Urban wildlife issues in Toronto are not uncommon, and unwanted animal occupants can break in all year round.  Although there are all sorts of creatures that can enter and cause damage to homes, the most common culprits are squirrels and raccoons.  The first thing to think about when identifying what kind of animal has broken in is the type of noise you are hearing.  Squirrels like mice and rats are rodents, and as such they don’t have much in way of body mass.  As such, squirrels will typically make skittering, scratching, or squeaking noises.  Raccoons on the other hand are much larger and slower, and although they can make noises similar to squirrels their body weight will distinguish them.  Thumbing, rustling, and other loud noises are a clear indication of raccoon activity.

Another method of verifying what type of animal is in your home is the time of day you hear the activity.  Squirrels remain active throughout the day, but they are most active in the early morning and early evening.  Scurrying noises around these times of the day will make it very obvious that you our suffering from squirrel activity.  Raccoons on the other hand are primarily nocturnal animals, so if you are being disturbed by loud noises in the middle of the night chances are they are the pest that have been bothering you.
