Our raccoon removal team was dispatched to a residential property in North York, in the area bordered by major streets such as Sheppard Avenue East, Don Mills Road, and Victoria Park Avenue. The homeowner had reported persistent scratching noises coming from the attic, indicating possible wildlife intrusion.
Inspection & Findings:
Upon arrival, the technician conducted a detailed roof inspection and discovered a raccoon entry point through a damaged roof vent, located near the solar panel installation. The vent cover had been torn open, leaving a clear path for the animal to enter the attic.
To ensure thoroughness, the technician also inspected surrounding roof areas near Leslie Street and Finch Avenue East for any signs of additional vulnerabilities.
Actions Taken:
-
One-Way Door Installation:
-
A humane one-way door was installed over the damaged vent. This allows the raccoon to exit safely but prevents re-entry, following ethical and effective wildlife removal standards.
-
-
Securing Entry Points:
-
After confirming the raccoon’s exit, all roof vents and potential entry points were sealed using heavy-duty galvanized wire mesh.
-
The mesh was professionally cut, shaped, and fastened with washers and screws to withstand tampering by raccoons or squirrels.
-
-
Final Inspection:
-
A complete check of the roof was performed, ensuring that no additional gaps or openings were left exposed.
-
Conclusion:
Thanks to the thorough work completed in this North York neighborhood, near key roads like Don Mills Road and Finch Avenue East, the property is now fully secure from raccoon intrusion. The homeowner was left with peace of mind and provided with recommendations for routine inspection and upkeep.
