Our Comprehensive Raccoon Removal Process
Our raccoon removal service is thorough and designed to address all aspects of the problem, from identification to prevention. We take a multifaceted approach to ensure the complete removal of raccoons from your property along with preventing future recurrences. We handle other pests as well, from standard ant control to termite treatments.
Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to identify raccoon entry points, nesting sites, and the extent of the infestation. This assessment allows us to develop a targeted removal plan. We also are careful to identify damage and potential risks associated with the raccoon presence.
Humane Trapping and Removal
Using humane trapping techniques, we safely capture and remove raccoons from your property. Our methods prioritize the well-being of the animals while effectively addressing the infestation. In certain cases we can also utilize deterrents.
Sealing Entry Points
Once the raccoons are removed, we seal all entry points to prevent future infestations. This includes repairing damaged areas and reinforcing vulnerable spots. We will take measures to make sure they can not come back in, ever again!
Cleaning and Sanitization
We thoroughly clean and sanitize the affected areas to remove raccoon waste and eliminate potential health hazards. This step is crucial to preventing the spread of diseases and odors. We take special steps to ensure the remediation is properly undertaken and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
Common Problems Caused by Raccoons
Raccoons, while sometimes appearing cute, can cause a myriad of problems for homeowners and businesses in Washington, D.C. Understanding these issues can help you recognize when professional intervention is necessary. We are one of the top providers in the area and stand by our work!
Damage to Property
Raccoons are notorious for causing damage to property, including tearing shingles, damaging gardens, and ripping open trash bags. Their strong claws and curious nature lead them to explore and destroy various parts of your home or business. They will stop at nothing!
Contamination and Health Risks
Raccoon droppings and urine can contaminate surfaces and pose serious health risks. They can carry diseases such as rabies and leptospirosis, which can be transmitted to humans and pets. Because of this, we always wear a mask!
Nocturnal Disturbances
Raccoons are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night. Their scurrying, scratching, and vocalizations can disrupt your sleep and create an unsettling environment. You're trying to rest! Why will they let you?
Attic and Chimney Infestations
Raccoons often seek shelter in attics and chimneys, where they can build nests and cause significant structural damage. Removing them from these areas requires specialized techniques and equipment. We are always prepared!
Transmission of Parasites
Raccoons can carry parasites such as fleas, ticks, and worms, which can infest your property and affect your pets and family. Eliminating these parasites is an essential part of the removal process. We can discuss the ramifications of this further.
Signs You Need Professional Raccoon Removal
Recognizing the signs of a raccoon infestation early can help you prevent extensive damage and health risks. Here are some indicators that you may need our professional raccoon removal services.
Unusual Noises in the Attic or Walls
Hearing scratching, scampering, or vocalizations from your attic or walls, especially at night, is a common sign of raccoon activity. These noises indicate that raccoons have likely taken up residence in your home. You need to act quickly!
Damaged Trash Cans and Scattered Debris
Finding your trash cans tipped over and the contents scattered around your yard is a telltale sign of raccoon foraging. Raccoons are adept at opening trash cans in search of food scraps. So don't tempt them!
Visible Droppings or Urine
Discovering raccoon droppings or urine near your home or in your attic is a clear indication of an infestation. These waste products can pose health risks and should be professionally cleaned to prevent disease transmission. We will get right on it!
Damaged Roofing or Siding
Raccoons can damage roofing or siding while trying to gain access to your home. Look for torn shingles, damaged vents, or other signs of forced entry. The longer the damage exists the further entry becomes. And the worse the costs!
Unexplained Pet Behavior
If your pets are acting strangely, such as barking or scratching at walls or ceilings, it could be a sign that raccoons are present. Pets can often sense the presence of raccoons before humans do. If you see something, say something!
Why Act Now?
Don't wait until a raccoon infestation causes significant damage or poses a health risk to your family. Timely intervention is crucial to preventing further problems and ensuring the safety of your property. The damage they can cause only increases with time.
