Understanding Raccoon Removal
Raccoon removal involves eliminating raccoons from your property and preventing future infestations. Raccoons can cause significant damage by tearing apart insulation, wires, and roofing materials. They can also transmit diseases like rabies through their droppings and urine. Effective raccoon removal requires a combination of safe elimination and preventive measures to ensure they don’t return.
How to Prevent Raccoon Infestations
Preventing a raccoon infestation starts with proactive measures that safeguard your property and health:
Seal Entry Points:
Inspect your home for gaps, cracks, or openings where raccoons could enter, and seal them with durable materials like metal mesh or steel wool.
Maintain Cleanliness:
Keep your surroundings clean by securely disposing of trash and ensuring food sources are inaccessible to wildlife.
Remove Nesting Sites:
Raccoons often nest in attics, chimneys, and basements. Eliminate potential hiding spots by clearing out clutter and sealing openings.
Trim Trees and Vegetation:
Keep trees, shrubs, and grass trimmed to reduce hiding spots. Ensure branches are not touching your roof, as raccoons can use them to access your attic.
Regular Inspections:
Conduct regular checks both inside and outside your home for signs of raccoon activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, or nests

How to Identify a Raccoon Problem
Here are some common signs that you may have a raccoon infestation:
Noises:
Scratching, rustling, or scurrying sounds coming from your attic, walls, or ceilings, especially at night, are typical signs of raccoon activity.
Droppings:
Raccoon droppings are often found near food sources or hidden areas.
Gnaw Marks:
Look for chewed wires, wooden beams, or insulation, as raccoons gnaw on these materials to sharpen their teeth.
Nests:
Raccoons build nests out of shredded materials such as paper, insulation, or fabric. These are often found in hidden spaces like attics or basements.
Footprints or Fur:
Raccoon tracks or fur left behind near entry points or nesting areas are other indicators of a problem.
How to Remove Raccoons
Effective raccoon removal requires a combination of advanced methods:
Inspection:
Our experts assess the severity of the infestation, locate the entry points, and identify potential nesting sites to develop an effective removal plan.
Humane Trapping:
We use strategically placed live traps to capture and remove raccoons safely, ensuring minimal disturbance to your property.
Exclusion:
After removal, we seal all potential entry points using durable materials to prevent future infestations.
Sanitation:
We clean and disinfect areas affected by raccoon waste to ensure a healthy environment.

After applying the treatment, the holes were closed off by stuffing it with super fine steel wool. I was told it will take a week (to 10 days) for the bees that survived outside to stop coming. It only took 3-1/2 days & all the bees are gone! Very impressive job. Highly recommended.
