Steps to Raccoon Removal
At Wingman Pest Control, we provide comprehensive raccoon removal solutions. From thorough inspections to efficient trapping and long-term prevention, we ensure your home stays protected from these disruptive creatures. Let us help you reclaim your space safely and effectively.
Step 1: Thorough Inspection
The first step in our raccoon removal process is a thorough inspection of your property. Our trained technicians will carefully evaluate both the exterior and interior of your home. Raccoons are known for their dexterity and can often rip through roofs, vents, soffits, chimneys, and siding. During the inspection we check for damage on the structure, droppings, and nesting material, which helps us determine how raccoons entered your home and where they’re staying . This thorough approach ensures we gather all the information needed to stop the infestation at its source.
Once the inspection is complete, we’ll walk you through our findings and explain how we plan to proceed with the next steps of removal. If any damage is discovered, we’ll outline the repairs needed to prevent further and future access.
Step 2: Positive-Set Trapping
After identifying the entry points, we implement our “Positive-Set Trapping” method. This technique involves setting traps directly over the raccoons’ entryways. Step 2 and Step 3 (sealing/exclusion) are usually done in conjunction with one another. This is to prevent raccoons from entering the structure in secondary locations during the trapping process. This ensures that the only way in or out of your home is through our traps, and the raccoons are captured effectively.
We utilize traps designed specifically for raccoon removal. We have a variety of trap styles that allow us to trap raccoons in any unique situation. Our trapping system is designed for optimal efficiency, and we take extra care to ensure traps are positioned in the best possible locations for success. These traps are monitored daily either by wireless camera or in person.
Step 3: Sealing Entry Points
The final step in the raccoon removal process is securing your home and preventing future infestations. Again, this work is usually performed in conjunction with the trapping service. It is crucial to address all entry points and potential re-entry points. Raccoons are persistent and will look for any available way to get back inside. That’s why we take the time to thoroughly seal all access points with durable, high-quality materials.
We use top-of-the-line sealing methods to ensure that every hole, gap, or compromised area is securely closed off. Special attention is given to spots that raccoons might exploit. This includes reinforcing rooflines, guarding off compromised vents, installing chimney caps, and repairing damaged soffits. For areas that are more vulnerable, we apply custom metal patches for extra protection. This step is essential in ensuring that raccoons cannot return and re-establish themselves in your attic or walls. By securing all areas of concern , we help prevent any future infestations, giving you peace of mind that your home is safe from future raccoon activity.

FAQ'S
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Dealing with a raccoon problem can be frustrating, but we’re here to help. From how raccoons get into your home to the steps we take to remove and prevent them, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and confident about keeping your property raccoon-free.
Signs of a raccoon infestation include loud scratching or thumping noises at night, torn insulation, droppings, damaged vents, and strong urine odors. If you notice these, raccoons may have made their way into your attic or crawl space.
Raccoons commonly enter homes through roof vents, soffits, chimneys, and other weak points. They are strong and persistent, often prying open or chewing through materials to create an entry point.
Raccoons are drawn to homes with accessible food sources such as garbage, pet food, bird feeders, and compost piles. They also seek out warm, dry spaces like attics for nesting and raising their young.
Raccoons can pose serious health risks as they carry diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, and raccoon roundworm. They can also be aggressive if they feel threatened and may cause structural damage by chewing wires and tearing apart insulation.
Simply removing a raccoon without sealing entry points won’t stop the problem—new raccoons can move in. That’s why proper exclusion is critical. We ensure all access points are identified and sealed to keep them from coming back.
If you see a raccoon on your property, avoid approaching or attempting to remove it yourself. Raccoons can become defensive, especially if they feel trapped or if babies are nearby. A professional can safely assess the situation and handle the removal.
During certain seasons, raccoons give birth in attics or crawl spaces. If baby raccoons are present, we use safe techniques to safely remove and reunite them with their mother outside before securing the entry points.
Our raccoon removal process includes a detailed inspection, humane removal methods, and an exclusion plan to ensure your home is fully protected. We use professional-grade one-way doors, live trapping if necessary, and high-quality sealing materials to prevent re-entry.
The cost of raccoon removal depends on factors like the severity of the infestation and the repairs needed to secure the home. We provide an upfront inspection with a clear breakdown of costs before starting any work.
Preventing raccoons from returning involves securing trash bins, removing outdoor food sources, trimming tree branches near the roof, and reinforcing weak points like attic vents and chimneys. Our exclusion services ensure your home remains raccoon-free long-term.
