Brantford Pest Control

Raccoon Removal in Brantford, Ontario

Humane raccoon removal from attics, chimneys, garages and decks, followed by exclusion and repair so they can’t get back in.

Quick answer

Brantford Pest Control removes raccoons from attics, chimneys, garages, sheds and decks in Brantford, Ontario. We find every entry point, check for babies, remove the raccoons humanely in line with Ontario’s wildlife rules, then seal the openings and repair the damage so they can’t return. Trapping and relocating a raccoon yourself is restricted in Ontario and often leaves babies behind.

Raccoons are strong, smart and common across Brantford, especially near mature trees, ravines and the Grand River. They rip open roof vents, soffits, shingles and chimney caps to reach a warm, dry den. Females look for attics and chimneys in late winter and spring to have their young.

Raccoons in an attic flatten and soil insulation, tear ductwork and can let water into the roof. Their droppings can carry raccoon roundworm, and raccoons can carry rabies, so don’t handle them or clean up droppings without protection. Wildlife emergency? Call 519-900-5452 any time, 24/7. Leave a message and we’ll call you back first thing in the morning.

Ontario rules on trapping and relocating raccoons

In Ontario, nuisance wildlife that is live-trapped must be released within 1 kilometre of where it was caught. Moving a raccoon across town isn’t allowed, and trapping a mother in spring can leave her babies behind in your attic. Lasting raccoon control means humane removal plus sealing the way back in.

Use garbage and green bins with locking lids and put them out on the morning of collection

Trim tree branches at least 2 metres back from the roof

FAQ

Raccoon Removal in Brantford: FAQ

How do I know if I have raccoons in my attic?

Raccoons are heavy, so you’ll hear thumping or walking at night. You may also see torn vents, shingles or soffits, droppings on the roof, or hear chirping babies in spring. Squirrels make lighter scratching sounds, usually in the morning and at dusk.

Can I trap and relocate a raccoon myself?

Ontario rules require live-trapped nuisance wildlife to be released within 1 kilometre of where it was caught, so relocating a raccoon across Brantford isn’t allowed. Trapping a mother can also leave babies behind. Professional removal avoids both problems.

When is raccoon baby season in Ontario?

Raccoons usually have their young in spring, roughly March to June. Mothers often choose attics and chimneys. Removal during this period must account for the babies.

Are raccoons dangerous?

Raccoons usually avoid people but will defend themselves and their young. They can carry rabies, and their droppings can carry raccoon roundworm. Don’t approach them, and keep children and pets away.

Do you repair raccoon damage?

Yes. After removal, Brantford Pest Control seals the entry points and repairs animal damage such as torn vents and soffits, so raccoons can’t get back in.

Do you offer 24 hour wildlife removal in Brantford?

Wildlife emergency? Call Brantford Pest Control at 519-900-5452 any time, 24/7. Leave a message and we’ll call you back first thing in the morning to plan the removal. We don’t promise immediate dispatch overnight.

How much does raccoon removal cost in Brantford?

The cost of raccoon removal in Brantford depends on how many entry points there are, whether babies are present, where the raccoons are and the repair work needed. Brantford Pest Control quotes after hearing about or inspecting the problem, so you know the price before any work starts. Estimates over the phone are free. On-site inspections are available, and the inspection fee is credited toward your treatment if you book. Call 519-900-5452 for a quote.
