Raccoon Removal
We safely and humanely remove raccoons from attics, chimneys, crawl spaces, and yards. We also seal entry points to prevent re-entry.
We safely and humanely remove raccoons from attics, chimneys, crawl spaces, and yards. We also seal entry points to prevent re-entry.
Licensed technicians inspect the property, humanely remove raccoons, and seal attics, chimneys, crawl spaces, and other entry points so they cannot return.
Signs you have a raccoon problem
Wildlife problems rarely fix themselves, and they often get more costly to deal with the longer they continue. If you notice any of the signs below, it is worth having your property looked at early.
- Heavy thumping, chattering or dragging sounds in the attic or chimney.
- Torn shingles, damaged vents or pulled-up soffits and fascia.
- Overturned trash cans and torn bags, often in the same spot.
- Droppings in latrine areas on the roof, deck or in the attic.
- Stained, flattened insulation and a strong odor from the attic.
How we remove raccoons
- Inspection: we inspect the attic, chimney, roof and crawl spaces to find how the raccoons got in and where they are nesting.
- Humane removal: we remove raccoons humanely and use one-way exclusion devices where appropriate, taking care with any young.
- Sealing and repairs: we seal entry points and repair damage, with odor and dead-animal cleanup where it applies.
- Follow-up: we check back to make sure nothing has returned and the repairs are intact.
Our process follows the same careful, humane approach on every job and is adjusted to the animal and your property. We explain each step as we go, so you always know what is being done and why.
What to expect
Every job starts with a free quote. If an animal is in your home right now, call us any time: we offer 24/7 emergency response at (231) 903-7255. The owner has operated Advanced Wildlife Control since 2008 and explains the plan before work begins.
Raccoons are common in Muskegon and across West Michigan, and we will explain what we find in your home before we begin.
When you call, we listen to what you are seeing or hearing and ask about your property. We then arrange an inspection and give you a free quote, so you know the plan before any work starts. If you are not sure whether you have a raccoon problem, call anyway and we will help you work out what is going on and what to do next.
Frequently asked questions
Can I just scare the raccoon away?
That rarely works for long. Without sealing the entry point, raccoons or other animals often come back.
What if there are babies in the attic?
Please do not try to handle them. Call us and we will take care to remove the whole family humanely.
Do raccoons damage a home?
They can tear roofing and vents and soil insulation, so repairs and cleanup are often part of the solution.
How much does wildlife removal cost?
Pricing varies quite a bit with the animal, the structure and the work needed. It is easiest to explain by phone, so call (231) 903-7255 for a free quote.
