We were recently contacted by the property manager of an industrial building located near Steeles Avenue and Dixie Road in Brampton, Ontario, after staff noticed an obvious entry hole on the roof—clear evidence of raccoon activity. The concern was not only the animal’s presence but the potential for property damage, contamination, and safety risks associated with wildlife inside a commercial facility.
Upon inspection, our technician confirmed that a raccoon had gained access through a damaged section of the roof. The entry point showed signs of tearing and displacement, likely caused by the raccoon attempting to enter the building in search of warmth or shelter.
To safely and humanely remove the raccoon without causing unnecessary stress to the animal, we installed a professional-grade R108 raccoon excluder door directly over the entry hole. This one-way door allows the raccoon to exit the building on its own—usually at night when raccoons are naturally active—but prevents it from re-entering.
Once the raccoon safely exited through the excluder, we returned to the site to remove the door and complete a full sealing of the hole using durable materials suitable for industrial structures. Our technician also inspected the surrounding roof area for additional vulnerabilities and reinforced them as needed to prevent future entry.
This hands-off, humane approach ensured minimal disruption to business operations while resolving the wildlife issue quickly and effectively. The raccoon left without stress, and the building was secured the same week.
