When a homeowner on Elmhurst Avenue, just minutes from the busy Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue West intersection, discovered a gaping hole in their roof and strange noises in their attic, our wildlife team sprang into action. Upon inspection, we found a mother raccoon had created a nest in the attic to raise her young. Following our humane wildlife protocols, we carefully removed the baby raccoons one by one, placing them safely in a warm box near the entry point. After the mother raccoon retrieved all her offspring, we permanently sealed the roof opening with heavy-duty galvanized mesh and repaired all damage, ensuring the home was protected against future wildlife intrusions. This gentle approach allowed the raccoon family to stay together while giving the homeowner back their peace of mind.
Serving the North York area, including nearby streets like Beecroft Road, Doris Avenue, and throughout the Willowdale and Bayview Village neighborhoods, we understand the unique wildlife challenges of this urban-suburban community. The combination of mature trees, older homes with accessible rooflines, and proximity to ravine systems makes areas around Yonge and Sheppard particularly susceptible to raccoon activity. Our two-phase solution – humane family relocation followed by permanent structural repairs – provides North York residents with an ethical yet effective way to handle wildlife intrusions while preventing future problems. Whether you’re near Mel Lastman Square, North York Civic Centre, or anywhere in the Yonge-Sheppard corridor, our team offers specialized raccoon removal services tailored to your neighborhood’s specific needs.
