The best way to get rid of raccoons humanely and effectively is to call a professional wildlife removal company like Aspen Wildlife Control. We use exclusion techniques that allow raccoons to leave your property on their own and prevent them from re-entering. This approach is favored by provincial wildlife authorities for its humane approach. In some cases, live trapping may be necessary, but the animals are always relocated to a suitable habitat.
While DIY methods like eviction fluids or home remedies may seem appealing, they are often ineffective and can put you and the animal at risk. Raccoons can be aggressive when cornered, and some DIY methods may not address the root cause of the problem, like entry points or attractants. Professional wildlife removal companies have the experience and knowledge to safely and permanently remove raccoons from your property.
Not all exterminators specialize in wildlife removal. Extermination methods for raccoons often involve poison, which can be dangerous for pets, children, and the environment. Aspen Wildlife Control prioritizes humane exclusion techniques and relocates raccoons to suitable habitats, offering a long-term solution that adheres to provincial wildlife regulations.
We strongly advise against using poison to get rid of raccoons. Poison is not only inhumane to the animal, but it can also pose serious health risks to pets, children, and other wildlife. Secondary poisoning can occur when a predator or scavenger eats a poisoned animal, leading to its death as well. Furthermore, using poison doesn’t address the reason the raccoons were attracted to your property in the first place, leaving you vulnerable to future infestations.
Signs of a raccoon infestation include unusual noises in your attic or walls at night, droppings around your property, ripped soffit panels or damaged roof shingles, shredded insulation, and overturned garbage cans.

Raccoons can carry diseases that can be transmitted to pets. Additionally, they can be aggressive when cornered, posing a threat to smaller pets.
If you see a baby raccoon alone, it’s likely the mother is nearby foraging for food. Leave the baby alone and avoid approaching it. However, if you find a baby raccoon orphaned or injured, contact a wildlife rehabilitation center immediately.
Once raccoons have been removed, it’s important to seal up any potential entry points around your roofline, soffits, eaves, and foundation. Additionally, eliminate attractants like pet food left outdoors or overflowing garbage cans.
