Detailed Raccoon Removal Services
Our raccoon removal service is designed to be comprehensive, addressing the immediate problem while also preventing future infestations. We focus on humane and effective techniques to ensure the safety of both your family and the raccoons.
Inspection and Assessment
A thorough inspection of your property is the first step in our raccoon removal process. This allows us to identify entry points, assess the extent of the infestation, and determine the best course of action. We look for signs of raccoon activity such as:
- Tracks and trails
- Droppings
- Damage to structures
- Nesting sites
Humane Removal Techniques
We prioritize humane methods in our raccoon removal efforts. Our experts use live traps to capture raccoons without harming them. These traps are strategically placed near entry points and baited to attract the animals. Additionally, we can help you with other needs around the house like ant control or even spider removal.
Safe and Ethical Practices
Our team is trained in the proper handling and relocation of raccoons. We adhere to local regulations and guidelines to ensure that the animals are released in a safe and suitable environment, far from your home. This approach minimizes stress for the raccoons and prevents them from returning to your property.
Exclusion and Prevention
Once the raccoons have been removed, we focus on preventing future infestations. This includes sealing entry points, repairing damaged areas, and implementing deterrent strategies. Exclusion methods are crucial for long-term raccoon control and protecting your property. We also offer rodent control to keep other pests away.
Sealing Entry Points
We identify and seal all potential entry points that raccoons could use to access your home. This includes repairing holes in roofs, walls, and foundations. We also reinforce vulnerable areas such as chimneys and vents to prevent future invasions. Sealing entry points is a critical step in ensuring that raccoons cannot return to your property.
Property Modifications
In addition to sealing entry points, we may recommend property modifications to make your home less attractive to raccoons. This can include trimming trees that provide access to your roof, securing garbage cans, and removing potential food sources from your yard. By making these changes, you can significantly reduce the risk of future raccoon infestations.
Sanitization and Cleanup
Raccoons can leave behind droppings, urine, and other contaminants that pose health risks to your family. Our sanitization and cleanup services ensure that your property is free from these hazards. We use specialized cleaning agents to disinfect affected areas and remove any remaining odors or debris. This process helps to eliminate the risk of disease transmission and restore a healthy environment.
Health and Hygiene
Our sanitization process targets harmful bacteria and viruses that may be present in raccoon droppings. We follow strict protocols to ensure that your home is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. This service is essential for maintaining a safe and healthy living environment. We can also assist with cockroach control if needed.
Common Problems Caused by Raccoons and How We Solve Them
Raccoons are persistent creatures that can cause a variety of problems around your home. Understanding these issues can help you recognize the need for professional assistance.
Damage to Your Roof
Raccoons often seek shelter in attics and can cause significant damage to your roof while trying to gain access. They may tear shingles, damage underlayment, and create holes that lead to water leaks. Addressing this issue promptly can prevent further structural damage and costly repairs. Our exclusion and prevention services specifically target these entry points and ensure they are properly sealed to prevent future access.
Contaminated Attic Insulation
Raccoons frequently contaminate attic insulation with their droppings and urine, creating an unsanitary environment. This contamination not only poses health risks but also reduces the effectiveness of your insulation. We provide comprehensive sanitization and cleanup services to remove contaminated insulation and restore a healthy living environment. Consider combining this with termite treatment for complete home protection.
Raiding Garbage Cans
Raccoons are notorious for raiding garbage cans in search of food. This not only creates a mess but also attracts other pests and wildlife to your property. Securing your garbage cans is an important step in preventing raccoon infestations. We offer advice on how to properly secure your garbage cans and remove potential food sources from your yard. It would also be wise to do some research on Mosquito control in your backyard to protect against mosquitos.
Transmission of Diseases
Raccoons can carry a variety of diseases that are transmissible to humans and pets, including rabies, roundworm, and leptospirosis. Contact with raccoon droppings or urine can lead to serious health problems. Our sanitization and cleanup services eliminate these health hazards by disinfecting affected areas and removing contaminated materials. If a flea problem also arises, we can help with flea treatments.
Nesting in Chimneys
Chimneys provide a sheltered and secure nesting site for raccoons. They may build nests in your chimney, blocking airflow and creating a fire hazard. Our team can safely remove raccoon nests from your chimney and install chimney caps to prevent future nesting. We also perform chimney inspections to ensure that your chimney is safe and functioning properly.
Here are several signs that can help you detect a raccoon presence and the need for professional removal services:
- Unusual Noises: Scratching, thumping, or vocalizations coming from your attic or walls, particularly at night, suggest that raccoons may have taken up residence inside your home.
- Visible Droppings: Raccoon droppings found in your yard, on your deck, or near entry points are a clear indicator of their activity.
- Damaged Vegetation: Raccoons may dig up gardens, overturn potted plants, or damage landscaping while searching for food.
- Collapsed or Disturbed Insulation: If your attic insulation appears torn, compressed, or displaced, it could be a sign that raccoons have been nesting there.
