Raccoons in Ontario: Signs, Entry Points & Property Protection

Raccoons are strong climbers and may investigate garbage, decks, roofs, and accessible attic spaces, particularly at night. Scratching sounds, damaged soffits, disturbed bins, and tracks can indicate activity. Mosquito Man inspects the structure and likely entry points, then recommends appropriate wildlife removal and exclusion steps based on the property and local requirements.
