Wildlife (Raccoons, Squirrels, Skunks) control in Canada
Humane removal plus exclusion — and provincial rules apply.
How to identify it
Raccoons, squirrels, skunks and bats entering attics, chimneys, decks and soffits.
Signs of an infestation
- Heavy thumping or scratching in the attic or chimney
- Torn soffits, vents or shingles
- Droppings or strong odour
- Dug-out entry under a deck or shed
Is it dangerous?
Wildlife can carry rabies and parasites, and attic damage often becomes an insurance claim.
Can I handle this myself?
DIY is not recommended
Sealing an entry without removing animals first traps them inside — never do this.
When to call a professional
Call a licensed wildlife professional for any animal inside the structure.
Any pesticide used in Canada must be registered here and applied exactly as its label directs. We don't publish application instructions.
Typical professional treatment
Humane one-way doors, removal, decontamination and heavy-gauge exclusion with a warranty.
Visits: 2–3 visits over 1–3 weeks
How to keep them from coming back
- Cap chimneys and screen vents

- Screen deck and shed skirting
