
Raccoon droppings can carry raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), a parasite whose eggs can stay active in soil and insulation for years. In rare cases, disturbing and inhaling it can cause serious illness. Raccoons can also carry rabies, and their urine may carry leptospirosis.
Raccoons return to the same latrine site repeatedly, so raccoon latrine cleanup is rarely a quick wipe-down. Left untreated, a single latrine site can contaminate a wide area of attic insulation, which is why proper decontamination matters as much as the removal itself.
Found a latrine or strong odor in the attic?
Every raccoon removal Toronto job we run follows the same five steps:
We check the roofline, chimney, soffits, and foundation for every active and potential entry point and check specifically for young.
Installed over the main entry point so the raccoon can leave to feed but can’t get back in.
The door stays in place for roughly three to five days to confirm the attic is fully clear before anything is sealed shut.
Every entry point is closed with heavy-gauge galvanized steel mesh, not wood or foam that a raccoon can tear through again.
Contaminated insulation is removed and replaced as part of full attic restoration after raccoon activity.
Ready to get it done properly?
Sealing an entry point on a den with young inside separates a mother raccoon from babies who can’t survive without her. We check for this on every single job, not just when it’s convenient.
When young are present, our technicians perform a raccoon baby removal by hand and keep them warm. A humane baby reunion follows once the mother is excluded, so the whole family relocates together. This follows the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, and frankly, it’s just the right thing to do.
Peak raccoon baby season in the GTA runs March through May, so spring calls almost always include a young-animal check as standard practice, not an add-on.
Hearing chirping or crying sounds in spring?
Most jobs are fully resolved within a week. The exclusion door does its work in three to five days, and then sealing and any restoration work usually wrap up the same visit or the one right after.
Jobs with young raccoons can take slightly longer, since reuniting a family properly matters more than rushing the calendar. Your technician gives you a realistic timeline before any work begins, not an optimistic guess.
Wondering how many visits this will actually take?
trapping a raccoon inside by sealing too early leads to a far worse problem and often a much bigger repair bill.
Ontario’s 1 km relocation limit means a DIY trap-and-release effort rarely works and can carry legal risk without a license.
you hear ongoing activity, notice a latrine, or suspect young are present, all genuinely common in Toronto attics.
Thought about handling it yourself first?
Home insurance rarely covers raccoon damage. Most Canadian insurers, including providers such as Erie Mutual , treat wildlife presence as a preventable maintenance issue rather than an unexpected covered emergency.
That means chewed wiring, torn insulation, and damaged soffits usually come out of your own pocket. A raccoon that’s been in an attic for a full season can leave far more damage than an early inspection and exclusion job would have cost.
Wondering if it’s worth calling now versus later?

Ready for a proper, permanent fix?
A raccoon in your attic is loud, messy, and stressful. Here’s why GTA families choose our raccoon exterminator Toronto team to fix it properly:
A licensed technician will find every entry point, check for young, and give you a firm price before any work starts.
Not effectively, and generally not legally. Ontario’s 1 km relocation limit means a raccoon released nearby will likely find its way back, and trapping wildlife without a license carries real legal risk.

They’re removed by hand, kept warm, and reunited with their mother once she’s excluded. We check for young on every job before deciding on a method.
In almost every case, yes, when every entry point is found and sealed with heavy-gauge steel mesh. A missed secondary opening is the most common reason raccoons return.
Yes. Raccoon latrine cleanup and full attic restoration after raccoon activity are both available once exclusion is complete.
Usually, yes. We cover Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and the rest of the GTA with fast response times.
Mature tree cover, ravines, older housing stock, and abundant food sources all play a part. So does the city’s well-known history with organic waste bins, which has made Toronto one of the most raccoon-dense cities in North America.
