Mothers tear into attics and chimneys each spring to den; all raid trash and pet food at night.
Why raccoons are a problem
Serious structural damage, contaminated insulation, and raccoon roundworm in droppings.
How Antex handles raccoons
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Lock trash lids, cap chimneys, and reinforce soffits before spring denning season.
