Raccoon Removal and Squirrel Removal Toronto
Affordable Wildlife Control has costs ranging from $150 for small raccoon latrine cleaning to $550 for full-service baby season removals. Depending on repairs and the installation of prevention measures, the cost could easily double, so it’s better to be aware and prepare ahead of time.
Since 2008, our advertised wildlife removal costs in Toronto have remained highly competitive with our standard service including a thorough inspection, installation of a one-way door, and a full report outlining the preventative measures required to keep squirrels or raccoons from re-entering your home or commercial property.

How Do You Remove Raccoons From A Commercial Building Or Warehouse In Toronto?
To permanently resolve a commercial raccoon problem, professional wildlife removal companies must deploy certified technicians to execute a non-disruptive, humane exclusion process. Unlike residential settings, managing an urban wildlife infestation on commercial private property requires specialized structural sealing to prevent health code violations, employee safety issues, and operational downtime.
Raccoons actively target commercial roofs, loading docks, and warehouses because they provide expansive, warm shelter. Once inside, they cause significant damage to industrial HVAC systems, electrical wiring, and roofing membranes. To safely remove raccoons from large-scale facilities, the industry-standard protocol relies on a commercial-grade humane raccoon removal system. This system utilizes heavy-duty, spring-loaded one-way doors that allow the animals to exit the building naturally while completely locking them out from returning.
What Is The Most Effective Way To Handle Commercial Squirrel Removal In The Gta?
A proper inspection for squirrel entry involves a comprehensive physical and structural evaluation of a building’s entire exterior envelope and attic space to pinpoint active wildlife entry points and latent building vulnerabilities. Experienced squirrel removal technicians look for subtle signs of animal architecture intrusion, such as chewed roof flashing, torn soffit screens, footprint tracks, and structural gaps.
During a detailed inspection on-site, a professional team utilizes proper tools—including high-powered tactical lighting, extendable heavy-duty ladders, and specialized detection equipment—to accurately map out all affected areas. This rigorous assessment ensures no hidden breaches or secondary access holes are overlooked. Once this structural audit is complete, we provide a transparent, upfront quote directly or over the phone based on your property’s specific layout and dimensions.

How Do Professional Wildlife Inspections Identify Health Risks From Raccoon Feces And Animal Activity?
A professional wildlife inspection must prioritize identifying environmental biohazards and local property attractants to mitigate serious health risks to building occupants. Accumulations of raccoon feces inside attics, crawlspaces, or under decks contain resilient pathogens—such as roundworm eggs—that remain infectious for years, posing a direct threat to humans, dogs, and other household pets.
During a thorough structural audit, technicians analyze specific elements of raccoon behaviour and property vulnerabilities to map out a strategy for long term prevention:
- Evaluating Artificial Attractants: The inspection looks closely at unsecured food sources. When property owners accidentally feed raccoons by leaving out pet food, fallen birdseed, or accessible garbage, it creates severe wildlife issues that draw nesting animals away from their natural habits in local natural resources (like Toronto’s ravine systems) and directly into residential gardens.
- Spotting Transmission Zones: Technicians assess the property for localized biosecurity threats. Wild animals nesting near HVAC or ventilation intake vents increase the risk of an airborne or cross-contamination viral infection, such as canine distemper or leptospirosis, which can pass easily to domestic pets.
Understanding these interesting facts about how wild animals navigate urban environments allows our technicians to do an excellent job of diagnosing your structural problems. If you suspect animals have breached your home or you find droppings on your property, contact AAA Affordable Wildlife Control immediately to secure your home.

Heavy-gauge screening is used to reinforce potential entry points.
Galvanized steel mesh helps block raccoons from chewing through entry points.

✔ Pest Control Services & Cleanup
We also offer bird control, dead animal removal, and sanitation for areas contaminated by droppings, urine, food sources, or nesting materials that can create unsanitary conditions; raccoon urine can also damage insulation and structural materials.
Why Squirrel Removal Matters in Urban Toronto
Toronto’s dense urban areas, ravines, and older neighbourhoods create ideal conditions for wildlife activity. As squirrels and other wildlife seek warmth in attics during cold weather, they may cause:
⚠ Structural Damage
Squirrels chew through:
- electrical wiring → major fire hazards
- building materials
- rooflines
- roof vents
- soffits
Raccoons can exert up to 150 PSI of force when prying openings wider.
This can lead to extensive damage and expensive repairs.
⚠ Health Risks
Squirrels may carry parasites and bacteria that compromise indoor air quality.
⚠ Increased Wildlife Activity
Unsealed homes attract:
- raccoons
- other rodents
- birds
- unwanted pests
If left unresolved, a single squirrel problem can escalate into multiple infestations.

Humane Wildlife Control: How We Remove Squirrels
AAA Affordable Wildlife Control uses humane wildlife control methods recommended by industry professionals.
1. Identify
We locate:
- all entry points
- nesting locations in the attic or walls
- whether technicians must check for dependent young before sealing entry points, including raccoon babies
Raccoon breeding season generally runs from March through August; with a gestation period of about two months, females usually have 2–8 cubs each spring.

2. Remove Animals Humanely
The one-way door is installed so squirrels, raccoons, or birds leave naturally without harm, and professional wildlife control companies provide humane raccoon removal services using exclusion-first methods rather than relying on trapping alone. Relocation rules in Ontario are strict, and it is illegal to relocate trapped raccoons more than one kilometer under animal control regulations.
3. Seal & Protect
We secure all access points using wildlife-proof materials to protect the house from future wildlife intrusions.
4. Prevent Future Issues
Our prevention services include drip edge installation, roof vent screening, and full-home squirrel control services, along with waste management steps to prevent raccoons from accessing food sources.
Seal garbage cans or secure bins with heavy-duty latches to deter raccoons from foraging.
Understanding Squirrel Behaviour in the GTA
Eastern Gray Squirrel & Red Squirrel Activity
In Toronto and the GTA, these species commonly nest in:
- attics
- chimneys
- crawl spaces
- roofs
- sheds
- wall voids
They often return to familiar areas due to strong homing instincts, especially when food sources are abundant.
Why Squirrel Problems Cost More During Baby Season
From March to June, squirrel babies are born. Any removal in Toronto during this period must ensure babies are not trapped inside.
This requires:
- careful attic inspection
- manual baby removal
- secure relocation beside the den mother
This additional care increases labour time and pricing.
The Real Cost of Ignoring a Squirrel Problem
Ignoring squirrels can lead to:
- serious property damage
- fire hazards from chewed wiring
- soiled insulation requiring removal
- attraction of other wildlife, including raccoons
Even one small opening can become a major wildlife gateway.
