We were recently called to assist a homeowner near Torbram Road and Sandalwood Parkway in Brampton, Ontario, who discovered significant damage to their roof. A raccoon had torn through several shingles and created an opening large enough to access the attic space. The homeowner heard loud thumping and scratching sounds overhead and quickly realized that wildlife had broken in.
Upon arrival, our technician conducted a full roof and attic inspection to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action for safe and humane removal. It was confirmed that a raccoon had made its way into the attic, likely searching for shelter or a nesting area.
To encourage the raccoon to leave without trapping or causing it harm, we installed a specialized one-way door over the entry point. This device allows the raccoon to exit the attic on its own but prevents it from getting back in. It’s a humane and effective approach we use for most raccoon removal situations.
To ensure the home was fully protected moving forward, we also reinforced the damaged area with heavy-duty galvanized wire mesh. This mesh not only secures the immediate entry point but also helps protect surrounding vulnerable areas that raccoons often target, such as vents, soffits, and roof corners.
Within 24 hours, the raccoon safely exited through the one-way door. Once we confirmed it had vacated the attic, we returned to remove the door and completed permanent sealing and repairs to restore the roof and prevent future intrusions.
