The problem
Raccoon Removal, done right
Raccoons are strong, smart and persistent. They'll tear open a roof vent, pull back a soffit or move into a chimney to have their young, and once one has found a way in it remembers it.
We remove raccoons humanely, check for babies, then repair and reinforce the entry so it holds up to a raccoon trying to get back in. That last part is what most people skip, and it's why the problem keeps coming back.
Signs to look for
How to tell it’s raccoons
- Heavy thumping or walking in the attic at night
- Chirping or chattering from the chimney or ceiling (often young)
- Torn shingles, vents, soffits or screens
- Tipped trash cans and dug-up lawn (raccoons rolling sod for grubs)
- Latrine piles of droppings on the roof, deck or attic
How we handle it
Out first. Then keep them out.
Inspect
We find the entry point and where they're denning, and check whether there's a mother with young.
Remove
We remove adults with live traps or one-way doors, and remove young by hand so the family isn't separated.
Repair and reinforce
We rebuild the damaged entry with heavy-gauge steel and install chimney caps where needed.
Decontaminate
Raccoon droppings can carry roundworm. We can clean and sanitize latrine areas and damaged insulation.

Questions
What people ask us
Something else on your mind? Call and talk to a real person.
(207) 531-5524There's a raccoon in my chimney. Should I light a fire?
No. It's dangerous and it often doesn't work. There may be young that can't climb out. Call us; we'll remove them and cap the chimney.
Why is a raccoon out during the day?
It's not always a sign of rabies. Mothers with young often forage in daylight. But if one is stumbling, circling or acting aggressive, keep away and call for help.
Can you keep raccoons out of my trash and deck?
Yes. We can screen off decks and porches with buried barriers and recommend ways to secure trash and compost.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the animal, how much of the house is affected and how hard the entry points are to reach. We inspect first and give you a straight written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will it come back?
Not if the entry points are sealed. Removal alone is a band-aid: another animal finds the same gap. We close the gaps with heavy-gauge materials so the problem is actually fixed.
Which areas do you cover?
Cumberland, York and Androscoggin counties in southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick, Lewiston and Auburn. Not sure if you’re in range? Call and ask.
