Raccoon In Soffit in Mississauga

“Excuse me, some of us are trying to sleep in here!

This raccoon had entered the attic by pulling down a piece of the soffit above the downspout, making for an easy transition inside. While I was inspecting the entry hole, I heard some noise coming from further down in the soffit. When I looked inside, this raccoon was staring right back at me. She stayed in the soffit the entire time while I installed our one-way-door on the entry hole.

Upon my return a few days later, the homeowner reported seeing two raccoons exit the one-way-door and go on their way to an alternate den site. This pair was potentially a mother and her baby.
