Raccoons removal

Raccoons are strong, clever, and determined. A mother looking for a safe den can tear through roof vents, soffits, and chimney caps in a single night, and once inside, the damage adds up fast.

Signs you have a problem

  • Heavy thumping or chattering at night
  • Torn soffits, vents, or shingles
  • Tipped trash cans and scattered debris
  • Droppings in one spot (latrines) on roofs or decks

Why it matters

  • Raccoon roundworm in droppings
  • Torn insulation and ductwork
  • Rabies exposure risk for pets and people

Prevention tips

  • Install heavy-gauge chimney caps
  • Secure trash cans with locking lids
  • Trim limbs back from the roofline
