Local knowledge
Raccoons in Upper Darby
Along Cobbs Creek
Cobbs Creek runs along the township's eastern edge, next to West Philadelphia. Homes near it see more raccoons.
Connected roofs
In Highland Park, Stonehurst, Bywood and the streets around 69th Street, the roofs connect, so a raccoon can cross from house to house. We trace where it actually gets in.
The whole township
We cover all of Upper Darby Township, Drexel Hill included.
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.

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
Questions people ask
Questions about raccoons in Upper Darby
I hear it in the wall, not the attic. Is it a raccoon?
It can be. On connected rooflines, a noise in your wall can come from an animal that got in somewhere else. Heavy thumping after dark points to a raccoon. Light, quick running in the morning points to a squirrel.
