Humane, Guaranteed Raccoon Removal in Rexdale
Rexdale’s older post-war homes back directly onto light-industrial lots and the ravine systems along the Humber River, giving raccoons an easy route from the tree line straight into attics and garages. We remove raccoons humanely and seal your home properly, so that access disappears for good.
Why Rexdale's Older Housing Stock Attracts So Many Raccoons
Rexdale’s post-war housing stock sits close to light-industrial zones and the ravine systems along the Humber River, and raccoons travelling those corridors treat unsealed roof vents, soffits and garage gaps as an obvious next stop. Mature backyard trees near Thistletown and Silverstone give the same easy access to older rooflines across the neighbourhood.
What a Raccoon in Your Attic Actually Does
A raccoon is strong enough to tear open a roof vent or force apart a loose fascia board within minutes, and once inside a Rexdale attic it will flatten insulation into a den, tear at ductwork, and leave urine and feces that stain drywall and carry real health risks. Left alone, a mother raccoon can keep a family denned above your ceiling for weeks before the young are mobile enough to leave.

Live traps and hands-on removal techniques capture raccoons safely, without harming the animal or your property.
Exclusion
One-way doors and sealed entry points stop raccoons from getting back in once they have been removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does raccoon removal cost in Rexdale?
Most Rexdale raccoon jobs run between $300 and $1,000 depending on how many entry points need to be sealed and whether a mother has denned with young. A straightforward one-way door exclusion sits at the lower end, while attic damage repair or multiple access points push costs higher. We provide a firm quote after a free on-site inspection, with no surprise charges added later.
Is it legal to remove raccoons yourself in Ontario?
Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and MNRF guidelines require that raccoons be handled humanely, and relocating an animal more than one kilometre from where it was caught is not permitted without authorization. DIY trapping often separates a mother from her kits, which creates a worse problem inside your walls. Our technicians follow MNRF-aligned protocols on every Rexdale job.
How long does raccoon removal take in Rexdale?
Most jobs are resolved within a few days once a one-way exclusion door is installed and the raccoon has left on its own schedule to feed. Complex cases with a denned litter can take one to two weeks near ravine-adjacent properties, since we wait for the young to be mobile before completing the exclusion. We stay in contact throughout so you know exactly where things stand.
Are raccoons in my attic dangerous?
A raccoon left in your attic causes more insulation damage, drywall staining and odour the longer it stays, and its droppings can carry roundworm, which poses a real health risk to your family. Raccoons can also become defensive if they feel cornered, especially a mother protecting young near Rexdale’s ravine-adjacent yards. Call us promptly rather than attempting to remove or corner the animal yourself.
