Wildlife Control Services: Raccoons
Raccoons can be found throughout all of Ontario and are active all year round. Because of their size and intelligence, raccoons are one of the most challenging, commonly dealt with nuisance animals in our industry.
Background: Raccoons
Although “Nature’s Bandit” mainly lives in the wild, raccoons have adapted very well to urban areas. Raccoons are classified as pest species mainly because of their destructive nature. They are continually seeking food, safety, and shelter, and can become invading, annoying, and troublesome.
Preferred Environments
Raccoons will establish their dens in our attics, chimneys, sheds, crawlspaces, under decks and porches within our home, recreational, cottage and commercial properties. They especially love attics because they are warm and spacious. Since raccoons are nocturnal animals, they are most active at night and therefore, can be quite a nuisance to occupants trying to sleep.
Treatments & Solutions
Raccoons will access homes and buildings through soffit, fascia, chimneys, roof vents, existing gaps/holes and if necessary, they will chew and claw through almost anything including wood, shingles, siding, and aluminum to gain access. Once you have a raccoon or a family of Raccoons, they may cause damage or leave a mess of feces and urine.
