Humane Raccoon Removal and Exclusion Services

Raccoons are highly intelligent and adaptable animals that thrive in the urban, suburban, and rural environments of California, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona. While fascinating to observe in the wild, a raccoon intrusion in your attic, chimney, deck, or crawlspace presents significant risks to your property and the health of your family.

ecoPest Wildlife Management provides safe, humane, and professional Raccoon Removal and Exclusion services, specializing in reuniting mothers with their young and repairing the damage they leave behind.

The Dangers of a Raccoon Intrusion

When raccoons take up residence in your home, they cause immediate and long-term problems:

  • Property Destruction: Raccoons tear up roofing shingles, chew on support beams, rip apart insulation for nesting, and damage vents and ductwork to gain access. This structural damage can be extensive and costly, often leading to water damage and reduced energy efficiency.
  • Contamination and Health Risks: Raccoon feces are highly hazardous and often contain the eggs of the Raccoon Roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), a parasite that can be dangerous to humans if accidentally ingested. Their waste also attracts mold and other pests.
  • Odor and Attraction: Strong urine and musk odors saturate the invaded area, which can attract more raccoons, especially during mating and nesting seasons, making the problem chronic.
  • Nesting Season Complications: Female raccoons often seek quiet, warm, and secure spaces like attics to birth and raise their kits (typically spring). Removing a mother requires careful, specialized techniques to ensure the kits are safely located and removed with her.

Our Comprehensive Raccoon Removal Process

Our approach is focused on humane handling, effective exclusion, and complete restoration.

1. Inspection and Strategy

  • Our certified technician conducts a thorough inspection to identify all entry points, assess the extent of the damage, and—most crucially—determine if a mother and kits are present.
  • We then develop a strategic, non-lethal removal plan tailored to the specific situation and location.

2. Humane Removal and Family Reunification

  • We use specialized, humane traps placed at the entry point or employ deterrents to encourage the raccoon to leave voluntarily.
  • For a mother and kits, we prioritize using passive methods and deterrents to convince the mother to relocate her young herself. If necessary, we carefully remove the kits by hand and use them as bait in a safe, sealed reunion box placed outside. The mother will locate and relocate her young to a pre-existing den site away from your property.

3. Permanent Exclusion and Sealing

  • Once all raccoons are confirmed removed, we repair and reinforce the damaged entry point using heavy-gauge metal flashing, wire mesh, and durable sealants.
  • All secondary access points, potential weaknesses, and weak areas in the roof and foundation are secured (raccoon-proofing) to prevent future entry.

4. Attic Restoration and Cleanup
