Raccoon Removal for California homes and businesses

If you are searching for raccoon removal in California, you are probably already fairly sure what you have. Our job is to confirm it, find every way in, and price the whole thing flat. Raccoons in the attic, chimney or under the deck, with the entry point sealed so they cannot return.

If you are buying or selling in California, a wildlife and pest inspection before closing is far cheaper than discovering contaminated attic insulation afterwards. We document findings with photographs you can hand to any party.

California ranges from roof rats and skunks in coastal suburbs to ground squirrels and rattlesnakes inland, with bat colonies common in older tile and Spanish-style roofs.

Call (276) 319-2391 or request an inspection and we will book a window that works.

Signs to look for in California

  • Heavy thumping or dragging overhead after dark
  • Chittering or a female's growl from the chimney
  • Torn soffit, lifted shingles or a hole at a roof return
  • Trash cans repeatedly worked open
  • Latrine piles of droppings in the attic or on the roof
  • Damaged insulation compressed into runways

What the California service covers

  • Attic raccoon removal and family relocation
  • Chimney raccoon and kit removal
  • Under-deck and under-shed den removal
  • Roof return, soffit and vent entry sealing
  • Chimney cap and damper repair
  • Attic latrine cleanup and insulation replacement
  • Damaged ductwork and wiring assessment
  • Return-visit monitoring after release

What affects the price

  • Whether kits are present, which changes the whole approach
  • How many entry points the roof line has
  • Attic contamination and insulation damage
  • Chimney height and access

Whatever the answer, you get one flat number in writing after the inspection. It does not grow once the attic hatch is open.

How it runs

    We survey the roof line, foundation and crawl space, photograph every entry point, and give you one fixed number in writing. Nothing starts until you approve it.

  3. Remove, seal, clean

    The animal comes out humanely, every entry point is sealed under warranty, and contamination is cleaned up. You get before and after photographs.

Raccoon Removal in California: frequently asked questions

Can you remove raccoons humanely in California?
Yes. Adults are live captured or excluded with a one-way door, and if kits are present they are removed by hand and reunited with the mother outside. Sealing the entry point comes immediately after.
How do I know it is a raccoon and not a squirrel?
Raccoons are heavy and nocturnal, so you hear thumping and dragging after dark. Squirrels are light and active in daylight. If the noise wakes you at 2am, it is almost certainly a raccoon.
What does raccoon removal cost in California?
It depends mostly on whether kits are present and how many entry points the roof line has. You get one flat number in writing after the inspection, before any work starts.
Do I need attic cleanup after raccoons?
Usually yes. Raccoons use a latrine area repeatedly and the contamination does not clear on its own. We quote the cleanup separately so you can see exactly what it covers.
How long does the whole job take in California?
Removal is typically a few days including monitoring. Sealing is done as soon as we confirm everything is out. Attic restoration, if needed, is scheduled after that.
Will they come back?
Not through a point we have sealed, and that sealing is warrantied. Raccoons are persistent, which is exactly why removal without exclusion fails so often.
There is an animal inside my house right now. What do I do?
Close interior doors to confine it to one room, open an exterior door or window in that room if you safely can, and keep people and pets away. Do not try to corner or handle it. Call (276) 319-2391 and we will talk you through it.
Is the exclusion work warrantied in California?
Yes. The points we seal carry a written warranty. If something gets back in through one of them, we return and put it right.
