Humane, Guaranteed Raccoon Removal in Scarborough
Living next to Rouge National Urban Park and the Scarborough Bluffs means raccoons are simply part of life here, and a strong, healthy population is always looking for a way into a warm attic. We remove them humanely and seal your home for good, so the wildlife stays in the park where it belongs.
Why Scarborough Sees Some of the City's Heaviest Raccoon Activity
Scarborough backs onto Rouge National Urban Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America, and the Scarborough Bluffs along Lake Ontario, so raccoon populations here are naturally larger and more established than in most Toronto neighbourhoods. Established areas like Agincourt and Malvern sit close enough to these corridors that a raccoon’s normal territory can easily include your roofline.
Properties near Highland Creek and Morningside Park see some of the steadiest raccoon traffic in the city, since the ravine system gives animals a direct, sheltered route into residential yards. Spring is peak season, when mothers look for a warm, hidden attic space to raise their young. This page is part of wildlife removal in Scarborough, our hub for every service we offer across the area.
What a Raccoon in Your Attic Actually Does
A raccoon is strong enough to tear open a roof vent or force apart a soffit in a single evening, and once inside it will shred insulation, crush ductwork and soil the space with waste. If a mother has denned with young, the damage and the mess both get significantly worse before they get better.
Raccoon droppings carry real health risks, including roundworm exposure, and a raccoon that feels cornered near your family or pets can become aggressive. This is not a problem worth waiting out.
Our Raccoon Removal Process
Every Scarborough property is different, so we tailor the process to what we find during inspection. Here is what you can expect when you contact us for our raccoon removal service.
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 force it open again.
Cleanup & Restoration
We remove contaminated insulation and waste, then disinfect the area to restore your attic to a safe condition.
Neighbourhoods We Serve in Scarborough
We serve homeowners across Scarborough, and if squirrels are also getting into your property, ask about our squirrel removal in Scarborough service as well.
Agincourt
Agincourt sits close enough to the Rouge Park corridor that raccoons regularly move between the ravine system and backyard sheds and garages.
Malvern
Malvern backs directly onto Rouge National Urban Park, so raccoon pressure here is some of the steadiest in the city.
Woburn
Woburn's older housing stock near Bendale gives raccoons plenty of loose fascia and soffit gaps to widen into full den sites.
West Hill
West Hill sits near Highland Creek, where the ravine system funnels raccoons straight toward rooflines and attic vents.
Guildwood
Guildwood is close enough to the Scarborough Bluffs that raccoons travelling the lakeside corridor often end up denning nearby.
Birch Cliff
Birch Cliff's bluffside streets see raccoons moving up from the Lake Ontario shoreline into older rooflines and chimneys.
Scarborough Village
Scarborough Village sits near Morningside Park, and the tree cover there supports a large, well-established raccoon population year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does raccoon removal cost in Scarborough?
The cost depends on how many entry points there are, whether young are present, and how much cleanup the attic needs. A single sealed roof vent is priced differently than a full soffit repair after a long-term den. We provide a clear quote after inspecting your property so there are no surprises.
Is raccoon removal regulated in Ontario?
Yes. Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act requires humane handling of raccoons, and MNRF guidelines restrict how far a trapped animal can be relocated from the capture site. Our technicians follow these rules on every job, which is why exclusion with a one-way door is usually preferred over relocation.
How long does raccoon removal take in Scarborough?
Once a one-way door is installed at the entry point, most raccoons leave within a few days on their own schedule. We then confirm the attic is empty before sealing the opening permanently. Cleanup and restoration can add extra time depending on how much insulation and waste needs to be removed.
Why should I deal with a raccoon in the attic quickly?
A raccoon left in your attic keeps tearing at insulation, ductwork and soffits, and the damage only grows the longer it stays. A cornered raccoon, especially a mother with kits, can also become aggressive if it feels threatened near your family or pets. Acting early keeps your home and your family safer, and is almost always the simpler fix.
