To avoid costly damage and repairs it is best for Mississauaga homeowners to use professional wildlife removal. When wildlife decide to make their home, in your home, they can cause tremendous amounts of damage and create unsanitary conditions. Cities provide wildlife with secure den sites in the form of attics, vents, decks and sheds to name a few. These species have adapted well to the urban jungle and living alongside humans. Raccoons have a highly developed sense of touch and it is believed that making their paws wet enhances nerve responsiveness which gives them a better understanding of what they are eating.īeyond raccoons, Mississauaga is home to other urban wildlife species including squirrels, skunks, birds, bats, mice, foxes and coyotes. In fact, the latin name for raccoon is Procyon lotor with lotor being the Latin word for “washer”. They are known for the unusual habit of dunking or “washing” their food in water. Raccoons like to make their home near water where they forage for food along the shoreline. How Raccoons Take Advantage of Mississauga These natural corridors, nestled between urban surroundings, provide raccoons and other wildlife with travel routes free from vehicle traffic as well as food sources. In fact, 80% of Mississauaga’s natural areas are associated with watershed valley systems that exist near waterways. The Credit River and Etobicoke Creek are the largest of the city’s 20 watersheds. Some attribute Mississauga’s large raccoon population, at least in part, to the many rivers, creeks and streams that drain into Lake Ontario. Since 1989, Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control has specialized in helping Mississauaga residents to solve their wildlife conflicts. Despite rapid population growth and development, Mississauga is home to large and sometimes troublesome wildlife populations. As the sixth largest municipality in Canada, Mississauaga shares many of the same challenges as Toronto when it comes to urban wildlife. Toronto is often dubbed the raccoon capital of Canada but Mississauaga residents know that those same masked bandits are perfectly at home in the 905 region.
