Raccoons may look cute, but they can cause serious property damage, health risks, and safety concerns when they invade your home. Whether they’re tearing through your attic, rummaging through your garbage, or nesting in crawl spaces, raccoons need to be removed quickly and safely.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we specialize in professional raccoon removal and exclusion services, ensuring your home stays protected while handling raccoons humanely.
Raccoons are nocturnal and often go unnoticed until they’ve caused significant damage. Here are the most common signs of a raccoon infestation:
✔ Loud Noises at Night – Scratching, thumping, or chattering sounds, especially in attics, crawl spaces, or walls.
✔ Damage to Your Roof or Siding – Raccoons rip apart shingles, soffits, vents, and siding to create entry points.
✔ Trash Cans or Pet Food Disturbed – Raccoons are notorious for rummaging through garbage and stealing pet food.
✔ Droppings or Strong Odors – Raccoon feces and urine can carry harmful bacteria and parasites.
✔ Tracks or Smudges – Greasy paw prints or dirt smudges around your home’s exterior.
If you’re seeing these signs, it’s time to act fast before the damage gets worse!
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we use safe, humane, and effective methods to remove raccoons and prevent them from coming back.

Yes. Raccoons can carry rabies, leptospirosis, and parasites that pose serious health risks to humans and pets. They can also be aggressive if cornered or protecting their young.
Raccoons are strong climbers and can enter through loose roof shingles, vents, chimneys, or damaged soffits. They may also widen existing holes to gain access.
Raccoons can tear apart insulation, chew through wiring (creating fire hazards), damage vents, and leave behind toxic waste that requires professional cleaning.
DIY raccoon removal is risky and often illegal in many areas due to wildlife protection laws. Professional removal ensures safe, humane, and legal handling of raccoons.
If entry points remain open, new raccoons may move in. That’s why we seal all openings and provide long-term prevention solutions.
While raccoons are nocturnal, some may be active during the day, especially if they’re searching for food. However, if a raccoon appears disoriented, aggressive, or sick, avoid it and call a professional immediately.
Raccoons can cause serious damage and health risks if left unchecked. Contact True Guard Pest & Wildlife today for safe, effective, and humane raccoon removal services.
