Raccoon Removal | Integrated Wildlife Management Inc
We provide humane raccoon removal, thorough inspections, and long-term exclusion to protect your home from damage, contamination, and repeat raccoon intrusions.
Humane Raccoon Removal That Protects Your Home and Peace of Mind
At Integrated Wildlife Management Inc., we deliver raccoon removal services built around safety, precision, and long-term prevention. Raccoons are clever, adaptable animals that can turn attics, crawl spaces, and rooflines into nesting zones if they find an opening. We start with a detailed inspection to confirm activity, identify entry routes, and evaluate any damage or contamination. From there, we use humane trapping and regulated relocation to remove raccoons efficiently without unnecessary harm.
Once the animals are gone, we seal vulnerabilities with durable exclusion materials so your home stays protected. Our approach solves the immediate issue and helps prevent future encounters, giving you lasting confidence in a raccoon-free property.
Identifying Raccoon Presence and Early Warning Signs
Common signs include loud thumping or scratching at night, overturned trash cans, and scattered food waste around outdoor containers. Inside the structure, raccoons often tear insulation, rip ductwork, or pull apart stored materials as they build dens. You may also notice droppings near attic access points, roof edges, chimneys, or along deck lines, as well as a strong musky odor that lingers in enclosed spaces.
During inspections, we look for tracks, smudge marks, and disturbed entry zones such as loose shingles, broken vents, gaps in soffits, or openings around rooflines. These clues help us confirm where raccoons are entering and how long they’ve been active. The sooner these signs are addressed, the easier it is to prevent widespread structural and sanitation issues.

Our Humane Raccoon Removal Process
We begin with a full-property assessment to locate den sites, map travel paths, and identify every access point raccoons are using. After confirming activity, we set humane, professional-grade traps in strategic areas to remove raccoons efficiently while minimizing stress.
Once captured, raccoons are handled in accordance with local wildlife regulations and relocated to appropriate habitats. We then return to secure the structure by closing off all confirmed entry points and reinforcing weak zones. This step is essential because raccoons will often try to return to familiar nesting sites if those openings remain accessible.
Preventing Future Raccoon Intrusions
After removal, we seal openings in attics, vents, soffits, chimneys, crawl spaces, and roofline gaps using chew-resistant materials and reinforced barriers. We also inspect nearby access routes, such as tree branches that overhang the roof or fences that allow easy climbing.
To keep raccoons from being drawn back to your property, we recommend securing garbage in tight-lid containers, removing outdoor pet food, cleaning up fallen fruit, and keeping compost properly contained. Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also disrupt nighttime routines and discourage repeat visits. When exclusion and attractant control work together, your home becomes a far less appealing target.
Health and Safety Risks Linked to Raccoons
They can carry serious diseases and parasites that threaten both people and pets. Rabies is one of the primary concerns tied to raccoon contact, and contaminated droppings may carry raccoon roundworm, which can cause severe illness if eggs are accidentally ingested. Their urine and feces can also spread bacteria and degrade indoor air quality, especially in attic and crawl space environments.
Beyond health risks, raccoons are strong and destructive. They can rip open roof edges, bend vent covers, and damage insulation and wiring, leading to costly repairs and potential fire hazards. Addressing raccoon activity quickly helps protect your household and preserve your property’s structural integrity.
