Inspection
We deal with raccoon issues daily. Our technicians know what to seek for and will identify all possible entrance points and weak spots during our first comprehensive inspection of your premises.
Removal
Once entry points are located, our technicians attach a one-way door to permit raccoons to leave and not to re-entry. It’s the humane manner and in a couple of days, animals will use the one-way door to depart your premises.

RACCOONS IN THE ATTIC
Raccoons in the attic are easy to distinguish from other wildlife such as bats, rats and squirrels. Spotting a raccoon is an obvious sign. These animals are nocturnal so activity is mostly confined to early evening through to just before dusk. Raccoons also make thumping rather than scurrying noises because of their large size when walking across the attic. Apart from the damage the coons may be causing such as tearing up insulation, chewing support beams and ripping duct work, raccoons pose a serious health risk. The animal droppings and urine spread diseases including leptospirosis and raccoon round worm.
The first step is to removing raccoons is to inspect the attic to find entry points. An adult coon can fit through a gap, hole or space about 3 inches or wide. Seal the holes with galvanized steel mesh or metal flashing leaving only the main entrance.
Install a one-way door on the remaining entrance. The door swings outward to allow the animals out when they go to forage but blocks them from accessing the den from the exterior end. Monitor activity in the attic until you are sure it is clear. Remove the one-way door and seal the remaining hole with galvanized steel mesh or metal flashing.
RACCOONS IN THE ATTIC WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE A RACCOON REMOVAL PROFESSIONAL
Evicting raccoons from the attic is straightforward but hardly easy even for seasoned professionals. A major concern is raccoon babies in the attic. The animals break into houses primarily to breed so it safe to assume that there is a litter in the den. Sealing the babies inside guarantees they’ll die of dehydration and starvation. The babies are most likely tucked away inside a wall void, duct or other hard-to-reach area and need to be removed by hand.
Raccoon feces and urine carry disease and contain pheromones that may attract other wildlife to the empty den. Cleaning and disinfecting the attic is all part of the removal process and is difficult to do safely without proper training, chemicals and equipment. Some of these diseases are airborne and may be inhaled accidentally during cleaning. Our wildlife removal company in Guelph takes care of the eviction, cleaning, repairs and wildlife-proofing to keep the animals out permanently. Ask for a warranty of at least two years before hiring.
Customer Testimonials
Doug
from Guelph
We have been dealing with mice for a few months before we called The exterminators. We tried mouse traps, poison from the hardware store but nothing worked. It has been almost a years since we had our treatment and we haven’t seen any signs of mice.

We had bed bugs and after the treatment they are gone. The guys did the main treatment and then there were no signs of bed bugs after the second visit. It has been almost a month. Thank you!
WHAT RACCOON EAT AND WHAT CAN ATTRACT THEM
Raccoons are omnivorous, meaning they’ll eat the same diet as most humans. They eat whatever is available with their options more abundant in cities and suburban areas compared to the wild. The claws are perfect for climbing trees, borrowing, grabbing, clawing and holding onto things, which make getting food convenient. Ontario has had its fair share of raccoon problems because for these creatures; the city is a source of food and shelter.
Raccoons kill and eat small prey such as rabbits, squirrels, rats, snakes, and worms. Raccoons are not afraid of water and are excellent fishers. You’ll find them supplementing their diet with fish ponds and other water bodies with marine life. Depending on the season, fruits and nuts are their preferred diet. For this reason, you will find them on fruit and nut trees around the city during late summer. It is likely to forget that these are wild animals, and so are their behaviors. You will likely find them feeding on other animals hatchlings, eggs or carcass to survive.
Given their diet, it is clear that there’s almost nothing a raccoon will not eat. This guarantees their survival in the city. Their dexterous paws allow them to break into homes to find food and shelter. If you’ve had raccoons repeatedly return to your home, it is because they’ve located a stable source for meals and most likely a nice place to nest.
HOW TO DISCOURAGE RACCOONS FROM COMING TO YOUR HOME
Empty and clean your trash can regularly. The foul smell of the waste and leftovers attracts them from far. Tightly seal your garbage cans, and if you can, place them in the garage or shed instead of out in the open. You may wake up to a mess in your driveway in the morning.
Fruit trees are another attraction. Placing a metal or plastic at the base of the tree will hinder them from climbing because their claws lose traction. You can also trim low hanging branches near fences or the roof so they’re unable to climb up and possible make a way into the attic. Do not leave pet food outside. These creatures will eat it and even fight your pet for it if they have to.
The best way to get rid of raccoons on your property altogether is to hire a professional and humane wildlife removal company in Ontario. Only an expert can guarantee removing wildlife safely, humanely and permanently.
