A startled homeowner on Burndale Avenue, just blocks from the busy Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue West intersection, called us when a curious raccoon entered through an open window and took refuge in a bedroom closet. Our rapid-response team arrived within two hours, equipped with specialized tools to safely extract the intruder without causing harm to the animal or property. Using professional handling techniques, our technician carefully captured the raccoon with a humane snare, transferred it to a secure wildlife carrier, and relocated it to a suitable natural habitat approximately one kilometer away – following Toronto’s ethical wildlife guidelines while ensuring it wouldn’t return to the residential area.
