Raccoon Removal and Exclusion in New Jersey
|
A raccoon passing through a yard is different from one repeatedly opening trash containers, entering a chimney or using an attic for shelter. The first question is what the animal is doing and whether it is using the building.
Professional Termite & Pest Control provides wildlife removal and exclusion for property problems. A dark facial mask and ringed tail can help identify a raccoon, but sounds from an attic or wall alone do not establish which animal is responsible. |
Observe from a safe distance
Note repeated activity around the same roofline, chimney, crawl space, deck or shed. Record the route only if you can see it safely. Do not climb onto a roof, corner the animal or reach into a suspected den. Keep children and pets away.
Secure accessible trash, pet food and other food sources. Correcting those conditions can reduce repeat visits, but it does not remove an animal already sheltering inside a structure.

Plan removal before closing openings
Sealing an opening before confirming that the space is empty can trap animals inside. Dependent young may also be present. Inspection should establish occupancy and how the animal is using the property before permanent exclusion work begins. |

The proposed work should explain the removal or exclusion method, timing and openings to be addressed. Any damaged or contaminated material is a separate part of the assessment; ask what is included in the scope.
