Typical Cost in Etobicoke
$150–$500
Final cost depends on severity, property size, and treatment method.
Etobicoke is raccoon country. The Kingsway, Thorncrest Village, and the streets around Princess Margaret Boulevard have some of the biggest mature trees in the city — and those trees give raccoons direct highway access to rooflines. Cedar shake roofs, which are common in the Kingsway, are the easiest material for raccoons to tear through. South of the Gardiner, it is a different story. Mimico and Long Branch have waterfront rat activity that people do not expect — Norway rats burrowing under foundations near the lake. The Lakeshore condo boom has introduced bed bug and cockroach problems to what used to be a quiet, low-density area. Up in Rexdale, the townhome complexes along Kipling deal with mice moving between shared walls, and cockroaches in the older apartment towers along Islington.
Our Bird Removal Process in Etobicoke
Inspection
The technician identifies the bird species, maps all roosting and nesting locations, and assesses the extent of the infestation. Pigeons, sparrows, starlings, and house finches each have different nesting habits and require different control methods.
Treatment
Bird netting is installed over roof areas, eaves, and balconies where birds roost. Bird spikes are applied to ledges and flat surfaces. Wire systems are installed where netting is not practical. The goal is to make roosting physically impossible without harming the birds.
Prevention
Bird droppings are cleaned and disinfected with commercial-grade enzyme cleaners. Nesting material is removed. Follow-up inspection 2–4 weeks after installation confirms the exclusion is holding. Annual inspections are recommended for commercial properties.

Why Hire a Professional in Etobicoke
-
Pigeon droppings contain histoplasmosis fungus — a respiratory illness. Large accumulations on commercial rooftops require professional remediation with proper PPE.
-
Birds nest in eave troughs and roof vents, causing blockages and water damage. A single sparrow nest in a roof vent can block airflow and trap moisture that rots surrounding wood.
-
DIY bird spikes are installed incorrectly 80% of the time. Professional installation ensures the system actually works.
-
In Ontario, many native bird species are protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act. A professional knows which species require special handling.
-
Without exclusion, birds simply move to a different part of the same building. Professional bird control addresses every roosting and nesting site simultaneously.
