Humane, Guaranteed Raccoon Removal in North York
We provide licensed, humane raccoon removal for homes and businesses across North York. Our technicians inspect your property, remove the animal safely, and seal the entry point so raccoons cannot get back in.
Raccoon Problems Are Common Near North York's Parks and Ravines
North York’s mix of mature backyards, ravines and green space gives raccoons an easy path into residential properties. Animals moving along the Don River ravine system regularly pass through yards near Earl Bales Park, Downsview Park and G. Ross Lord Park before climbing onto a roofline. Once a raccoon reaches your attic through a damaged soffit or loose vent, it will often stay to raise its young.
We provide wildlife removal in North York for homeowners in Bathurst Manor, Willowdale, York Mills and along the Yonge Street corridor, where older semis and low-rise buildings share similar entry points. We inspect your roofline, soffits and vents to find exactly how the animal got in before we begin work.
OUR REVIEWS
The Risk of Leaving a Raccoon in Your Attic
A raccoon left in your attic does not stay quiet for long. It will tear insulation apart to build a nesting area, soil ductwork and wooden framing with waste, and occasionally chew through wiring near your electrical panel. Left unaddressed, this damage becomes far more expensive to repair than an early removal.
Raccoon waste also carries health risks for your family, including roundworm exposure from accumulated droppings. We remove contaminated material and disinfect the affected area as part of our cleanup, protecting both your property and your household.

Our Raccoon Removal Process
Every North York property is different, so we tailor the process to what we find during inspection. Here is what you can expect when you call us.
Inspection
We examine your roofline, attic, soffits and vents to confirm how the raccoon entered and whether young are present.
Humane Removal
We remove the animal using a humane method suited to the location, often a one-way door that lets it exit on its own. We follow MNRF guidelines for humane raccoon handling and exclusion in Ontario.
Exclusion & Proofing
We seal the entry point with durable materials so another raccoon cannot use the same opening again.
Cleanup & Restoration
We remove contaminated insulation and waste, then disinfect the area to restore your attic to a safe condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does raccoon removal cost in North York?
The cost depends on where the raccoon has entered, how many animals are present and how much repair work the entry point needs. A raccoon under a deck is priced differently than one nesting deep in an attic through a damaged vent. We provide a clear quote after inspecting your property so there are no surprises.
Is raccoon removal regulated in Ontario?
Yes. Under Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, raccoons must be handled humanely, and MNRF guidance restricts how far a trapped animal can be relocated from the capture site. Our technicians follow these rules on every job, which is why exclusion is usually preferred over relocation.
How do you remove a raccoon from my attic?
We start with a full inspection to confirm where the raccoon is denning and whether young are present. Depending on what we find, we install a one-way door or carry out a hands-on removal, then seal the opening once the attic is confirmed empty. Every step is documented so you know exactly what was done to your property.
How quickly should I deal with a raccoon in my attic?
Raccoons cause more damage the longer they stay, tearing insulation, soiling ductwork and occasionally chewing wiring near your electrical panel. A denning female can also mean babies are hidden nearby, which complicates a delayed removal. We recommend calling as soon as you hear movement so we can respond before the situation gets worse.
