Frequently Asked Questions
-
The timeline varies based on your specific situation, but most raccoon removals take between three to ten days. We install one-way exclusion devices that allow animals to exit naturally without re-entry, which typically requires 48 to 72 hours for the raccoons to leave. If we’re dealing with a mother and babies during spring birthing season, the process may extend slightly longer to ensure the young are mobile enough to leave with the mother. After confirming all animals have vacated, we immediately seal entry points and complete exclusion work, which usually takes one to two days depending on the number of access areas identified during inspection.
-
A thorough raccoon removal begins with a detailed property inspection where our licensed biologists locate active denning sites, identify all entry points, and assess the extent of damage. We then install humane one-way exclusion devices or live traps at access areas, allowing animals to leave safely without separating families. Once we confirm the structure is clear, we permanently seal all vulnerable points using durable materials like reinforced steel mesh, weather-resistant screening, and professional-grade sealants. The service includes documentation of all work performed, recommended repairs for any structural damage, and preventive measures tailored to your property to stop future wildlife intrusions.
-
Pricing depends on several factors including the number of animals present, accessibility of denning areas, and the extent of exclusion work required. A standard residential raccoon removal with basic exclusion typically ranges from several hundred to over a thousand dollars. Properties with multiple entry points, difficult-to-access areas like high rooflines or chimneys, or extensive structural vulnerabilities will require more materials and labor, affecting the total investment. We provide transparent cost estimates after completing the initial inspection so you understand exactly what work is needed before we begin. Our affordable service tiers allow you to choose solutions that fit your budget while still delivering effective, lasting results.
-
No, you do not need to vacate your home during raccoon removal. Our humane exclusion methods work passively once installed, allowing you to maintain your normal routine while the animals exit naturally. During the initial inspection and installation of exclusion devices, our biologists work primarily in exterior areas and attic spaces, minimizing disruption to your daily activities. If we need interior access to reach specific entry points or assess damage, we coordinate timing with your schedule and complete that work efficiently. The exclusion and sealing phase also occurs mostly on the exterior of your structure, so you can remain comfortable in your living spaces throughout the entire process.
-
Our exclusion services are designed to prevent future invasions by permanently sealing all identified entry points with durable, wildlife-resistant materials. When installed correctly using reinforced barriers and professional-grade sealants, these exclusions withstand persistent animal activity and Pennsylvania’s seasonal weather conditions. If raccoons do attempt to return, they will find no access routes into your structure. In the unlikely event that animals discover a new vulnerability we didn’t identify during the initial assessment, contact us immediately for a follow-up inspection. We stand behind our work and will evaluate any new animal activity to determine if additional exclusion measures are needed to fully protect your property.
