Raccoons are intelligent, adaptable, and strong—qualities that make them both survivors and serious nuisance animalswhen they get into human spaces. These animals are notorious for breaking into attics, chimneys, soffits, and crawlspaces, especially during the spring breeding season, when females seek safe, quiet places to raise their young. Once inside, raccoons can tear up insulation, chew wiring, damage HVAC systems, and leave behind hazardous droppings and urine.

It’s not uncommon for homeowners to unknowingly trap baby raccoons inside when trying to block entry points. This can lead to greater distress for the mother, extensive property damage, and even the death of the young animals, which causes major odor and sanitation issues. That’s why raccoon removal should always be left to a licensed professionalwith experience handling wildlife in a safe and humane manner.

Raccoons are not only destructive—they can also be a health hazard. Their feces can contain roundworm eggs, which are dangerous to humans and pets. Additionally, raccoons may carry rabies, which makes physical encounters especially risky. Once they’ve been removed, A Wildlife Pro provides thorough clean-up and decontamination services to eliminate droppings, nesting debris, and urine-soaked insulation. The affected area is fully sanitized and deodorized to ensure your home is clean and safe.
