Why Raccoons Are a Serious Problem
Raccoons are highly intelligent, adaptable animals that thrive in residential areas. They’re excellent climbers, skilled diggers, and strong enough to tear through soffits, vents, and roofing materials to gain access to warm, protected spaces. Once inside, raccoons can cause extensive damage in a short amount of time.
Some of the most common problems we see include:
- Torn insulation and damaged ductwork
- Broken vents, shingles, and siding
- Loud scratching, thumping, and movement at night
- Foul odors from droppings and urine
- Risk of disease transmission, including rabies and roundworm
Ignoring a raccoon problem often leads to bigger, more expensive issues down the line. The sooner professional removal is handled, the better.
Signs You May Need Raccoon Removal
Many homeowners aren’t sure what type of animal they’re dealing with at first. At Monumental Pest Control, we help identify the issue quickly so the right solution can be put in place.
Common signs of raccoon activity include:
- Heavy footsteps or dragging noises in the attic, especially at night
- Visible damage around rooflines, soffits, or vents
- Knocked-over trash cans or scattered debris
- Latrine areas (piles of droppings) on roofs or in attics
- Strong, musky odors coming from enclosed spaces
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s important to act fast before the problem escalates.
Our Safe and Humane Raccoon Removal Process
We take a responsible, humane approach to raccoon removal. Our goal is to protect your home while ensuring the animals are handled properly and in accordance with local wildlife regulations.
Our raccoon removal process typically includes:
Thorough Inspection
We start with a detailed inspection of your property to locate entry points, nesting areas, and the extent of the damage. This allows us to build a customized removal plan based on your specific situation.
Humane Trapping and Removal
Using proven, humane methods, we safely remove raccoons from your home or property. Each situation is handled with care and precision to ensure the raccoon is removed without causing additional damage to your home or putting anyone at risk.
Exclusion and Prevention
Removing the raccoon is only part of the solution. We identify and seal entry points, reinforce vulnerable areas, and recommend preventative measures to stop raccoons from returning.
Cleanup and Sanitation
Raccoons leave behind hazardous waste that can contaminate insulation and surfaces. We offer cleanup and sanitation solutions to help restore affected areas and reduce health risks.
Why DIY Raccoon Removal Is Risky
Many homeowners consider handling raccoon issues themselves, but this often leads to injuries, property damage, or recurring infestations. Raccoons can become aggressive when cornered, especially if they feel threatened or are protecting their young. They also carry parasites and diseases that can be dangerous to humans and pets.
Professional raccoon removal ensures the job is done safely, legally, and thoroughly without putting your family at risk.
