Over time, numerous wild species of animal have modified their behaviour to excel in urban areas. Commonly encountered wildlife, like raccoons and skunks, pose little threat if you secure professional assistance.
- Opossum Problems: Opossums are ubiquitous scavengers. A prehensile tail provides balance and makes opossums adept climbers. Their high adaptability and omnivore diet allow them to make a home in almost any location. Opossums are wanderers by nature. They may investigate your home in desperate need of food. While typically docile, opossums will bear 50 razor fangs when cornered. Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act allows Toronto homeowners to evict opossums for safety concerns. Contact a licensed wildlife removal team to deal with the problem without risk.
- Raccoon Encounters: Like their opossum cousins, raccoons are ravenous omnivores. They are fearless and invade human garbage cans in search of sustenance. Raccoons regularly make their dens within homes’ attics, walls, or chimneys. Mothers bearing young children often seek out the warmth of a human home. This gives raccoons direct access to human living areas. Ontario’s raccoon population is a major transporter of rabies and other dangerous microbes. Get in touch with experienced rodent handlers if any raccoon finds its way into your personal space.
- Squirrel Discoveries: Squirrels are naturally drawn toward urban areas and their generous food sources. These urbanized animals are often adapted better to city life than natural, forested areas. Homeowner relocation of squirrels is unwise. City squirrels will likely find themselves helpless in an unfamiliar environment. Humane squirrel removal specialists are trained to properly relocate animals without putting them in danger.
Work with a humane wildlife consultant to remove raccoons and squirrels unharmed. Eliminate risks of infectious disease by avoiding direct contact with all wild animals. Toronto families can dial AAA All Seasons Wildlife Control at (888) 440-6328 for comprehensive wildlife removal services.

Toronto wildlife is naturally equipped with tools for gaining entrance to your home. Foil their efforts by applying tactical protective measures across the house.
- Secure and Defend: Wildlife, like raccoons, utilize powerful teeth and claws to access food sources. Homeowners should secure their homes with the proper materials to ensure animals remain outdoors. Welded metal wires can be installed behind vents and exposed shingles. Protect your chimney with a cap and check its durability once a year. Immediately repair any weaknesses in home siding. Apply metal nets to sidewall vents as well. Never leave windows open unattended. An open garage door offers another opportunity for hungry animals.Remove wood, leaves, and outdoor debris that could be used as cover by raccoons and squirrels. Cut back branches that might allow access to an upper story. Wildlife will go through great lengths for food. Keep high light fixtures sealed to discourage birds from nesting on your home. Prevent entry to a deck’s underside by sealing access points with cement. Sufficient preparation can help keep animals from breeching your home’s perimeter. Outdoor pets like dogs and cats also serve as a natural deterrent to wild animals.
- Eliminate Food Sources: Most scenarios in need of wildlife removal are prompted by a reachable food source. This extends to garbing cans, food for pets, and leftovers from backyard BBQs. Keep these items indoors to avoid detection from keen olfactory organs. Animals successful in obtaining food from a homeowner’s property will likely return to the scene at a later date. Territorial wildlife, like opossums, may begin to recognize your yard as its own territory. Consider installing locks for your garbage bins if trash collection is irregular or infrequence.

Contacting a humane professional is the easiest way to safely remove animals from your home. Wildlife removal technicians are specially trained to adhere to the following rules when handling live animals with skilful care.
- Ministry Wildlife Statues: The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has passed several regulations to help humans live in healthy co-existence with their natural neighbours. Homeowners who encounter a wild animal in their home are required by law to have the creature removed within 24 hours. If the animal is suffering from poor health, then homeowners are obligated to contact a humane wildlife removal service. Homeowners can review the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1997 for detailed specifics.
- Benevolent Mammal Removal: Humane relocation places animals within one kilometer of their original habitat. This prevents wildlife from suffering in an unfamiliar environment. Professionals will adjust their removal strategy based on the known breeding cycles of the species. Raccoons, skunks, and squirrels regularly make use of warm human spaces to rear their brood. The presence of young requires special care by wildlife removal specialists. Once the mother has been removed from her den, a heated baby box may be installed to assist natural relocation. After the exclusion is complete, specialists will illustrate vulnerable access points to homeowners to prevent re-entry.
- Flying Pest Exclusion: Manoeuvrable birds and bats present unique challenges to homeowners and wildlife removal experts. Technicians begin by gently removing nesting materials. Flight-capable animals are likely to relocate on their own when their nests are disturbed. Installing a warm baby box near the home allows flying animals to mature naturally and fly away. Removal of deceased young prevents their decomposition from attracting fungus and bacteria to your home.
Don’t take chances when wild raccoons and skunks invade your home. Exposure to wildlife raises your risk of contracting harmful diseases. Trust the experts of AAA All Seasons Wildlife Control to keep your loved ones safe with humane wildlife removal. If you suspect an animal has made a home from your house, call (888) 440-6328 today.
