Local knowledge

Raccoons in Folcroft

Next to the wildlife refuge

Folcroft sits beside the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge and Darby Creek, so raccoons are never far away.

More than 1,000 acres

The refuge is more than 1,000 acres of marsh and woods, and the Folcroft homes on its edge see raccoons, foxes and groundhogs.

What to look for

Signs it is a raccoon

Heavy thumping or walking in the ceiling after dark
Chattering, purring or crying in the chimney or the attic in spring
A soffit panel, roof vent or shingles pulled loose at the roof edge
Trash cans tipped over and bags torn open
A pile of droppings in one spot on the roof, the deck or the attic floor

Before we arrive

Until we get there

Do not block the hole. If young are inside, the mother will tear a new way in to reach them.
Do not light a fire if you hear animals in the chimney.
Keep pets in and away from the animal, and do not try to catch it yourself.
Keep trash in cans with locking lids until the job is done.

Raccoon removal in Folcroft

How the job goes

1 · Find the den

We find where the raccoons sleep and the opening they use to come and go.

2 · Look for young

From March to July we check for young before anything else, so none are left behind.

3 · Take them out

We trap the adults, take out the young by hand and make sure the space is empty.

4 · Seal and repair

We close the opening with steel mesh or sheet metal and tell you about any other damage we found.

Price

What changes the price

We tell you the price of the first visit on the phone before we come out. It depends on your ZIP code. Each return visit to check a trap has its own price, and we tell you that on the phone too.
