A homeowner in Mississauga, near Mavis Road and Britannia Road West, contacted us after hearing scratching noises coming from inside their fireplace. Concerned it might be a raccoon or another animal, they reached out for professional wildlife removal.
Our technician arrived promptly and conducted a full inspection of the property, focusing on the chimney and surrounding roof structures. Upon inspection, it was confirmed that a raccoon had recently taken shelter inside the chimney flue, but had already vacated the space.
To prevent future intrusions, our technician sealed the chimney cap and reinforced all vulnerable areas around the roofline with galvanized steel mesh. These preventative measures are designed to stop wildlife—raccoons in particular—from nesting in chimneys, attics, or soffits.
This type of situation is common in areas like Lisgar, Lakeview, and Sheridan, where raccoons often seek warm, enclosed places to shelter—especially during colder months.
