What makes Hawkeye different from other wildlife control companies?

Hawkeye is the ONLY pest bird and animal/wildlife control company in Canada designated "Certified Wildlife Control Professional" AND holding the following permits/licenses:

Trapping of Fur Bearing Animals
In contrast to all other companies, we can euthanize the bird or fur bearing animal, thus guaranteeing it will not return.

Commercial Falconry Permit
We use Birds of Prey (hawks, owls, falcons, eagles) to scare, chase, or remove in a natural and humane way.

Ontario Pest Control License
We can employ chemical solutions to certain problems. These methods include natural pesticides.

Trapping of Fur Bearing Animals Permit Shooting in Sensitive Environments
Our extensive training and certifications allow us to use pyrotechnics or firearms, even in urban settings.

We offer PERMANENT solutions above and beyond what other companies can offer. GUARANTEED.

35+ years of Bird and Animal Wildlife Control probably speaks for itself.

Our love for and experience in dealing with Pest Birds and Animal Wildlife has taken us to Airports, Hospitals, Municipal Parks and Marinas, High Rise Buildings, Manufacturing Plants, and to homes all across southern Ontario.

Our unique approach and proprietary equipment as well as our extensive training truly set us apart. All of our technicians are licensed trappers and undergo continued training in areas of safety and best practices.

How to Get Rid of Raccoons on Your Balcony

Raccoons have adapted exceptionally well to city environments like Toronto and other communities in the GTA, where vertical living and dense housing provide endless climbing opportunities. Balconies, terraces, and rooftop patios become attractive nesting and feeding areas during both warm and cold months.

Raccoons invading outdoor living spaces is a problem for all sorts of property types:

Residential Homes
Side or rear balconies near trees or fences are an easy target.
Apartments/Condos
Raccoons access mid-rise to high-rise balconies via drainpipes or cables.
Commercial Properties
Outdoor dining patios, restaurant terraces, and hotel balconies also see an increased number of raccoon visitors.

Why Raccoons Choose Balconies for Nesting

Elevated Security

The height of a balcony provides protection from natural predators like coyotes or dogs, as well and rivals. Raccoons feel secure enough to rest and, critically, to give birth.

Access Routes

Nearby Trees/Vines
Raccoons are avid climbers and frequently use overhanging branches as bridges and ladders. This issue is most common for low-rise buildings.
Downspouts and Railings
Raccoons have learned to climb vertical elements like gutters, downspouts, or fire escapes to reach higher ground.
Adjoining Roofs
Being smart and agile little acrobats, raccoons can also jump from adjacent rooflines or lower balconies.

Where Raccoons Hide or Nest on Balconies

Behind furniture, especially if covered, during the off-season.
In storage bins or patio boxes that are insulated and dark — perfect for dens.
Under barbeques or outdoor heaters: radiating warmth attracts them.
In planters, hanging baskets, or between vertical garden frames.
In covered balcony ceilings or drainage cavities.
On shared ledges or connecting parapets between balconies of adjacent apartments.
