We do more than just handle rodents
When most people think of pest control, they picture ants, termites, or mice. But raccoon removal in Broward County is one of the most common wildlife calls we get — and it’s one we handle with real care. Just this week, one of our technicians safely caught a baby raccoon that had wandered into a residential neighborhood. Instead of leaving the animal in harm’s way, we made sure it was handled gently and relocated to a safe environment — either returned to proper habitat in the wild or taken to a licensed wildlife sanctuary where trained experts could care for it.
Signs you may need raccoon removal
Raccoons are clever, curious, and surprisingly strong. As South Florida neighborhoods keep expanding into natural areas, these animals lose habitat and start looking for food and shelter closer to people. Unfortunately, that often means your attic, garage, or shed. Once a raccoon settles in, it can tear insulation, chew wiring, and contaminate the space with droppings. A mother raccoon will even den indoors to raise her young — which is exactly how that baby raccoon ended up where it didn’t belong.
Here are a few signs it may be time to call for professional help:
- Scratching, thumping, or chirping sounds in the attic, especially after dark
- Trash cans that are repeatedly knocked over or torn open
- Droppings near entry points, fences, or along the roofline
- Damaged soffits, vents, or shingles where an animal forced its way in
- Daytime raccoon sightings near your home, which can signal a nearby den
How our humane raccoon removal works
We believe protecting your property and respecting wildlife can go hand in hand. Our process starts with a full inspection to find every entry point and to confirm whether young are present. From there, we remove the animals safely and never harm them in the process. Finally, we seal and repair the openings so the problem doesn’t simply return a few weeks later.
Because raccoons are part of Florida’s ecosystem, we follow humane, responsible methods on every job. When relocation is the right call, animals go to suitable habitat or a licensed sanctuary. When prevention is the goal, we focus on exclusion work that keeps wildlife out for good. You can also read the state’s guidance on living with these animals from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
