Final cost depends on severity, property size, and treatment method.
Burlington stretches from the shores of Lake Ontario and Hamilton Harbour to the Niagara Escarpment, creating a diverse landscape that supports varied pest activity across dramatically different terrain. Aldershot's older homes near the Royal Botanical Gardens face wildlife pressure from one of the GTA's largest urban green spaces, while established neighbourhoods like Tyandaga and Roseland contend with mice and raccoons through aging infrastructure. Millcroft and Palmer's escarpment-adjacent properties encounter deer mice, coyotes, and other wildlife from the Bruce Trail corridor that runs along the city's southern boundary. The Bronte Creek corridor connects these upland areas to the lake. PestRecord connects Burlington residents with licensed pest control professionals familiar with the city's unique geography.
Our Raccoon Removal Process in Burlington
Inspection
The technician walks the entire roofline checking soffits, roof vents, plumbing stacks, and fascia boards. Raccoons leave greasy rub marks and claw scratches at their entry points. If the activity is in spring, the technician confirms whether kits are present before any exclusion work begins.
Treatment
A one-way exclusion door goes over the active entry point. The raccoon pushes out to forage at night but cannot get back in. If babies are present (March–June), the technician waits until they are mobile enough to follow the mother out. This takes patience — typically 2–3 weeks extra during baby season.
Prevention
Once the raccoon is confirmed out (3–7 days after door installation), every vulnerable point on the roof gets sealed with 16-gauge galvanized steel mesh bolted into the structure. This includes soffit junctions, roof vents, plumbing stacks, and any weak fascia. Attic cleanup with decontamination follows.
Signs You Need Raccoon Removal in Burlington
-
Heavy thumping in the attic between 10 PM and 5 AM — raccoons are nocturnal and loud
-
Torn or peeled-back aluminum soffit panels, especially at roof junctions
-
Greasy, dark smudge marks around roof vents or soffit edges where raccoons climb in
-
Droppings on the roof, in the attic, or piled on a flat surface like a deck (raccoon latrines)
-
A strong ammonia or musk smell coming from the attic, worst on warm days
Why Hire a Professional in Burlington
-
Ontario law requires humane removal — one-way doors, no relocation past 1 km. A licensed operator knows the rules and the fines for breaking them.
-
Sealing a hole while babies are inside leads to dead animals in your attic, thousands in damage, and a smell that lasts months. Pros know how to check.
-
Raccoons can carry rabies and their droppings contain roundworm eggs. Proper PPE and decontamination are not optional.
-
Aluminum flashing and expanding foam do not stop raccoons. Only 16-gauge galvanized steel mesh bolted to the structure holds up long term.
-
A proper exclusion job comes with a warranty — usually 1–2 years. If the raccoon gets back in, the company comes back at no charge.
