Humane removal, honest timing, and a home sealed against the next one.
A raccoon in your attic isn’t just noise overhead at night; it’s usually a mother looking for a safe place to raise a litter, and she’ll tear through your roof to get there. We remove her without harming her, ensure no kits are left behind, repair the entry point, and seal it so it doesn’t happen again.

Raccoons are large, heavy, and not subtle. If one has moved in, you’ll usually know, but here are the signs to confirm if you think you need raccoon removal in London, Ontario:
Unlike most wildlife, a raccoon will make her own way in. A determined female can peel back a roof edge or tear open a soffit in a single night. That’s why to get rid of raccoons in the attic, you almost always have to repair the damage, not just close a tidy gap.
Every wildlife company in London claims to be “humane.” Here’s what ours means in practice.
We don’t trap or relocate. A raccoon taken from her territory and dropped somewhere unfamiliar, away from her den and her young, is very likely to die. Relocation isn’t the kind option; it’s the one that looks kind, and it leaves your entry point open to the next raccoon anyway.
We don’t seal an attic we haven’t emptied. Close the entry without a one-way door, and you’ve sealed a living animal, often a whole litter, in your ceiling. We close every gap only after the raccoon is out.
We’ll tell you when to wait.
Baby raccoons are unable to follow their mother for about the first three months of their lives. If you have a litter in your attic, you can’t remove the mother without harming the kits; they will starve in place. So during those months, here’s what we do instead of rushing:
Rushing an eviction to close a sale is how kits get orphaned. That’s the part of humane raccoon removal in London, Ontario, that appears on our invoice rather than in our marketing.

There’s a right order to this, and skipping a step is how raccoons come back, or how kits get left behind.
We inspect your roofline, soffits, vents, chimney, and attic to determine the entry point and verify whether a litter is present. The second question is as important as the first when dealing with raccoons.
If kits are present, they’re removed by hand and placed in a reunion box near the exit so the mother can move them herself. No litter is ever sealed inside.
Once the young are handled, the one-way door is installed at the main entry. The raccoon leaves to forage and can’t get back in; no trapping, no handling.
We repair the torn entry and seal every other weak point, including soffit intersections, loose vents, and roof edges, using materials built to withstand a raccoon’s strength.
We confirm the raccoon is out and the home is closed before we consider the job done.
That sequence is what a proper raccoon removal service looks like in practice, and a Lifetime Warranty backs every step. If a raccoon gets back in through a point we sealed, we do too.
Among the animals that enter a London home, raccoons cause the most damage. At up to 30 pounds, with hands strong enough to peel back roofing, a determined female treats your roof as an obstacle, not a barrier.
The typical entry points we repair:
Here’s why the repair matters as much as the removal: a raccoon that has been in your attic once has left both a hole and a scent behind. Leave the damage unrepaired, and you haven’t solved the problem; you’ve left an advertised, pre-opened den for the next raccoon that comes through. We repair the structure with materials chosen to withstand a raccoon’s strength, so the fix is permanent, not a patch. This is the difference between raccoon removal in an attic in London that lasts and a callback next spring.
Raccoons follow a predictable yearly cycle, and where you are in it determines how the job has to be done. The single biggest factor is whether there’s a litter in the den, because dependent kits change everything about the timing.
Season | What’s happening | What it means for removal |
Late winter (Feb–Mar) | Mothers scouting and entering attics for den sites | Best window for prevention and sealing before litters arrive |
Spring (Apr–May) | Kits born, immobile for roughly three months | Reunion required; no straight eviction |
Summer | Kits growing and becoming mobile | Eviction once the young can follow the mother |
Fall (Oct–Dec) | No dependent young in the den | Straightforward one-way-door eviction |
Whatever the season, the honest answer comes from an inspection, not a phone quote. If there’s a litter, we reunite before we evict; if not, we can often move quickly. In either case, our raccoon removal services include eviction, repair, and sealing, so one call does it all.

Overhead thumping at night, a hole in the roof or soffit that has been torn open, chittering or crying noises, droppings on the roof, and trampled insulation. The crying noise specifically indicates a litter, altering the way the job must be performed.
Don’t seal the entry, and don’t try to handle them yourself; a mother defending her young can be aggressive. Baby raccoon removal is a hands-on job done at the den, pairing the kits with a reunion box so the mother moves them to another site. Reuniting the young is the core of humane raccoon work, and it’s what we do on every spring job.
If you’re searching for “raccoon removal services near me” in London, that’s us. We use one-way doors, never traps or poison; we check for and reunite kits before we seal; and we repair the damage on the way out.
There’s no flat rate, and any company quoting raccoon removal over the phone hasn’t seen your roof. Costs depend on the entry point, the extent of damage, whether a litter is involved, and the amount of repair work required. A single clean entry is a different job from a torn-open roof with a litter inside. We provide a free, written inspection and quote.
The one-way door typically stays in place for a few days to confirm the raccoon has left before we seal and repair. If there’s a litter to reunite or significant damage to repair, the job takes longer. A raccoon removal expert should give you a realistic timeline at the inspection, and we do.
They can be. Raccoon droppings can carry roundworm, which is rare in humans but can be serious. Young children and pets are most at risk, and a mother defending a litter can be aggressive toward pets. This is a job for trained technicians. We’re one call away, humane, guaranteed, and local.
