Babies inside an attic in Markham, ON

We recently received a call from a homeowner near Bur Oak Avenue in Markham who had been hearing strange noises coming from their attic for several days. Concerned about possible wildlife activity, they requested a full inspection.

Upon thorough inspection of the attic, our team discovered that a mother raccoon had made a den and was caring for a litter of babies. Using a thermal imaging (heat) camera, we carefully located the exact spot where the babies were nested behind a section of the wall.

To safely access the babies, we made a precise cut in the wall and gently removed them using a humane snare pole. Once the babies were secure, we installed a one-way door at the main entry point. This allowed the mother raccoon to exit the attic safely but prevented her from returning.

This is our standard approach for raccoon removal during baby season — always humane, safe, and focused on minimizing stress to the animals while protecting our clients’ homes.
