blog raccoon rabiesBrampton Raccoon Removal

With the ever-increasing residential neighbourhoods in Brampton, raccoon removal is a common concern with homeowners. Whether raccoons or other wildlife have broken into your roof, chimney, shed, garage, or made a home under your deck, Hawkeye has you covered for raccoon control and/or raccoon removal in Brampton.

  • If you so wish, we offer permanent raccoon and wildlife removal by euthanasia. All of our licenced technicians hold trapping licences which legally allow us to permanently solve your raccoon control issue; many other companies only have the capacity to relocate raccoons within one kilometer.

  • Raccoons carry disease, damage your home, and can be a danger to you and your pets, so it is no wonder that so many people don’t want them on their property.

Brampton Squirrel Removal

Squirrels may seem cute, harmless, and entertaining as they scamper around your yard, but they can actually cause significant problems if they decide to make themselves at home on your property. In Brampton, like in many other urban areas, dealing with squirrel-related issues is a common concern for homeowners.

Animal Wildlife Issues in Brampton

Roof Decay and HVAC Destruction

One of the most pressing problems associated with squirrels nesting in your home is the potential for roof decay and HVAC destruction. Squirrels are notorious for chewing on various materials, including wood, plastic, and even electrical wiring. The same can be said for raccoons.

This chewing behaviour can lead to damage to your roof, siding, and other structural components of your home. Additionally, animals may find their way into your HVAC system, where they can cause further damage by chewing on ductwork and insulation.

Fire Hazard

Once inside and determined to create a cozy nest for themselves, raccoons, squirrels, and other wildlife will move insulation around, and either move or do away with pesky wiring. This leaves your home vulnerable to live wires arcing and potentially start a fire.

Diseases and Health Hazards

In addition to causing physical damage to your property, squirrels can also pose signifiant health risks to you, your family, and your pets.

  • Rabies - Raccoons are the most common carrier of rabies - a disease fatal if contracted by humans and not treated immediately.

  • Like many wild animals, squirrels can carry diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis. These diseases can be transmitted to humans through contact with squirrel feces, urine, or saliva.

  • To minimize the risk of disease transmission from squirrels, it's crucial to avoid direct contact with them and their droppings. If you suspect that squirrels have infested your home, it's best to contact professional animal control in Brampton like Hawkeye to safely remove them and sanitize the affected areas.

When to Call in the Wildlife Professionals

Persistent Infestation

If you have tried multiple strategies to deter raccoons from your property without success, it may be time to seek help from experts. A persistent infestation indicates that the raccoons have become a recurring problem that requires professional intervention.

Signs of Aggression

Raccoons can be carriers of diseases such as rabies and can exhibit aggressive behaviour when cornered or threatened. If you encounter a raccoon that is displaying signs of aggression, it's crucial to contact professionals who are trained to handle wild animals safely.

Structural Damage

Raccoons can cause extensive damage to roofs, attics, and other parts of your property. If you notice signs of structural damage, such as torn insulation, chewed wires, or droppings, it's important to enlist the help of professionals to assess and address the extent of the damage and facilitate a safe animal extraction AND clean-up of the den area.

Humane Removal

Professional wildlife removal services specialize in humane and ethical methods of trapping and relocating raccoons. If you are concerned about the well-being of the animals, hiring professionals ensures that the raccoons are handled and removed in a safe and compassionate manner.
