Humane raccoon removal in Calgary and area
Raccoons in the attic, chimney or under the deck are destructive and can be aggressive. We remove and relocate them humanely with live traps and one-way doors, identify any entry points, and show you how to keep them from coming back.
Calgary's humane raccoon removal specialists
Raccoons aren't common in Calgary, but we do have them — and their clever paws let them tear through soffits, roll back shingles and string garbage across the yard. The damage often looks like a much bigger animal.
We remove raccoons humanely and deal with both the symptom and the source: the food, shelter and open entry points that drew them in. Then we teach you how to keep the property raccoon-free.
Signs of a raccoon problem in a Calgary home
Raccoons are nocturnal and skilled climbers, so the evidence usually shows up on the roof and in the attic first.
Roof damage
Torn shingles, pried-open soffits and vents, and pulled-back flashing where a raccoon forced its way in.
Noise at night
Heavy thumping, scratching and vocal chittering from the attic or chimney after dark.
Scattered garbage
Bins tipped and trash dragged across the driveway and yard, repeatedly.
Droppings & odour
Latrine sites with concentrated droppings, and a strong smell near the den.
Damaged insulation
Flattened, torn-up attic insulation where a raccoon has been nesting.
Daytime sightings
A raccoon active in daylight, or a female denning to raise young in spring, needs prompt professional handling.
Humane raccoon removal, step by step
DIY raccoon removal isn't safe — they bite when cornered and can carry disease. Our technicians use one-way doors, live traps and heavy protective equipment.

Calgary raccoon removal FAQs
How long does it take to get rid of raccoons?
Usually one to two weeks, depending on how many raccoons there are and whether there are young. Humane eviction plus careful exclusion keeps the property secure afterward.
How do raccoons get into a home?
Roof vents, soffits, attic openings and chimneys are the common entry points. Raccoons are strong and dextrous enough to enlarge a small gap.
How much does raccoon removal cost in Calgary?
It depends on the size of the problem, the location of the den and how accessible it is. We give you a detailed estimate after inspecting.
Can I remove a raccoon myself?
We don't recommend it. Cornered raccoons bite and scratch, and they can carry disease — especially one active during the day. Professional equipment and technique keep everyone safe.
Do you remove raccoons humanely?
Yes. We use one-way doors and live traps to remove and relocate raccoons without harming them, to ensure they can't return.
Do you service areas outside Calgary?
Yes — Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Crossfield, Okotoks and surrounding communities.
