Raccoon Removal & Control Surrey, BC
Professional Raccoon Removal & Exclusion Services in Surrey
Hearing heavy thumping, scratching, or movement in your attic at night? Raccoons are a common wildlife problem in Surrey, BC, especially in residential neighborhoods with easy roof access and nearby food sources.
At Ideal Pest Control, we specialize in raccoon removal using exclusion methods — not live trapping. Our goal is to safely allow raccoons to exit your home and permanently prevent them from re-entering.
Why Raccoons Are a Serious Concern
Raccoons are strong, intelligent, and highly destructive when they gain access to attics or crawlspaces. Once inside, they can:
Tear apart insulation for nesting
Damage roof vents, soffits, and fascia boards
Rip open shingles or attic vents
Contaminate areas with droppings and urine
Create significant noise disturbances at night
Female raccoons often seek attic spaces in spring to raise young, making early intervention especially important.
Our Raccoon Removal Process (Exclusion-Based)
We focus on long-term prevention, not temporary relocation.
🧐 1. Detailed Exterior Inspection
We inspect rooflines, soffits, vents, chimney caps, and other structural vulnerabilities to identify entry points and damage.
🚪 2. One-Way Door Installation
If raccoons are actively inside, we install a professional one-way exclusion door over the primary entry point. This allows raccoons to leave safely while preventing them from getting back inside.
We take special care during baby season to ensure young raccoons are addressed properly before final sealing.
🔒 3. Permanent Sealing & Reinforcement
Once activity has stopped, we permanently secure entry points using durable materials such as:
Heavy-gauge screening
Reinforced vent covers
Steel mesh barriers
Chicken wire reinforcement
Professional-grade sealants and fastening systems
This prevents future access and strengthens vulnerable areas of your home.
Why We Use Exclusion Instead of Live Trapping
Live trapping alone does not solve the root problem — open entry points. Removing one raccoon without sealing access often results in another taking its place.
Exclusion ensures raccoons leave safely and cannot return, providing a more reliable and long-term solution.
Common Signs of Raccoon Activity
Loud thumping or walking sounds in attic at night
Torn soffits or damaged vents
Droppings around rooflines or deck areas
Garbage scattered around your property
Visible raccoons climbing onto roof at dusk
If you notice these signs, fast action can prevent costly structural damage.
