Raccoons are animals many people wish they never encountered owing to their ability to cause much damage in a short time They invade attics and chimneys, tip over garbage cans not to mention spreading serious diseases like rabies. It is for these and other reasons that people living in areas prone to raccoon invasions are in constant search for the best raccoon removal in Toronto methods. In order to get it right people need to learn a few things about raccoon control:

There are three primary ways of raccoon control among them; trapping, repelling or preventing them from accessing your property altogether.

Trapping is usually the first choice for people with a raccoon problem but it is not always the best approach. There are several things that could go wrong including catching the wrong animal and getting into problems with authorities. Being so crafty raccoons often figure out ways of breaking out of traps, thereby making your efforts to control them futile.

Preventing an invasion is the best alternative to trapping that can be done without fear. Never leave your garbage bins open and if possible secure them with strong cords. Make sure that there are no holes or crevices in the attic and clear your yard of any pet food that could attract the pests. Steel mesh barriers can be used to keep raccoons from getting under your house as well as spiky boards to keep them from pooping in the pool. The secret to preventing raccoons from taking over your yard is removing anything that draws them there.

Raccoons invade property because it provides a warm place to stay and a supply of food but this is often misunderstood. So many people choose to trap the animals in fear of disease and damage to property but this usually ends in the animal getting hurt. To protect them, the law licenses trappers who can catch them humanely.

It is illegal to trap, kill or relocate raccoons in some countries while others demand immunization against rabies for anyone who wants to trap the pesky pests.

The biggest problem with tying to trap raccoons in the attic is that there could be babies nesting there. If for example the mother dies, the young will be left helplessly squealing for help and eventually die causing an unbearable stench in your house.

Some people swear by raccoon repellents like moth balls, ammonia, predator urine, ultrasonic sound emitters and other techniques but these are not guarantees that the problem will go away.
Successful raccoon control demands a professional who is licensed, immunized and understands all that it takes to eliminate the destructive creatures.
