Damaged pipe and shingle by a raccoon in Markham, ON

A homeowner in Markham, near McCowan Road and 14th Avenue, contacted us after hearing loud noises coming from their attic throughout the night. Upon inspection, they discovered that a raccoon had damaged the roof shingles and created an entry hole beside a rooftop pipe to gain access to the attic, where it had built a nest.

Concerned about further damage and noise, the homeowner called Brilliex Wildlife to handle the situation.

Our technician arrived promptly and assessed the damage. To remove the raccoon safely and humanely, we installed a one-way door at the entry point. This allowed the raccoon to exit the attic on its own but prevented it from returning.

Once we confirmed the raccoon had left, we sealed the opening with heavy-duty galvanized screening to ensure the attic remained protected from future wildlife intrusions. This solution not only addressed the immediate issue but also prevented any further structural damage to the roof.

If you’re raccoons in Markham — whether you’re near Warden Avenue, Highway 7, or beyond — don’t wait for the damage to worsen. Contact Brilliex Wildlife for fast, effective, and humane raccoon removal.
