Raccoons are highly intelligent and adaptable animals, but when they invade attics, crawl spaces, or garages, they can cause significant property damage and pose health risks to your family. Our experienced wildlife control team specializes in the humane removal of raccoons, using proven techniques to safely capture and relocate these animals. We also identify and secure entry points, repair any structural damage, and provide thorough sanitation services to eliminate droppings and potential contaminants, ensuring your home remains safe and raccoon-free.
Effectively removing raccoons from your property requires a combination of humane trapping, exclusion, and habitat modification. Professional wildlife technicians begin by conducting a thorough inspection to locate entry points and determine the extent of the infestation. Using safe and legal live traps, raccoons are carefully captured and relocated, while all access points are securely sealed to prevent future intrusions. Additional steps such as removing food sources, securing trash bins, and cleaning up droppings help discourage raccoons from returning and restore a safe, healthy environment for your home or business.
Live trapping is a humane and effective method for removing raccoons from your property. Specialized cages or box traps are baited with appealing foods such as marshmallows, canned fish, or cat food and placed in areas with frequent raccoon activity. It’s important to set traps properly to avoid capturing non-target animals and to check them frequently to minimize stress for the captured raccoon. Once trapped, the raccoon should be handled carefully and released according to local wildlife regulations—often at least several miles away in a suitable habitat. Live trapping is best performed by licensed wildlife control professionals, who can ensure humane treatment, legal compliance, and thorough removal, especially if baby raccoons are present.
Raccoon repellents are designed to create an unpleasant environment that discourages raccoons from nesting or returning to a specific area. Commercial repellents often use strong scents or tastes, such as predator urine, garlic oil, or capsaicin (hot pepper), which raccoons find offensive. Granular or liquid repellents can be applied around entry points, gardens, or trash storage areas. Homemade options, like ammonia-soaked rags or vinegar sprays, may also be used in enclosed spaces such as attics or crawl spaces. It’s important to reapply repellents regularly, especially after rain, for continued effectiveness. While repellents may offer temporary relief, they are best used in combination with other exclusion and prevention methods for lasting results.
Noise and light deterrents use raccoons’ sensitivity to sudden or unfamiliar stimuli to drive them away from unwanted areas. Motion-activated lights can startle raccoons and make nesting sites less attractive, especially in dark spaces like attics or under decks. Similarly, devices such as motion-activated radios, ultrasonic repellents, or alarms produce sounds that disrupt raccoon activity and encourage them to relocate. For persistent raccoons, combining flashing lights with irregular loud noises—like banging pans or playing a radio on a talk station—can make an area inhospitable. However, raccoons are intelligent and may eventually adapt to constant stimuli, so these deterrents are most effective when used temporarily and alongside other removal strategies.

I was looking for pest control after another company failed to come out. I came across Rock Pest Control & seen that they had 5 star reviews across the board all the way back to 2 years. I haven’t even used them yet as I was to get my first service call next week. I received a text message this evening from Matt saying there was a cancellation & they will be by sooner! When I tell you the customer service is top notch you’ll have to get the service to believe it for yourself!! SUPER pleased I went with this company!! **UPDATE** I highly recommend this pest service company!! I recently move to Missouri from FL, but my husband was here already at our new home. Let me tell you this pest control company is amazing!! My card for one changed & they called & I got that situated. Two I told them I was now in town when before they knew I was out of town. I’m beyond amazing by this company! They are very detailed in their work. I never have to call them & they’re always on time when they say they’re going to be here. If not, they’re calling you immediately letting you know that they’re running “X” minutes behind. Yet I haven’t experienced that as of yet. Trust me you WON’T be disappointed!!

We had a rental house that we found to be literally full of fleas after the tenants moved out. It was so bad that we couldn’t do any of the work that needed to be done. These guys came out promptly, treated the inside and outside and solved our flea problem. I thought the price was very reasonable too.
