Racoons
About Raccoons and Why Humane Removal Is Essential
Raccoons are clever, adaptable urban wildlife commonly found across Montreal and surrounding areas. While they may look cute, they can quickly become a serious nuisance when they move into homes. At Humane Wildlife Removal MTL, we specialize in humane raccoon removal and long-term prevention. We never harm the animals, we focus on safe relocation, thorough cleanup, and sealing your property so they stay out for good. Whether you have raccoons in your attic, chimney, garage, or backyard, our local experts provide effective, guaranteed solutions tailored to Montreal’s climate and wildlife patterns.
Signs you have Raccoons
- Scratching, thumping, or chattering noises in the attic or walls (especially at night)
- Overturned garbage cans or scattered trash
- Large, tubular droppings (often containing undigested food) near entry points
- Paw prints or greasy smudges along fences, roofs, or siding
- Torn insulation, chewed wires, or damaged soffits and vents
- Strong ammonia-like odors from urine and feces
The Risks of Raccoon Infestations
- Property Damage: They tear apart attic insulation to build dens, chew electrical wires (fire hazard), and damage roofs or vents while forcing entry.
- Health Concerns: Raccoon droppings can carry "Baylisascaris procyonis" (raccoon roundworm), a parasite dangerous to humans and pets. Other risks include rabies, leptospirosis, and fleas/ticks.
- Odors & Contamination: Accumulated waste creates persistent smells and can spread through your HVAC system.
Our Humane Raccoon Removal Process
1. Thorough Inspection: We identify all entry points, nesting areas, and the extent of the issue (including babies, which we handle with extra care).
2. Safe Removal: Using humane methods including one-way exclusion doors, we remove raccoons humanely without harm.
3. Safe Relocation: Animals are relocated responsibly according to local regulations.
4. Complete Cleanup & Sanitization: We remove all waste, decontaminate the area, and restore insulation if required.
5. Permanent Exclusion: We seal every gap with wildlife-proof materials (metal flashing, heavy-duty mesh, etc.) so raccoons can’t return.
