Raccoon Control in Houston

Safe & Humane Raccoon Control for Houston Families

Houston's urban environment provides raccoons with easy access to food and shelter. These animals are notorious for moving into attics and crawlspaces, causing loud noises, spreading disease, and posing a serious threat to pets and property.

For nearly two decades, Preventive Pest Control has provided expert wildlife solutions. We specialize in the safe, humane removal of raccoons and identifying the source of the problem. Our trained technicians use customized plans to secure your home.

Signs of a Raccoon Problem

Raccoons are intelligent and destructive, often causing significant damage before they are even seen. Recognizing the early warning signs is key to protecting your property. If you notice any of these issues, it is time to call a professional for an inspection.

• Nocturnal Noises: Raccoons are most active at night. Listen for loud thumping, scratching, scurrying, or vocal chattering sounds coming from your attic, walls, or chimney.
• Exterior Damage: Check your roofline, soffits, and vents. Raccoons are strong and will rip open shingles, tear apart fascia boards, or bend vent covers to gain entry.
• Yard and Trash Disturbances: These animals are known for knocking over and rummaging through trash cans. They may also roll up fresh sod or dig holes in the lawn searching for grubs.
• Latrines: Raccoons repeatedly defecate in one area, creating "latrines." These are often found in attics or on roofs and pose a serious health risk from roundworm eggs.

These signs indicate an active infestation that requires a professional response. Addressing the issue quickly can prevent costly repairs and protect your family's health.

Our Raccoon Removal & Exclusion Process

At Preventive Pest Control, we use a proven, multi-step process for humane raccoon control. We don't just trap the animal; we find the source of the problem. Our expert technicians customize this plan based on a thorough inspection of your property.

• Thorough Inspection: We start by analyzing your entire property to identify all entry points, nesting sites, and the extent of the damage. Our team is trained to find the hidden vulnerabilities raccoons exploit.
• Humane Trapping & Removal: We use safe, effective, and humane methods to remove all raccoons from your home, including any young. We follow all local Houston regulations for wildlife handling.
• Exclusion & Repair: This is the most critical step. We repair the damage caused by raccoons and permanently seal all entry points with professional-grade materials to ensure they cannot get back in.
• Cleanup & Sanitization: If needed, we can address the contamination left behind, such as damaged insulation and hazardous latrines, to restore the safety of your home.

Our goal is to provide a long-term solution, not a temporary fix. We stand by our work with our 100% Service Satisfaction Guarantee for your peace of mind.

Dangers of DIY Raccoon Removal

Never attempt to handle a raccoon yourself. These animals are primary carriers of rabies, distemper, and dangerous parasites. A cornered raccoon will become aggressive to protect its young, posing a serious bite risk to you and your pets.

Simply trapping one raccoon often fails to solve the problem. There may be babies left in the attic, or the original entry point remains open. This invites new wildlife to move right in, continuing the cycle of damage and infestation.

Professionals are trained to handle wildlife humanely and in accordance with state and local laws. They also have the expertise to identify and repair structural damage, such as compromised ductwork or wiring, that DIY methods overlook, ensuring your home is truly secure.
