Raccoon Removal from Attics & Chimneys

Raccoons commonly invade attics and chimneys in Connecticut, especially during early spring when they are searching for a safe place to give birth and raise their young. April is peak raccoon season, and infestations can escalate quickly.

Raccoon Damage in Attics

Raccoons are extremely strong and destructive animals. They can tear off shingles, rip open roof vents, and break into attics with ease.

Once inside, they often:

• Destroy insulation
• Chew wiring and damage ductwork
• Create nesting areas
• Contaminate attics with feces and urine

Raccoons also establish latrine areas, repeatedly using the same location. This can lead to severe contamination, structural damage, and strong odors inside the home.

Signs of Raccoons in Your Home

• Raccoons seen on roof, deck, or near the home
• Damage to shingles, vents, or soffits
• Loud thumping or walking noises at night
• Scratching sounds or baby raccoon noises
• Muddy tracks on siding or downspouts

Raccoon Trapping and Removal

Trapping and removal is the most effective way to eliminate raccoon problems. Simply sealing entry points without removing the animals can lead to serious damage—especially if a mother raccoon is separated from her young.

Our trained professionals use humane traps that are checked regularly. Traps are often covered to protect the animal and reduce stress during capture.

Raccoon Proofing & Exclusion

After removal, we seal all entry points to prevent future infestations. This includes repairing roof damage, reinforcing vents, and installing chimney caps.

Our exclusion work is backed by a warranty. If raccoons break through during the warranty period, we return and fix the issue at no cost.

Attic Cleanup & Restoration

Raccoon infestations often require extensive cleanup. Their feces can carry dangerous parasites such as raccoon roundworm.

We provide:

• Latrine cleanup and sanitation
• Removal of contaminated insulation
• Disinfection and deodorization
• Insulation replacement

Health Risks from Raccoons

Raccoons are considered a high-risk rabies vector species in Connecticut. They can also carry distemper, roundworm, and mange. Handling raccoons or contaminated materials without proper protection can be dangerous.
