Raccoons

Raccoons can be real home wreckers. Despite their incredible cuteness, they can be very aggressive and dangerous to handle. If raccoons take up residence in your home, business, or government property, the mess they leave behind can be unspeakable. Their feces can be a cocktail of coccidia, leptospirosis and distemper, which your pets can contract. If that wasn't bad enough, the same feces also frequently contains raccoon roundworms that can attack humans in a particularly nasty manner. If even all this wasn't enough to make these mask-faced marauders troublesome, it's well known that they carry and spread rabies.

We are well-versed in many methods of removal and remediation, including eviction, trapping, and good old-fashioned hand grabbing. (Just as long as they are too young to have teeth!) After the Critter Guy has removed the raccoons, we will recommend ways to keep them sealed out and gone for good. The Critter Guy has effective nuisance wildlife removal services with a 5-year warranty. We can also take care of full-scale environmental waste removal to deal with the mess that raccoons tend to make. We will do the required clean-up, decontamination, and sanitizing work to make things right again.

If you need professional nuisance raccoon removal, exclusion, or eviction services, you should contact The Critter Guy.

Raccoons can squeeze through surprisingly tight spaces, such as this small hole in this roof.
A large amount of raccoon feces in an attic
Raccoon latrines, such as this one in an attic, often carry a large number of nasty infectious diseases. It's not a very good idea to expose yourself to them.
