Raccoon Removal in Mt. Washington, KY

New Homes Are Not Raccoon-Proof

Here's something most Mt. Washington homeowners don't expect: brand-new houses get raccoons too. A surprising share of our calls here come from homes under five years old. Why? Rapid construction leaves common gaps — roof-to-fascia joints that were never fully sealed, builder-grade plastic gable vents that pop out under 20 pounds of pressure, and ridge vents with foam closures a raccoon can shred in minutes.

Add the fact that every new subdivision here was recently woodland or pasture — displacing raccoons that already lived there — and you get wildlife pressure on homes whose owners assumed they'd never need our number.

The Builder Gap Inspection

For Mt. Washington homes, we developed a specific checklist targeting the construction shortcuts raccoons exploit:

• Roof return and fascia joint gaps (the #1 new-construction entry point)
• Plastic gable vents — we replace with steel-backed versions
• Ridge vent end plugs and foam closures
• Unsealed HVAC and utility penetrations
• Garage door weather seals and pet door vulnerabilities

Full-Service Removal & Prevention

If raccoons are already inside, we remove them humanely — mothers and kits together — repair any damage to insulation or ductwork, and harden your home against the next attempt. Every exclusion job is backed by our workmanship warranty.
