Raccoon Removal Services
Simcoe PestX provides professional raccoon removal for homes and businesses in Bradford, Barrie, and nearby areas. Our team inspects the property, identifies entry points and nesting areas, and develops a humane removal and exclusion plan.
Raccoon Removal Solutions
Raccoons may enter attics, garages, sheds, crawl spaces, and roof areas in search of shelter. Once inside, they can damage insulation, vents, soffits, roofing materials, wiring, and stored belongings.
Our raccoon removal service may include:
- Inspection of accessible interior and exterior areas
- Identification of entry points and nesting locations
- Assessment for dependent young
- Humane removal or one-way exclusion where appropriate
- Recommendations for damaged entry areas
- Preventive exclusion measures
- Follow-up inspection when required
If raccoons are getting into your attic, garage or under your deck, a technician can identify entry points and recommend humane removal and exclusion measures to help prevent them from returning.
Contact Simcoe PestX to arrange an inspection or request a free estimate.
Signs of Raccoon Activity
Raccoons are often active at night and may remain hidden inside roof or attic areas during the day. Common signs include:
- Scratching, walking, or thumping sounds in the attic
- Damaged soffits, vents, shingles, or roof edges
- Disturbed garbage or compost containers
- Tracks or droppings around the property
- Torn insulation or damaged ductwork
- Strong odours from enclosed areas
- Visible raccoons entering or leaving the building
These signs should be investigated promptly to limit property damage and determine whether young raccoons are present.
Our Raccoon Removal Process
Property Inspection
We inspect the roofline, attic, vents, soffits, chimneys, decks, sheds, garages, and other accessible areas for raccoon activity and entry points.
Assessment for Young Raccoons
Before removal, we check whether dependent young may be present. The removal plan is adjusted to avoid separating them from the mother.
Humane Removal
Depending on the conditions, we may use appropriate removal methods or one-way exclusion devices that allow raccoons to leave without re-entering.
Entry-Point Exclusion
Once the raccoons have left, vulnerable openings may be secured to reduce the risk of re-entry. Repairs are based on the location and condition of the damaged area.
Follow-Up Inspection
A follow-up visit may be recommended to confirm that the raccoons have left and that exclusion measures remain secure.
If you hear heavy movement in the attic or notice damaged soffits, a qualified exterminator can check for raccoons, identify entry points and recommend humane removal and repairs to help prevent their return.

Frequently Asked Questions
How effective are your raccoon removal services?
Our service addresses the raccoon’s location, access points, and conditions supporting the intrusion. Results depend on the building, level of damage, and whether dependent young are present.
Are your raccoon removal methods humane?
Yes. We assess the situation and use appropriate removal or exclusion methods. We also check for dependent young before closing entry points.
Can you help prevent raccoons from returning?
Yes. We identify accessible openings and recommend exclusion work, attractant removal, and property maintenance to reduce the risk of re-entry.
How quickly can you respond to raccoon activity?
Raccoon activity should be assessed promptly, especially when animals are inside an attic or building. Contact Simcoe PestX to check the next available appointment.
Should I seal the entry point immediately?
No. Sealing an opening before confirming that all raccoons have left could trap an animal or separate a mother from her young. The area should be inspected first.
What happens if raccoons return?
If activity continues after service, our team can inspect the property again and determine whether another opening or damaged exclusion area is present.
Do you remove raccoons from commercial properties?
Yes. We provide raccoon inspections, removal, and exclusion recommendations for commercial and rental properties.
