Raccoon latrine is a particularly widespread problem in Toronto and the whole of Canada really. Raccoon latrine is essentially the collection of raccoon feces and urine which is frequently deposited in one area due to habit and territorial significance. These sometimes-massive clumps can ruin the surfaces they are deposited on as time goes on, in addition to hosting a whole host of diseases and overwhelmingly putrid odours.
If you discover a latrine, you will likely notice that there is an equal distribution of fresh, dark-coloured excrement on top of putrefied, decaying feces that has seeped into the surface below. There will also be a strong smell of urine. For all intents and purposes, do not under any circumstances attempt to clean this dangerous mass of the waste. Consult a raccoon removal specialist immediately.

Raccoon roundworms can easily be transmitted to humans simply by exposing any part of the body to the latrine dump.
