Raccoon removal FAQ

How much does raccoon removal cost in Brampton?

Standard raccoon removal starts at $450 plus 13% HST. The base price includes one-way door installation, a follow-up visit, entry-point sealing, and repair of the raccoon damage. Baby raccoon removal adds $200, and extra damage repairs are $100 each.

How do you get a raccoon out of an attic?

Sterex inspects the roofline and attic entry, installs a one-way door over the active opening, and lets the raccoon leave on its own. The follow-up visit confirms the animal is out before the door is removed and the entry point is sealed and repaired.

Is it legal to trap and relocate a raccoon in Ontario?

Wildlife handling and relocation rules depend on the animal and circumstances. Review the Ontario wildlife removal guide, then book a professional inspection so the removal plan fits the property and current rules.

What happens if there are baby raccoons?

If babies are present, they may need to be removed manually before the one-way door process continues. Baby raccoon removal is a $200 add-on to the standard job, before 13% HST.

How long does raccoon removal take?

Scheduling depends on when you call and whether a technician is available. If a technician is free, Sterex can schedule the first visit right away. The work normally needs an installation visit and a follow-up visit so the raccoon can exit before the door is removed and the entry point is repaired.

Do you repair the damage and seal the entry point?

Yes. The $450 standard raccoon removal price includes sealing the active entry point and repairing the raccoon damage after the animal exits. Additional damage beyond the base scope is $100 per repair, before 13% HST.

How do I stop raccoons from coming back?

Seal the active opening after the raccoon exits, protect vulnerable roof vents, secure garbage, and trim branches that provide roof access. Sterex can install roof vent covers from $60 per vent, with lower per-vent rates for five or more.
