We were recently contacted by a homeowner in Mississauga, near Rathburn Road West and Confederation Parkway, who reported noises in their attic and suspected a raccoon had moved in.
Our wildlife technician conducted a thorough inspection of the exterior and quickly found the source of the issue—a damaged soffit that the raccoon had used to gain entry into the attic. To safely and humanely remove the animal, we installed a one-way door directly over the opening. This allowed the raccoon to exit the attic on its own but blocked any chance of re-entry.
We also secured the surrounding area with galvanized steel mesh to prevent further access while the door remained in place. After monitoring the situation for about a week, we confirmed that the raccoon had left. Our technician then returned to remove the one-way door and permanently repair the soffit, fully restoring the home’s protection against wildlife intrusion.
Raccoon-related attic problems like this are especially common in neighborhoods throughout Mississauga, including Central Erin Mills, Port Credit, and Cooksville, where older homes often have vulnerable roof structures.
