Client Concern:
A homeowner in Scarborough reached out after hearing loud walking and scratching noises coming from the ceiling, especially during the night. Suspecting wildlife activity in the attic, they requested an inspection to identify the cause.
Inspection & Findings:
Our experienced technician conducted a thorough exterior and attic inspection. Upon examining the roof perimeter, he discovered a raccoon entry point located at a corner just below the soffit area. The access point showed clear signs of tampering and nesting behavior.
Solution Provided:
To ensure the raccoons were safely and humanely removed and prevented from returning, the technician:
-
Installed a custom-shaped 8-foot galvanized steel screen across the entire entry section, meticulously molded to fit the roofline and soffit.
-
Integrated a professional-grade one-way door into the screening system. This allowed the raccoon to exit naturally without the ability to re-enter the attic.
-
Fastened the screen with heavy-duty washers and screws for long-term durability, ensuring it can withstand wildlife attempts to breach it again.
Result:
The raccoon successfully exited through the one-way door, and the attic is now secure from future wildlife invasions. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the humane, non-invasive raccoon removal and the attention to detail in the installation.
