Raccoon Removal in Leander and Austin, TX

Timing and weight. Raccoons are mostly nocturnal, so the noise comes after dark and sounds heavy: thumping, dragging, and scratching rather than light scampering. Squirrels are daytime animals, and the first clue is usually scurrying overhead around dawn. A torn roof vent or a soffit pushed open from the outside also points to a raccoon; squirrels use smaller gaps.

Not once it has decided your attic is a den, and especially not if there is a litter. The attic offers warmth, safety from predators, and a place to raise young, which is exactly what a displaced raccoon is looking for. Removal plus exclusion is what ends it.

Yes. We use live traps and one-way doors, devices that let the raccoon leave your house but not get back in. We never use poison on wildlife.

Your choice. Some homeowners prefer to call us when they find a raccoon in the trap; others have us return on a regular schedule to check the traps ourselves. We set that up with you when we place them.

Please do not, at least not until you are certain nothing is inside. Sealing an entry point with a raccoon or a litter still in the attic traps the animal in your house, and a trapped raccoon tears its way out through whatever is closest. We seal entry points only after every animal is out.
