Remove Raccoons and Restore Your Home
Raccoons are intelligent, strong, and persistent invaders that often seek shelter in attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces. Once inside, they can cause significant damage by tearing apart insulation, chewing wires, and contaminating the area with urine and feces. The longer they remain, the more extensive the damage and health risk becomes. At USX Pest, we offer a comprehensive raccoon removal service that begins with a thorough inspection of your home to identify entry points, nesting sites, and the full extent of contamination.
We use humane trapping methods and one-way exclusion devices that allow raccoons to leave safely without returning. Once the animals are removed, our team repairs the damage, disinfects the affected areas, and seals off access points to prevent future entries. Our process includes odor neutralization, insulation replacement if necessary, and recommendations to eliminate outdoor attractants such as unsecured trash or open vents. Every step of our service is designed to not only solve the immediate issue, but also ensure your home is protected long term.
Property & Attic Inspection
Our technicians conduct a full inspection of your attic, roofline, soffits, and crawl space to assess where raccoons are entering, nesting, and damaging your home. We also check for waste contamination and insulation destruction.
Humane Trapping & Exclusion
We use live traps and one-way exclusion doors to remove raccoons without harm. These devices allow raccoons to exit but not re-enter. In some cases, we install deterrents to prevent new arrivals during removal.
Sanitization & Repairs
After removal, we clean and disinfect affected areas, remove raccoon feces and urine, replace damaged insulation, and seal up access points using durable exclusion materials.

Prevent Wildlife Damage and Health Hazards
Raccoons don’t just make noise in the attic — they pose a serious risk to your home’s structure and your family’s health. They can rip through ductwork, shred insulation, and leave behind hazardous waste that may harbor parasites and airborne bacteria. USX Pest eliminates the infestation and takes care of the mess, offering full-service repairs and sanitation. We also evaluate the surrounding property to advise on preventive measures and reduce the likelihood of re-infestation.
Seal Entry Points to Stop Raccoons for Good
Our exclusion work is second to none. After removal, we identify and seal all vulnerable openings that raccoons use to get inside — roof gaps, soffits, loose siding, vents, and chimneys. We reinforce these areas with chew-proof materials and provide optional warranties to give you peace of mind that raccoons won’t return.

Signs of a Raccoon Infestation
Look for these common indicators that raccoons may have invaded your attic or crawl space.
Loud Noises in the Attic
Thumping, scratching, or growling sounds at night often mean a raccoon is nesting overhead, especially during the spring breeding season.
Torn Vents or Damaged Soffits
Raccoons tear apart vent covers, soffits, or siding to gain entry. Look for claw marks, loosened shingles, and debris around entry points.
Foul Odors or Droppings
A strong musky smell or visible feces in the attic or garage is a clear sign of raccoon presence and requires immediate action.
Trash Scattered Outside
Raccoons often raid garbage bins and pet food left outside. Finding shredded bags or food scraps may indicate nighttime visits.
Footprints or Mud Trails
Raccoons leave distinctive hand-like tracks and dirty smudges along walls, siding, or floorboards as they travel between shelter and food.
Holes or Chewed Entry Points
Large holes in the eaves, soffits, or fascia boards are common entry points created by raccoons looking to den in your attic.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do raccoons get into homes?
Raccoons access homes by climbing onto roofs using trees, fences, or siding, then prying open weak points like soffits, attic vents, roof gaps, and chimneys. Their strength and dexterity allow them to tear through materials that would deter smaller animals. USX Pest thoroughly inspects your roofline, attic, and foundation to locate and seal these access points permanently.
Are raccoons dangerous to people or pets?
Yes. Raccoons can carry rabies, leptospirosis, and roundworm, and their feces often harbor dangerous pathogens. They may become aggressive if cornered, and their presence increases risks of airborne contamination and pest spread. Our humane removal techniques protect both your household and the animal, while sanitation ensures your living space is safe to reenter.
Can you clean up the mess raccoons leave behind?
Absolutely. After raccoons are removed, we handle full decontamination of nesting sites. This includes removal of feces and urine, damaged insulation, and any contaminated debris. We disinfect surfaces with EPA-approved cleaners and can replace insulation or vapor barriers if needed. Restoring sanitation is essential to avoiding future pest problems or health risks.
Will raccoons come back after being removed?
If exclusion steps are not taken, raccoons will often return to the same shelter — especially if they previously nested there. That’s why our service always includes sealing all entry points and reinforcing vulnerable areas. We also provide advice on keeping your yard free of attractants such as trash, compost, or outdoor pet food.
Is raccoon removal safe for pets and children?
Yes. Our trapping and exclusion methods are non-toxic and humane. All devices are set in secure locations and monitored frequently. After removal, our sanitation process eliminates health risks, and any recommended repairs are completed with safety in mind.
Do you offer warranties on exclusion work?
Yes. USX Pest offers service guarantees and exclusion warranties. If a raccoon breaches a sealed entry point within the warranty period, we return to re-secure the site at no additional cost. Our goal is to deliver long-term protection with accountability you can trust.
