If you have found a raccoon in your home, it's important to call a professional to remove it rather than attempting to do it yourself. There are a few reasons for this: 

• Safety: Wild animals, including raccoons, can carry a wide range of diseases; they can also act extremely aggressively when they feel threatened. Bites or scratches from a raccoon can be potentially life-threatening, so it's best to trust an experienced professional with the work. 
• Humane Service: We have the skills, experience, and equipment necessary to remove a raccoon safely and without causing harm to any humans or animals involved.
• Saves Time:   Raccoons are intelligent and good at hiding; a professional wildlife removal company can get the job done in record time so you can go back to your usual routine.
• Prevents Return:  If you simply remove the raccoon from your home, there's nothing to prevent it from returning. We take care of the whole process, from removing the pest to taking the proper measures to make sure it can't get back in. We will find and block any points of entry around your home; we know exactly what points to look for and how to properly block them.
• Repairs Damage: Sometimes raccoons can cause damage if they get into your home. We can find and help repair any damage your unwanted intruder might have caused. 
  

If a raccoon has moved into your home or onto your property, you’ll want to identify the problem quickly so you can take action as soon as possible. Raccoons are intelligent and adaptable creatures that can cause significant damage to your property if left unchecked. There are several signs that can point towards a raccoon infestation:

• Droppings: If you’re noticing raccoon droppings, also known as scat, in or near your attic, crawl space, or outdoor areas, you might have an unwanted guest on your hands. Raccoon scat is typically tubular in shape - in fact, it often looks similar to small droppings. You might notice undigested food particles such as berries or seeds.
• Tracks: Raccoon tracks are recognizable due to their resemblance to small handprints and footprints. They are characterized by five toes on both the front and hind feet. You might find these tracks in muddy or soft soil, as well as on surfaces like decks or patios.
• Entry Points: Raccoons are known to create their own entrances when trying to gain access to a space - even damaging structures in the process. Look for torn or damaged vents, screens, shingles, insulation, or other areas where raccoons may have attempted to enter.
• Garbage: Raccoons are notorious for their appetites and undiscerning tastes; they have been known to rummage through trash cans or create messes in search of food. If you notice scattered garbage around your property, disturbed debris or insulation, or evidence that something has been tampering with your trash bins, it could be a sign of raccoon activity.
• Noises: If you hear scratching, thumping, or chattering noises coming from your attic or walls, it may be a sign that a raccoon is present - especially if you hear these noises after dark. Raccoons are active primarily during the night, and their movements can be audible. Some of these noises might sound like laughter or crying; if you hear these noises, it might be a sign of baby raccoons.
