Damaged vent by a raccoon in Brampton, ON

We were recently contacted by a homeowner located near Bramalea Road and Sandalwood Parkway in Brampton, Ontario, after he discovered significant damage to a house vent. Upon closer inspection, he realized the damage had been caused by a raccoon attempting to enter the home, and he immediately reached out to us for expert raccoon removal services.

Our technician arrived promptly and conducted a thorough inspection of the property. It was confirmed that a raccoon had forced its way into the vent, likely seeking shelter or a nesting area. This kind of damage is not uncommon, as raccoons are strong, intelligent animals capable of tearing through vents, soffits, and shingles to gain entry—especially during colder months or breeding season.

To safely and humanely evict the raccoon, we installed a one-way door over the damaged vent. This device allows the raccoon to exit the space naturally but prevents it from re-entering. It’s one of the most effective and humane wildlife removal techniques available.

Once the one-way door was secured, we reinforced the surrounding area with heavy-duty galvanized wire mesh. This mesh is weather-resistant, tamper-proof, and designed to keep raccoons and other wildlife from re-accessing the same entry point or nearby vulnerable spots.

After confirming the raccoon had exited and the home was secure, we scheduled a follow-up to remove the one-way door and complete any final repairs.
