Who Do You Call For Raccoon Poop Removal In Your Attic?

To address raccoon poop in your attic, it’s best to call a professional wildlife control specialist or a reputable pest control company specializing in wildlife issues. They can safely remove the raccoon and then clean and sanitize the affected area, including removing the insulation that has been contaminated by urine and poop. 

Here’s why a professional is recommended:

  • Health and Safety: Raccoon feces can carry diseases and parasites such as fleas, ticks, hookworms, and roundworms, and handling it yourself without proper precautions can be risky. Professionals are trained to handle the cleanup safely. 
  • Proper Removal: They have the tools and knowledge to properly remove the raccoon and the contaminated insulation and ensure it doesn’t return, including sealing entry points and animal proofing your home. Animal proof soffit vents are the best solution to keeping your home animal free.
  • Cleanup and Sanitization: They can remove and replace contaminated insulation and any hvac ductwork materials, disinfect the attic, and deodorize the space. Often time a pheromone treatment may be needed as well.
  • Cost: While there’s a cost associated with hiring professionals, it’s often less expensive in the long run than dealing with the potential health risks and damage from leaving the problem untreated.
