Why Detached Homes in Toronto Face a Higher Risk of Raccoons in the Fall

Especially Toronto's older, well established neighbourhoods see a scurry of raccoon activity once fall arrives. Toronto's detached homes, often surrounded by trees and green space, are particularly attractive to raccoons looking to find a secure and warm space to overwinter.

This article explains why these homes are high-risk, what homeowners can do, and why permanent raccoon removal in Toronto is often necessary.

Why Fall Brings Raccoons Closer to Homes

Winter is Looming
Fall is the preparation phase for surviving Toronto's harsh winter;

"Mi Casa es Su Casa"
Urban raccoons have adapted to treat your home as part of their natural habitat and once inside, will not leave voluntarily;

Winter Denning and Torpor
While raccoons don't actually hibernate, they do slow down considerably and enter a phase of torpor. Having a a warm and sheltered space to settle down in is essential;

Autumn is the last opportunity to act before winter nesting begins and you're stuck with uninvited house guests for months to come.

What Puts Detached Homes at a Higher Risk Compared to Townhomes?

More Entry Points

Detached homes have more independent architectural features, such as multiple gables, vents, chimneys, and soffits.
Aging roofing materials, unsealed attic vents, and gaps in eaves make perfect access zones.
Garages and sunrooms are often overlooked but accessible.

Surrounding Vegetation

Trees, climbing vines, and fences serve as natural ladders to roofs.
Detached homes are usually landscaped, increasing raccoon mobility.
Unpruned branches near rooftops can bridge the gap for entry.

Outdoor Waste Storage

With no shared waste system, detached homeowners often leave bins outdoors overnight.
Raccoons target unsecured compost bins, pet food, birdseed, and fallen fruit.
Unlike condos, there’s less deterrence from noise, lighting, or human traffic.
