Raccoon Removal Done Right: Protect Your Home with Expert Wildlife Control

Raccoons may look cute from a distance, but when they invade your home or property, they become a serious problem. Known for their strength, intelligence, and persistence, raccoons can cause extensive damage to attics, roofs, chimneys, and crawl spaces—and they’re not afraid to make themselves at home. If you’ve noticed signs of raccoon activity, don’t wait—call in the pros at Bay Area Wildlife Solutions for humane and effective raccoon removal services.

Why Raccoons Are a Serious Pest Control Concern

Raccoons are nocturnal animals, often active at night as they search for food and shelter. They’re strong enough to tear through shingles, rip off vent covers, and claw their way into attics or soffits. Once inside, they’ll build nests, damage insulation, and leave behind droppings that can pose health risks.

Here’s why you need professional raccoon removal:

  • Structural Damage: Raccoons can tear up ducts, insulation, and wood structures in attics and crawl spaces.
  • Disease Risk: They carry dangerous diseases like rabies, leptospirosis, and raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris).
  • Aggressive Behavior: A cornered raccoon—especially a mother protecting her young—can become aggressive.

Signs of a Raccoon Infestation

If you’re hearing noises at night or seeing signs of damage, you might have raccoons. Here are common indicators:

  • Loud thumping or growling sounds at night from the attic or roof
  • Torn roof shingles or vent covers
  • Strong ammonia-like odor from raccoon droppings or urine
  • Trash cans tipped over or food scattered near your property
  • Visible raccoon tracks with five toes, similar to small human hands

Our Humane Raccoon Removal Process

At Bay Area Wildlife Solutions, we provide exceptional raccoon control services using safe, humane methods that comply with local wildlife laws.

1. Full Property Inspection

We start by inspecting your home, attic, roofline, and crawl spaces to identify raccoon activity, entry points, and potential nesting areas.

2. Humane Raccoon Removal

We use live traps and exclusion techniques to safely remove raccoons from your home or business. Our team ensures that any kits (baby raccoons) are removed and relocated properly.

3. Exclusion & Repairs

Once the raccoons are removed, we seal up all entry points and reinforce vulnerable areas to prevent future break-ins. We also offer repairs for damage caused by raccoons.

4. Sanitation and Cleanup

Raccoons leave behind waste that can carry harmful pathogens. Our team safely removes droppings, sanitizes the area, and ensures your space is clean and safe again.

Why Choose Professional Raccoon Control?

Trying to remove raccoons on your own is risky and often ineffective. They’re stronger and smarter than many homeowners realize, and DIY traps can cause more harm than good.

By working with a professional wildlife removal company, you’ll get:

  • Guaranteed removal and exclusion
  • Safe and humane practices
  • Long-term prevention solutions
  • Licensed and experienced technicians

Bay Area Wildlife Solutions is the trusted name in raccoon removal and pest control across Delaware and the surrounding region.
