Raccoons — Out and Kept Out
Humane trapping, entry-point sealing, and attic decontamination. Most jobs are wrapped in under a week.
Clever. Curious. Destructive.
Louisiana raccoons are among the smartest and strongest urban wildlife we deal with. A mother raccoon will tear through soffits, roof vents, and even shingles to make a den for her kits. Left alone, a single season can mean torn insulation, chewed wiring, and thousands of dollars in damage.
Our Approach
Locate the Den
Attic, chimney, shed, under-deck — we find it before we set traps.
Humane Trapping
Live traps with daily checks, and we use game cameras to monitor.
Seal Every Entry
Heavy-gauge steel and roofline repair. No paper patches.
Sanitize the Space
Full decon of latrine areas, contaminated insulation removed.
Warning Signs
- Heavy thumping in the attic between dusk and dawn
- Torn soffits, damaged shingles, or opened roof vents
- Chittering or growling sounds from ceilings
- Overturned trash cans and scattered debris
- Muddy paw prints on siding, decks, or window ledges
Raccoon Removal — FAQ
How do raccoons get into an attic?+
Most raccoons enter through roof-return vents, damaged soffits, chimneys without caps, and gable vents. A mother raccoon can also tear through weak shingles or fascia to den for her kits.
Do you kill raccoons?+
No. We use live traps and handle all animals per Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries guidelines. Our focus is removing the animal and sealing the entry point so it can't return.
How long does raccoon removal take?+
Most raccoon jobs are wrapped in under a week — 1–2 days for inspection and trap setup, 3–5 days for removal, then same-day sealing and sanitation.
What does raccoon damage look like?+
Torn soffits, opened roof vents, chewed wiring in the attic, damaged insulation, and latrine areas with concentrated droppings. Left alone, damage often runs into thousands of dollars.
Is raccoon poop dangerous?+
Yes. Raccoon feces can carry Baylisascaris roundworm, which is airborne once dried. We wear PPE, remove contaminated insulation, and sanitize before returning the space to use.
