Humane Raccoon Removal & Control
Raccoons may look cute with their signature black “mask” and ringed tails, but when they invade your home or attic, they can quickly become a serious problem. At Soundview Wildlife Control, we provide professional, humane raccoon removal and exclusion services across Connecticut to keep your property safe and raccoon-free.
Understanding Raccoons
Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are intelligent, highly adaptable mammals native to North America. They are omnivores, feeding on fruits, nuts, insects, and small animals, and they thrive in both wild and urban environments. Their dexterous paws allow them to open containers, unlatch doors, and even climb into attics and crawl spaces in search of warmth and food.
Though fascinating in nature, raccoons are considered nuisance wildlife when they enter homes, garages, or sheds, where they can cause extensive structural and sanitation issues.
Signs You Have a Raccoon Problem
- Scratching, thumping, or scurrying noises at night
- Torn insulation, soffits, or shingles
- Damaged vents, ducts, or attic access points
- Foul odors from droppings or urine
- Tipped-over trash cans or scattered debris around your property
How Raccoons Can Damage Your Property
Raccoons are known for their strength and persistence when seeking shelter. Once inside your attic or walls, they can:
- Tear apart insulation, flooring, or ductwork
- Gnaw on wood and electrical wires, creating potential fire hazards
- Damage roofing, soffits, and vents during entry
- Leave droppings that may contain parasites and bacteria harmful to humans and pets
Beyond physical damage, raccoons can carry diseases such as raccoon roundworm, leptospirosis, and rabies, posing serious health risks if not handled properly.
