Raccoon Removal in NYC, Long Island & Westchester.
Raccoons are what we are named after. Thumping in the ceiling at night, a torn soffit, or a family in the chimney: we get them out humanely and make sure they cannot get back in.
Signs you have raccoons.
- Thumping, walking, or chattering in the attic or walls, mostly at night
- A torn soffit, lifted roof shingles, or a bent vent cover
- Knocked-over garbage and droppings in one spot (a latrine)
- In spring, high-pitched crying from the ceiling: a mother with kits
Why people call us
- The company is named after the animal: raccoons are a big part of what we do every week
- LTE cameras on every trap
- One-year warranty on exclusion, with wildlife protection plans after that
How we handle it.
Inspect
We find where they are living and every way in, using visual, thermal, and video inspection.
Remove humanely
Live cage traps and one-way doors. LTE cameras watch every trap, so no animal sits in a trap waiting.
Kits go with their mother
In kit season we find the babies and reunite them with their mother so the family leaves together.
Seal it up
Exclusion: we close the entry hole and other weak spots so raccoons cannot come back. Our exclusion work comes with a one-year warranty.
What customers said.
★★★★★
“Robert helped retrieve a raccoon who had entered my boat in the driveway under its winter tarp. What I thought was just one raccoon turned into a whole family. She had found her way into some tricky compartments with her four babies. Robert was able to quickly get to work and humanely remove her from within the hull.”
★★★★★
“So fast, accommodating, and professional. I had a raccoon die under my deck that they removed. Had to takeoff a few floor boards, but left everything in order, clean and sanitized. Johnny did an amazing job!”
★★★★★
“Robert trapped and rescued a momma raccoon and her 7 babies from my inaccessible attic. I can’t say enough about the service.”
Questions, answered.
Is the removal humane?
Yes. We use live cage traps and one-way doors, LTE cameras watch the traps, and kits are reunited with their mother.
Will they come back?
Not through the holes we seal. That is why every removal ends with exclusion, and our exclusion work comes with a one-year warranty.
How fast can you come?
We usually come the same day or the next. Call 1-800-RACCOON and a real person picks up.
