Professional Raccoon Feces Cleanup in Toronto
Raccoons are one of the most common urban wildlife species in Toronto and the GTA. Where raccoons go, they leave behind a serious biohazard. Raccoon feces (also called raccoon scat or latrines) contain dangerous parasites, bacteria, and viruses that pose a direct health risk to humans, children, and pets. A single raccoon latrine site can contain millions of infectious eggs that persist in soil, wood, and insulation for years.
At God's Cleaning Crew, our certified biohazard technicians provide complete raccoon feces cleanup and decontamination services for both residential and commercial properties across Toronto and the GTA. We remove all fecal matter, neutralize urine odours, treat contaminated surfaces, and restore your property to a safe, habitable condition.
Why Is Raccoon Feces a Biohazard?
Raccoon feces are classified as a biohazard because of the pathogens they carry. The most dangerous is Baylisascaris procyonis, the raccoon roundworm, whose eggs are shed in enormous quantities in raccoon feces. Once released into the environment, these microscopic eggs can survive in soil, wood, concrete, and insulation for several years. They are highly resistant to common disinfectants and require specialized treatment for complete eradication.
In addition to roundworm, raccoon waste can carry Leptospira bacteria (causing Leptospirosis), Giardia, Salmonella, and rabies virus in urine and saliva. These can contaminate your deck, backyard soil, attic insulation, garage floor, or commercial space, creating an ongoing health hazard for anyone who uses those areas.
Do not attempt to clean up raccoon feces without proper PPE and training. Standard household cleaners do not kill raccoon roundworm eggs. Improper cleanup can aerosolize eggs and spread contamination further. Call our team at 1-888-679-9116 for a safe, thorough, certified cleanup.
Health Risks from Raccoon Feces Exposure
Exposure to raccoon feces can lead to serious illness, even through indirect contact like touching contaminated soil, surfaces, or inhaling dust. Key health risks include:
- Baylisascariasis (Raccoon Roundworm): Caused by ingesting Baylisascaris procyonis eggs. After hatching in the intestine, larvae migrate to the brain, eyes, and organs. Symptoms range from nausea and fatigue to loss of muscle control, blindness, and in severe cases, death. Children are at highest risk due to hand-to-mouth behaviour near contaminated soil or play areas.
- Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection spread through raccoon urine contaminating soil and water. Causes fever, muscle pain, vomiting, jaundice, and in severe cases kidney failure. Risk is elevated in garages, sheds, and warehouses where raccoons have urinated on floors or equipment.
- Giardiasis: A parasitic infection from Giardia found in raccoon feces that contaminates water and surfaces. Causes prolonged diarrhea, stomach cramps, and dehydration.
- Salmonellosis: Salmonella bacteria present in raccoon feces can cause severe food poisoning if it contaminates kitchen areas, decks used for dining, or storage spaces where food is kept.
- Respiratory risks from aerosolized particles: Disturbing dried raccoon feces during renovation of an attic, cleaning a garage, or sweeping a deck can release fine particles and eggs into the air. Inhaling these particles is a direct route of infection.
If you or a family member has had direct contact with raccoon feces or has been in a heavily contaminated space, consult a physician immediately. For the property itself, call us at 1-888-679-9116 for a professional assessment.

Raccoon Feces Cleanup for Residential Properties
Raccoons are highly adaptable and will nest, forage, and defecate throughout residential properties. They are most active at night, meaning homeowners often discover contamination well after it has built up. Below are the most common residential areas we decontaminate:
Decks & Patios
Decks are a favourite raccoon latrine site. Raccoons return repeatedly to the same defecation spot, a behaviour called latrine site fidelity, which means contamination on your deck accumulates over time. Feces left on wooden deck boards can soak into the grain, making surface cleaning ineffective. We remove all fecal matter, treat the wood with hospital-grade disinfectants, and neutralize any residual odour that attracts raccoons back.
Backyards & Gardens
Backyard soil contaminated with raccoon feces is a direct risk to children playing outside and to vegetable gardens. Raccoon roundworm eggs in soil can be inadvertently ingested through hand-to-mouth contact. We safely remove contaminated material, treat affected soil, and advise on deterrent measures to prevent re-entry.
Attics
Attics are among the most serious raccoon contamination scenarios. A family of raccoons nesting in your attic for even a few weeks can cause extensive fecal and urine contamination of insulation, wood beams, and drywall. Contaminated attic insulation must be completely removed and replaced. It cannot be cleaned in place. Our team performs full attic decontamination including removal of soiled insulation, treatment of wood surfaces, and odour elimination to prevent re-infestation.
Sheds
Garden sheds provide raccoons with a dark, sheltered nesting space. Feces accumulate on floors, shelving, and stored items. Contaminated tools, pots, and equipment can transfer pathogens to your hands during normal use. We clear and decontaminate the entire shed, treat all surfaces, and dispose of any items that cannot be safely cleaned.
Garages
Raccoons entering garages through unsecured doors or vents leave feces and urine on concrete floors, on vehicles, and near food storage areas. Leptospira from raccoon urine can penetrate skin through small cuts and is especially dangerous on wet garage floors. We decontaminate the full garage space, treating floors, walls, and any affected vehicles or equipment.
If raccoons have been in your home, attic, garage, shed, or backyard, call us at 1-888-679-9116 for a prompt decontamination. We serve Toronto and the GTA.
Raccoon Feces Cleanup for Commercial Properties
Raccoon invasions at commercial properties present unique challenges: the need for minimal operational disruption, liability concerns around employee and customer health, and regulatory compliance. God's Cleaning Crew provides rapid, professional raccoon feces cleanup for a wide range of commercial environments.
Offices
Raccoons accessing roof spaces, dropped ceilings in office buildings can contaminate insulation above workspaces. This creates an airborne health risk for employees who may be unknowingly exposed to aerosolized fecal particles. We decontaminate affected ceiling spaces, and any surface areas while maintaining full discretion.
Warehouses & Industrial Units
Large, open warehouse structures with loading dock doors and roof access points are highly susceptible to raccoon entry. Raccoons nest in racking systems, on stored goods, and in wall cavities. A raccoon colony in a warehouse can contaminate product inventory, floors, and equipment. We provide rapid response decontamination services scaled to large-footprint commercial spaces.
Trailers & Transport Vehicles
Parked or decommissioned trailers are a common raccoon nesting site. The enclosed space retains odour and accelerates the concentration of harmful pathogens. Feces in food-carrying trailers or those used for medical transport create regulatory compliance issues. Our trailer decontamination service includes removal of all fecal matter, full interior disinfection, and odour neutralization.
Storage Units
Storage facilities with raccoon infestations risk contaminating the belongings of multiple tenants. As a facility operator, failure to address known contamination can expose you to liability. We provide discreet, professional cleanup that protects tenant property and restores your facility to a safe condition.

Frequently Asked Questions: Raccoon Feces Cleanup
| Question: Is raccoon feces really that dangerous? Can't I just clean it myself? |
|---|
| Raccoon feces carry Baylisascaris procyonis (raccoon roundworm), whose eggs are not killed by standard household cleaners or bleach. Improper cleanup, especially sweeping or vacuuming without a HEPA filter, can aerosolize eggs and dramatically increase your exposure risk. Professional cleanup with the correct PPE, equipment, and disinfectants is strongly recommended by public health authorities. |
| Question: Do I need to replace my attic insulation after a raccoon infestation? |
|---|
| In most cases, yes. Raccoon feces and urine saturate fibreglass batt and blown-in insulation and cannot be effectively decontaminated in place. The insulation must be removed, the subfloor and joists treated, and new insulation installed. We provide full attic insulation removal and remediation services as part of our cleanup process. |
| Question: How quickly can you respond? |
|---|
| We offer same-day and next-day response across Toronto and the GTA. For urgent situations like feces discovered inside a living space, near a child's play area, or in a food preparation environment, call us immediately at 1-888-679-9116 and we will prioritize your job. |
| Question: Will my home insurance cover raccoon feces cleanup? |
|---|
| Some home insurance policies cover wildlife damage including raccoon intrusion and the resulting cleanup costs. Call us and we can help setup the insurance procedures required to get the claim done. |
| Question: Do you remove the raccoons as well? |
|---|
| Our service focuses on the feces cleanup, decontamination, and odour removal after the raccoons have been excluded or removed. For raccoon removal and exclusion (sealing entry points), we recommend engaging a licensed wildlife control operator first. We are happy to coordinate with your wildlife removal company and schedule cleanup immediately after exclusion. |
| Question: Do you also clean up other animal feces like squirrels, birds, bats and mice? |
|---|
| Yes. Our wildlife feces cleanup service covers a wide range of animals including squirrels, pigeons, bats, mice, rats, and other wildlife. Call us to discuss your specific situation. |
