Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have raccoons in my attic?
Signs of raccoon infestation include thumping or scratching noises (especially at night), visible damage to roof edges or soffits, raccoon droppings in the attic, and occasionally visible raccoon tracks. If you notice these signs, it's important to contact a professional wildlife removal service promptly.
Are raccoons dangerous?
Raccoons can pose health risks as they may carry diseases such as rabies, roundworm, and leptospirosis. They can also cause significant property damage and may become aggressive if they feel threatened, especially female raccoons with young. It's always best to leave raccoon removal to professionals.
How do you remove raccoons?
We use humane live trapping methods that safely capture raccoons without harming them. For mothers with babies, we often use specialized techniques to ensure the entire family is removed together. After removal, we implement exclusion methods to prevent future raccoon entry.
How much does raccoon removal cost?
Raccoon removal costs vary depending on the extent of the infestation, location of the raccoons, number of entry points, and whether damage repair is needed. We provide free quotes before beginning any work.
What happens to the raccoons after removal?
We follow all state and local regulations regarding wildlife relocation. In many cases, raccoons are relocated to suitable natural habitats away from residential areas. Our methods prioritize the well-being of the animals while ensuring they don't return to your property.
How can I prevent raccoons from entering my property?
Preventative measures include securing garbage cans, removing food sources, trimming tree branches away from your roof, installing chimney caps, and sealing potential entry points around your home. We provide comprehensive prevention recommendations as part of our service.
