These animals are intelligent, skilled, and persistent.
They can:
Climb onto your roof and enter through a soffit or chimney.
Pulling out insulation, damaging the structure, or even gnawing on electrical cables
Rummaging through your trash every night, leaving garbage everywhere
Transmit diseases such as rabies or leptospirosis
Giving birth in your attic, which greatly complicates the procedure
And above all: if they find a warm and safe place, they will not leave unless they are forced to.
The longer you wait, the greater the damage and risks.
One raccoon today... can become a whole family tomorrow.
The intervention is based on a structured approach that is safe for occupants and respectful of the animal:
Identification of traces of passage and access points
Inspecting the attic, shed, or outdoor structures
Capturing the raccoon using a suitable trapping device
Relocation of the animal to a natural environment, at a safe distance from human dwellings
Sealing openings or cracks that allow intrusion
Preventive measures if necessary to avoid a recurrence
This method aims to provide a lasting solution to the problem without resorting to harmful or dangerous techniques.
No, if he has found a warm, safe place that is conducive to breeding, it is unlikely that he will leave of his own accord. He may stay for several weeks, or even the entire season, especially if he has had a litter.

The cost of a standard procedure starts at $275+tax – warranty included.
Yes, but only under certain conditions. The capture must be carried out using compliant equipment and the animal must be relocated to a minimum distance in accordance with the rules in force in Quebec. All interventions must comply with wildlife regulations.
Raccoons are generally considered dangerous wild animals due to several factors. They can carry rabies and may be carriers of parasites such as raccoon roundworm. Although they are usually afraid of humans, they may defend themselves if they feel threatened or if their nests or young are in danger.
Rabies carriers: They can transmit rabies to humans and pets.
Parasite carriers: They can carry parasites such as raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), which can infect humans and animals.
Defensive behavior: They may bite and scratch if they feel threatened.
Impact on pets: They can be predators of pets and can transmit diseases and parasites to them.
Property damage: They can cause damage to gardens, trash cans, and even homes.
