Raccoons are smart, strong and destructive — and a female raccoon that gets into your attic to nest can do thousands of dollars in damage in a single season. Florida Wildlife Pros humanely traps and removes raccoons from attics, roofs, garages, pools and yards across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, then cleans up and seals the entry points so they can't return.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need Raccoon Removal

If any of the following sound familiar, it's time to call in a professional:

  • Heavy thumping or scratching in the attic or ceiling, usually at night
  • Torn soffits, vents, roof edges or fascia where a raccoon forced entry
  • Raccoon droppings in the attic, garage or around the pool
  • Tipped trash cans, raided pet food, or torn screens and pool cages
  • A mother raccoon and kits denning in the attic, chimney or soffit
Raccoon Removal in South Florida by Florida Wildlife Pros

Raccoons are a classic attic invader in South Florida — they climb, they're dexterous enough to open weak vents and soffits, and warm attics make ideal denning sites, especially for mothers raising young. We start with an inspection to find every entry point and to determine whether kits are present, because removing a mother without her babies just creates a bigger, messier problem inside your walls.

We humanely trap and remove the animals, reunite or relocate as appropriate, and then handle the part most companies skip: cleanup and repair. Raccoon droppings and urine can carry parasites and pathogens and will contaminate insulation, so we clean and decontaminate the affected area and repair the damage that let them in.

The final and most important step is exclusion — sealing soffits, vents, roof lines and other access points with materials raccoons can't tear through. Without it, a clean attic today is an open attic next month. Our exclusion work is what turns a raccoon removal into a permanent fix.

Florida note: A raccoon in the attic during spring or summer very often means a mother with babies. Sealing the entry without removing the kits first traps them inside — always have the attic inspected before any hole is closed.

Why Raccoon Removal Isn't a DIY Job

It's tempting to try to handle a wildlife problem yourself, but raccoon removal done wrong usually makes things worse — and in South Florida it can be genuinely dangerous or even illegal. The animal you're dealing with behaves in specific ways: where it dens and travels, what draws it in, and how it reacts when cornered. Get that wrong and you risk injury, an animal trapped and dying inside your walls, orphaned young, contamination, or a citation for mishandling a regulated species. Decades of hands-on South Florida experience is exactly what turns a risky guessing game into a fast, clean, permanent fix.

FAQ

Raccoon Removal — Frequently Asked Questions

There's scratching in my attic at night — is it a raccoon?

Loud thumps and scratching after dark are classic raccoon signs, though rats and opossums are possible too. We inspect, confirm what's up there, and check for babies before doing anything else. Call 561-940-1895.

Do you clean up the mess raccoons leave behind?

Yes. We clean and decontaminate droppings and soiled insulation, and repair the damage that allowed entry — not just trap the animal and leave.

How do you stop raccoons from coming back?

Exclusion. After removal we seal every entry point — soffits, vents, roof edges — with materials raccoons can't force open. That's what makes the fix permanent.

Is it safe to remove a raccoon myself?

It's not recommended. Raccoons can be aggressive when cornered or protecting young and can carry disease. Humane, legal trapping is best left to a licensed professional.
