News, little truths and wisdom regarding Pest Bird & Animal Wildlife Control, Falconry, and Birds of Prey....
Connected row houses, townhomes, and other attached GTA properties present a unique challenge by allowing raccoons to enter through one unit and potentially access connected structural spaces. This makes raccoon removal a multi-property issue.

Connected rooflines, attic voids, soffits, wall cavities, or other structural connections allow movement between units and make both the detection and capture of animals more challenging.

Pigeons can become difficult to control around commercial, industrial and large outdoor properties. Many property owners look for a natural alternative to chemical repellents or physical barriers.

Can falconry remove pigeons? The short answer is yes. Falconry uses the natural predator-prey relationship to drive pigeons from an area. Unlike visual predator decoys, live birds of prey actively interact with the environment and influence pigeons' behaviour.

Yes—permanent raccoon removal is possible when the goal is to eliminate the specific problem animal rather than repeatedly relying on a never-ending cycle of trapping and relocation.

Raccoons almost always become repeat offenders once they establish access to a property. Repeated trapping, deterrence, or repairs can become an ongoing endeavor for home owners, compounding costs and damages.
The key is addressing the specific animal responsible for the recurring infestation rather than repeatedly restarting the same removal cycle. Hawkeye's Permanent Raccoon Removal service provides a specialized option for GTA property owners dealing with persistent raccoon problems. After a raccoon has been removed, appropriate exclusion and property repairs can then help reduce the likelihood of another raccoon taking advantage of the same access point.
A chimney can provide a warm, sheltered, and elevated space for raccoons to den, particularly during Toronto's harsh winters.

Getting a raccoon out of a chimney isn't simply a matter of making noise or blocking the chimney. The appropriate approach depends on whether the chimney is currently occupied, whether young are present, and whether the animal has another way to exit. Chimney access should be handled carefully because improper removal can trap or injure the animal and create a bigger problem.
