They don’t just damage yards and homes; they also carry diseases like rabies and parasites harmful to children, pets, and the entire environment.
DIY traps or repellents may seem tempting but rarely solve the root problem. Without proper tools or training, you risk injury or worsening the infestation.
At Gilles Lambert Pest Control, we specialize in raccoon removal in Winnipeg and Southern Manitoba, offering fast, humane, and long-lasting solutions. Don’t let these clever critters take over your home. Contact us today for professional wildlife control services that restore your home’s safety.

Signs You Have A Raccoon Invasion

Raccoons are clever, nocturnal critters that leave clear signs when they’ve made your house their home. Here’s how to identify a potential invasion before serious danger arises:

Unusual Noises at Night
Scratching, thumping, or scurrying sounds from your attic or walls during the night often indicate raccoon activity.

Property Damage
Chewed wires, torn insulation, and broken vents suggest raccoons are nesting. Look for scratch marks on roofing and siding.

Scattered Trash and Food Scraps
Trash cans knocked over or garbage strewn around your yard could signal hungry raccoons searching for food.

Tracks and Footprints
Look for distinctive hand-like prints in dirt or on porches. They’re unmistakable and a clear sign of raccoon activity.

Droppings and Odours
Dark, tubular droppings around your home or urine stains on walls and floors suggest a growing infestation.

Pet Disturbances
Agitated pets or unexplained conflicts with other wildlife in your yard often point to raccoons competing for space or food.

If you spot these signs, contact us to address the issue safely and effectively.

How To Prevent Raccoons In The Future

The smartest way to fend off a raccoon invasion is through proactive prevention. By removing common food sources and securing potential nesting areas, you can keep these unwanted visitors away from your property.

Start by sealing any house entry points like vents, chimneys, and gaps in walls using metal mesh. Secure garbage cans with tight-fitting lids or bungee cords.

Then, you'll want to remove outdoor pet food, clean up fallen fruits from trees, and regularly maintain your garden. Consider installing motion-activated lights or sprinklers to startle them at night. For added protection, use non-toxic repellents with strong odours they dislike.

If raccoons persist, contact us to discuss long-term solutions. A professional approach ensures safety for humans while keeping these crafty critters at bay.

Gilles returned my inquiry within hours of calling and arranged service for the next day. Eric was professional, helpful, and immediately found the source of our problems. He took steps to fix the problems and gave us peace of mind. I really appreciated that he wore a mask, was patient with my dog, and answered all my questions. I’m so glad I found this company!

Called Gilles to help remove a wasp nest in our back yard. He happened to have someone in the area, so within 15 minutes the wasp nest was gone and so is the anxiety of trying to do it ourselves.Would absolutely recommend and use again!

I used Gilles Lambert Pest Control Services to deal with a squirrel issue. I dealt with Cyrus. He was happy to communicate with me via text message which is a huge plus. It took him and his team a few visits to get the squirrels out of my fascia, and then seal it off so they couldn't get back in.I was happy with their prompt service, and would recommend them to anyone looking for pest control.

Previous to using Gilles Lambert pest control I had used Poulins in Winnipeg and was very disappointed in the response not just staying on hold for 10-15 minutes but also how long it takes for an appointment. When they did finally come by everything is additional charges and very high fees and I found that they didn’t explain exactly what the process was which kept me asking a lot of questions. It seemed like they just wanted to get out of there on to the next call. II found my technician Terry personable and very knowledgeable and explained everything to me. Also gave some great suggestions. This morning I was hearing some noises in my heat register I called Gilles and he sent someone down within 4 hours that day that’s unheard of with Poulins. I am so impressed with their professionalism.I am happy to speak to any customers through via Gilles lambert if they want me to define my experience. Very highly recommended They are awesome Thanks again, Neil
