Raccoon Baby Season Is Here – Why Professional Raccoon Removal Is Essential for Your Property

As winter transitions into spring, Toronto homeowners should prepare for an increase in raccoon activity. Raccoon baby season is just around the corner, with the first litters expected to arrive within the next two weeks. During this time, pregnant raccoons actively seek out warm, enclosed spaces to give birth, and unfortunately, attics, chimneys, crawl spaces, and garages provide the perfect nesting spots.

If you’re already hearing scratching noises, noticing damage to your roof, or finding raccoon droppings near your property, it’s time to act fast. Removing raccoons after babies are born becomes even more challenging, and improper handling can lead to serious property damage, aggressive raccoon behavior, and health risks.

Hiring unqualified or unlicensed wildlife removal services can make matters worse. Trapping a mother raccoon without removing her babies first can lead to orphaned kits left behind, creating a horrible odor, attracting flies, and causing structural damage. That’s why TSR Pest Control and Wildlife Removal takes a humane, effective, and professional approach to raccoon removal and prevention.

With years of experience, advanced tools, and a deep understanding of raccoon behavior, TSR ensures safe removal while minimizing risks to both your property and the raccoons. Read on to learn why you should never ignore a raccoon infestation, why baby season requires a professional approach, and how TSR provides lasting protection for your home.

Why Baby Raccoon Season Poses Unique Challenges for Homeowners

1. Raccoons Become More Aggressive

A mother raccoon is extremely protective of her babies. If she feels threatened, she may hiss, growl, or even attack if someone gets too close to her nest. This makes DIY removal extremely dangerous for homeowners.

Even untrained wildlife control services can provoke defensive behavior if they attempt to remove raccoons without the right tools and techniques. That’s why TSR’s experts use specialized equipment and humane methods to encourage the raccoons to relocate their young naturally.

2. Babies Are Hidden Deep in the Attic or Walls

Unlike adult raccoons, baby raccoons can’t move on their own for several weeks. They are often hidden deep within insulation, behind walls, or tucked away in unreachable corners of the attic. Simply removing the mother won’t solve the problem.

At TSR, our trained professionals conduct a thorough inspection using thermal imaging and motion-sensing equipment to locate all babies before eviction begins. If necessary, we safely retrieve them and place them in a heated reunion box to allow the mother to relocate them to a safer den.

3. Raccoons Cause Costly Property Damage

A single raccoon can tear through shingles, vents, soffits, and wooden beams in search of shelter. When babies are involved, the damage can escalate quickly.

• Insulation damage – Raccoons rip apart attic insulation to build nests, reducing your home’s energy efficiency and increasing heating/cooling costs.
• Electrical hazards – Chewed wires create serious fire risks.
• Structural weakening – Raccoons claw through wooden beams and drywall, leading to expensive repairs.

Ignoring a raccoon problem only makes the damage worse. That’s why TSR doesn’t just remove raccoons—we repair and reinforce your home to prevent future infestations.

4. Health Risks from Raccoon Infestations

Raccoons are known carriers of diseases that can be transmitted to humans and pets, including:

• Rabies – A fatal virus that affects the nervous system.
• Leptospirosis – A bacterial infection spread through urine, leading to flu-like symptoms.
• Raccoon Roundworm (Baylisascaris) – A parasite found in raccoon feces that can cause severe neurological issues in humans.

Simply cleaning up raccoon waste without proper protective gear can expose you to these dangerous pathogens. TSR ensures your home is fully sanitized and safe for your family after raccoon removal.
