Raccoons can turn attics into den sites and damage your home. We inspect Leesburg properties, identify entry points, and check for young before removal. We then address exclusion, sealing, cleanup, and repairs to help keep raccoons from returning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT RACCOONS

  • How do raccoons get into an attic?

    Raccoons can enter through damaged soffits, loose vents, and gaps along the roofline. They may pull at weakened materials to enlarge an opening. Overhanging tree branches can give them easier access to the roof, where an attic offers a sheltered place to rest or raise young.

  • What if there are baby raccoons in my home?

    Don't seal the entry point or remove the mother without checking for young. Babies may be unable to leave on their own, and a mother separated from them may damage the home trying to get back inside. Contact A&E so the den can be inspected before removal begins.

  • How do you keep raccoons from coming back?

    Once all raccoons are out, entry points need to be sealed and damaged areas repaired. Securing trash lids and bringing pet food indoors also helps reduce return visits. Removal alone leaves the same shelter and food available for another raccoon to find.

  • Can a raccoon be released somewhere else?

    Sometimes, but Florida has specific relocation requirements. An off-site release location must be in the same county as the capture site, cover at least 40 contiguous acres, and have written permission from the landowner. Transport must also comply with any local rabies alerts or quarantine restrictions.

  • Does a daytime sighting mean a raccoon is sick?

    No. Healthy raccoons sometimes move around during daylight, particularly when food is available. A daytime sighting alone doesn't indicate illness. Give the animal space and avoid feeding or approaching it. If it appears injured or behaves abnormally, keep people and pets away and contact local animal control.

  • Do I need cleanup after raccoons are removed?

    If raccoons have left droppings or contaminated insulation, cleanup may be needed after removal. Their droppings can contain roundworm eggs, so avoid disturbing the affected area. An inspection can determine what material needs to be removed. Odor treatment alone doesn't remove droppings or address the contamination they leave behind.
