We were recently called to a residential property near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Eglinton Avenue West in Mississauga for a raccoon removal job. The homeowner reported that a raccoon had gained access to the attic by damaging several sections of the soffit around the roofline.
Upon inspection, our wildlife technician identified multiple entry points, with the most significant damage occurring at a corner of the soffit. To safely and humanely remove the raccoon, we installed a one-way door at the primary entry point. This door allows the raccoon to exit but prevents it from re-entering.
After confirming the raccoon had left the premises, our technician proceeded with the necessary repairs. He restored all damaged areas of the soffit and reinforced the structure with galvanized steel mesh. This mesh serves as a long-lasting barrier to prevent raccoons or other wildlife from re-entering in the future.
This kind of service is common in areas like Burnhamthorpe Road, Creditview Road, and Dundas Street West, where mature trees and nearby ravines provide ideal environments for raccoons. Residents in Mississauga should stay vigilant for signs of wildlife intrusion, especially in spring and fall when raccoons are most active.
