Raccoons are known to cause extensive damage to homes, especially when they manage to get inside through weak points in the structure. We were recently called to a property in Mississauga, located near Tomken Road and Eglinton Avenue East, where the homeowners had discovered a raccoon in their attic.
During our inspection, our technician identified the main entry point—a hole around a roof pipe leading directly into the attic. This kind of damage is quite common in areas like Erindale, Malton, and Lorne Park, where older homes may have exposed roofline gaps or venting systems that wildlife can exploit.
To humanely evict the raccoon, we followed our proven method:
-
Locate and assess the entry hole.
-
Install a one-way door over the hole, allowing the raccoon to leave but preventing re-entry.
-
Secure the area with galvanized steel screening to protect it from future wildlife access.
This approach ensures the raccoon leaves safely while giving homeowners long-term peace of mind. If you’re dealing with raccoon problems in your attic or roof space, visit our website to learn more about our professional raccoon removal services.
