Raccoons may look harmless, but they can cause serious damage when they get into your home. These strong, intelligent animals often tear through roofs, vents, and siding to gain access to attics, where they create nests and raise their young.
At Heath’s Wildlife Service, we provide safe, humane raccoon removal for homeowners and businesses across New Hampshire and Southern Maine. We don’t just remove the raccoons — we identify how they entered, secure those areas, and prevent future infestations.
Raccoons are known for their strength and persistence. Once inside, they can damage insulation, ductwork, and structural areas, while leaving behind droppings and strong odors. Female raccoons can also become aggressive when protecting their young, making removal more dangerous without professional help.
In addition to property damage, raccoons can carry diseases and parasites that pose risks to both humans and pets. That’s why quick, professional removal is essential.
With our combined expertise in wildlife control and construction, we ensure your home is restored and fully protected after the problem is resolved.
If you notice these signs, it’s time to call a professional!
Common signs include loud noises in the attic at night, heavy thumping or movement above ceilings, damaged roof vents or soffits, and torn insulation. Raccoons are larger animals, so their presence is often much more noticeable than smaller wildlife. If you are hearing consistent nighttime activity, it is likely an active infestation.
Yes, raccoons can be aggressive, especially if they are nesting or protecting their young. They may also carry diseases that can affect humans and pets. In addition, raccoons create unsanitary conditions in attics and living spaces through droppings, debris, and contamination.
Raccoons commonly break into homes by tearing open roof vents, soffits, or weak areas along the roofline. They are also known to enter chimneys to create nesting areas, especially during spring when babies are present. Learn more about raccoons in chimneys and how this situation is handled safely.
The most effective solution is professional removal combined with sealing entry points. This ensures the animals are safely removed and prevents future intrusions. Our wildlife removal services are designed to handle raccoon infestations from start to finish.
Yes, raccoons can cause extensive structural damage. They may tear apart roofing materials, destroy insulation, damage ductwork, and leave behind droppings and debris. The longer they remain in your attic, the more severe and costly the damage can become.
Raccoons rarely leave on their own once they have established a nesting site, especially if babies are present. Waiting can lead to more damage and a larger infestation. Professional removal ensures the problem is handled quickly and completely.
The cost of raccoon removal depends on factors such as the severity of the infestation, entry point repairs, and any cleanup required. Homes with attic damage or multiple entry points may require more extensive work. A professional inspection is the best way to determine accurate pricing.
Raccoons may return if entry points are not properly repaired. Long-term protection requires sealing access areas and reinforcing vulnerable parts of your home. Our wildlife prevention and repair services help reduce the risk of repeat infestations.
If you hear heavy movement, scratching, or thumping noises at night, it may indicate raccoons or other wildlife. Avoid investigating on your own, as raccoons can become defensive. Contact a professional to safely inspect and resolve the issue.
