Raccoons are one of the most common and persistent wildlife problems in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Known as the “raccoon capital of the world,” the city’s urban environment provides the perfect mix of food, shelter, and hiding spots for these clever animals. If you’ve discovered raccoons in your attic, on your roof, or around your commercial property, you’re not alone — and you need fast, professional raccoon removal Toronto services.
At First Choice Wildlife Services, we specialize in safe, humane raccoon removal for both residential and commercial properties across Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Brampton, Hamilton, and the entire GTA.
Why Raccoons Are Such a Big Problem in Toronto & the GTA
Raccoons thrive in the GTA because of:
- Abundant food sources (garbage, compost, pet food)
- Easy access to attics, soffits, chimneys, and rooftops
- Mild winters that allow them to stay active year-round
A single family of raccoons can cause thousands of dollars in damage in just a few weeks — tearing insulation, chewing wires, and contaminating areas with droppings that carry diseases like leptospirosis and canine distemper.
Signs You Need Professional Raccoon Removal in Toronto
Look for these common warning signs:
- Loud scratching or thumping noises in the attic or ceiling at night
- Torn soffits, damaged shingles, or grease marks around entry points
- Scattered garbage or overturned bins
- Strong ammonia-like smell from urine and droppings
- Baby raccoon noises (chattering or crying) in spring
If you notice any of these, it’s time to call a licensed wildlife removal company — DIY methods are often ineffective and can be dangerous.
