Raccoon Removal Cost in the GTA in 2026: Complete Price Guide

By PestRecord Editorial Team

Raccoon removal costs in the GTA vary more than almost any other pest control service. A simple garage removal costs a few hundred dollars. A full attic removal with insulation replacement and sanitization can cost $1,500 or more. Here is the full breakdown.

Garage Raccoon Removal

Garage raccoon removal typically costs $300 to $600 in the GTA. The job involves inspection, one or two cage traps, removal, and basic exclusion of entry points. Garages are easier to access and usually have fewer entry points than attics.

Basement and Crawlspace Removal

Raccoons in basement window wells, crawlspaces, or under decks cost $400 to $700. The job requires trapping and exclusion. Crawlspaces may involve more difficult access but are generally straightforward.

Attic Raccoon Removal

Attic raccoon removal is the most expensive wildlife job. Full-service attic removal ranges from $500 to $1,500 or more and includes:

  • Full site inspection and damage assessment
  • Humane trapping and removal of adult raccoons
  • Proper handling of baby raccoons if present
  • One-way door installation over entry points
  • Full entry point sealing after raccoons leave
  • Contaminated insulation removal and disposal
  • Sanitization of the attic space
  • Electrical wiring inspection by a licensed electrician
  • Replacement insulation

What Drives the Cost Up

Babies: If a mother raccoon has her babies in your attic, the removal process takes longer. Babies cannot be trapped. They must be allowed to leave naturally with their mother.

Insulation contamination: Raccoon urine and feces soak into insulation and wood. Contaminated insulation must be removed and replaced. This is a significant additional cost.

Electrical damage: Raccoons chew on wiring. If your attic wiring has been damaged, a licensed electrician must inspect and certify it before insulation is replaced.

Why Some Companies Are Cheaper

A company quoting $200 for attic raccoon removal is not providing a complete service. They are likely trapping the animals and leaving. Your attic remains contaminated, the entry points are not sealed, and more raccoons will move in within weeks.
