Hearing heavy thumping, loud scratching, or vocal chirping coming from your attic or crawlspace? You likely have a raccoon problem. In Ottawa, raccoons are highly intelligent and incredibly strong, often tearing through roof shingles, soffits, and vents to find a warm place to nest.
Unlike smaller rodents, raccoons can cause massive structural damage in a very short time. They are known for destroying attic insulation with their waste, ripping up air ducts, and posing a health risk through parasites and "raccoon roundworm.
At Pest Control Ottawa, we provide professional raccoon removal that focuses on long-term prevention. We don't just evict the intruder; we fortify your home against future break-ins, ensuring your family stays safe and your property remains secure.

What Do Professional Raccoon Removal Specialists Do?

Raccoons are much stronger than squirrels, meaning standard mesh won't keep them out. Our technicians perform a rigorous inspection to identify main entry points and structural vulnerabilities.

We utilize One-Way Door Systems that allow the raccoon to exit the home to forage but lock them out upon their return. If babies are present, we use specialized "heated reunion boxes" to ensure the mother can safely move her young to a new den site. Once the space is vacated, we use heavy-gauge steel screening and industrial sealants to "raccoon-proof" your roofline.

Signs You Have a Raccoon Infestation

Raccoons are nocturnal, so you are most likely to hear them at night. Look for these red flags if you suspect a raccoon has moved in:

• Heavy Thumping: Unlike the light scurrying of squirrels, raccoons sound like a heavy "thump" or slow walking in the ceiling.
• Destroyed Soffits or Shingles: Raccoons will literally peel back roof vents or tear holes in soffits to gain access.
• Vocalizations: High-pitched chattering, growling, or "crying" sounds (often a sign of a litter of kits).
• Large Latrines: Raccoons tend to use one specific area as a bathroom, leading to visible waste and staining on ceilings or in the attic.
• Toppled Trash Cans: Repeatedly raided garbage bins near your home's entry points.

Our Raccoon Removal & Exclusion Process

We follow a strict protocol to ensure the raccoon is removed safely and permanently.

1. Comprehensive Property Inspection We identify the specific entry point and determine if there is a mother with a litter of babies (kits) inside.
2. Humane Exclusion & Baby Removal We install a heavy-duty one-way door. If babies are present, we remove them by hand and place them in a safe box for the mother to retrieve at night.
3. Professional Raccoon-Proofing We secure vents, chimneys, and roof intersections with heavy-gauge galvanized steel to prevent the raccoon from using its strength to break back in.
4. Attic Decontamination Raccoon waste is hazardous. We offer professional cleanup and insulation replacement to remove pheromones and dangerous pathogens.
