Dealing With Raccoon Activity

Rock Pest Control focuses on raccoon activity where it actually affects the home—at the roofline and inside the structure. Once inside, raccoons push into attic spaces and keep moving through the same openings until those areas are properly sealed. Our team removes the animals as safely as possible and reinforces those access points so the problem doesn’t come back.

Signs We Look For:

Loud Thumping
Roof Damage
Strong Odors
Droppings
Night Activity

How We Handle Raccoons

01

Inspect Entry Points

Our team checks rooflines, soffits, vents, crawl spaces, and other openings to confirm how raccoons are getting inside.
02

Confirm Nesting Activity

We identify the animal, check for babies, and assess nesting areas, contamination, and structural damage before moving forward.
03

Camera Confirmation

Cameras help confirm activity and verify results, which cuts down on guesswork and unnecessary trips.
04

Remove the Raccoons

Depending on the situation, our team uses one-way doors, traps, or eviction methods that fit the raccoon activity and season.
05

Seal & Reinforce

After removal, we seal entry points and reinforce weak areas so raccoons cannot work back into the structure.
06

Verify the Result

Cameras and follow-up checks help confirm the activity is gone and the exclusion work is holding the way it should.

Roofline Wear Over Time

Raccoons take advantage of weak spots that develop gradually. Damage doesn’t need to be obvious—small failures in vents or soffits are often enough to invite activity.

Easy Access From Above

Raccoons don’t climb randomly. When trees or structures give them a clear path, they use it repeatedly to reach the same vulnerable areas.

Consistent Food Sources

When food is easy to find, raccoons stay in the area longer and return more often. That increases the chances they start working their way into the structure.

Seasonal Nesting Pressure

Activity increases during baby season when females look for protected spaces. Homes that raccoons have invaded before often attract females again during this window.
