Raccoon Removal in York and Durham Region
Raccoons in the attic, chimney, or shed can do real damage. Clarkson Pest Control traps and relocates raccoons for homeowners in York Region and Durham Region. We also close the way in.
Signs of a problem
Heavy thumping at night is the classic sign. You may also see ripped vents, soffits, or roof edges. Garbage bins tipped over and trash spread around the yard point to raccoons. A pile of droppings in one place, in the attic or on a deck, is another clue. A strong odour from the attic is also a warning.
How we do the job
Our technician checks the roof, soffits, vents, and chimney for the entry point. Before any trapping, we check for young animals inside. Then we live-trap the raccoons and relocate them. The last step is to repair or close the opening so new animals cannot enter.

Female raccoons look for a quiet, dry spot to have young in early spring. Attics and chimneys are a common choice. Call early. A mother and her young need careful handling. York Region has several river valleys, including the Humber, the Rouge, and the Holland. Raccoons feed near water, and they move into the attics and chimneys of homes nearby.
