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 Glenolden

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.

  • Attic, chimney, garage or outdoors
  • Whether there is a litter of young
  • How high the opening is
  • How much of the roof edge needs closing
