We will thoroughly inspect the area where the critters are living and remove them from their living quarters with special equipment designed for this purpose. The environment will be clean and free of any pests.
Raccoon in the Attic
Raccoons just love to live in homes’ attics! Although they may be adorable, they can do a lot of damage to your home if you don’t act quickly. They enter attics through exterior vents and chew their way in or tear down the shingles on your roof. These creatures make nests from insulation which they soaked in urine and excrement once they are inside.
Residents in Palm Beach County will have to deal with many problems with raccoons living in their attics. Raccoons not only cause damage to your insulation, but also make noise, and leave droppings all over the place. Raccoons will also bring rubbish into the attic to make their home, including food wrappers and containers, which can attract other pests.
Dead Raccoon Removal
Removing dead animals is a problem anywhere but it is especially bad in Palm Beach Florida with its year-round warm weather. Dying animals love crawling into walls and ceilings. They create a terrible odor and become a breeding ground for flies and maggots that carry diseases.

We have the expertise, knowledge, equipment, and experience to safely remove any dead animal from your property. Our dead animal removal service is fast, efficient, and affordable.
We will clean the area to ensure that no disease can spread to your home.

Palm Beach Raccoon Removal
Pest control that uses poison to deal with raccoon problems is never a good idea. The last thing you need is a dead raccoon rotting in your attic. The carcass will not only create an unpleasant odor, but will also attract maggots, fleas, and other disease-carrying insects.
Additionally, the raccoon can track the toxic chemical through your home until it dies. This is a very serious health hazard that you cannot take lightly.
AAAC Wildlife Removal specialists will not use poison to exterminate raccoons from your home. We use live traps, which can be set in many ways to ensure success. It’s a humane and effective method to rid yourself of these pesky critters.
How to Get Rid of Raccoons in the Palm Beach Area
The most common method to eliminate these creatures from a house is to trap them and then remove them. To trap these animals effectively and humanely, you need a certain level of expertise. A licensed and certified trapping company should do it.
You cannot just buy any trap at your local hardware shop. There are many types of traps, and each one requires a certain level of expertise. We will choose the right trap for your specific situation and set it in a way that is guaranteed to work.
AAAC Wildlife Removal is licensed and certified by Florida. We have the knowledge and equipment to quickly and humanely trap and remove unwanted animals from your house.
Because you don’t want the horrible smell of dead rats in your attic, we always use humane traps. Two types of traps are available:
- One-way trap doors
- Two-way trap doors
Two-way doors will usually suffice to trap raccoons. But, having a two-way door can help increase the success rate by allowing animals to see through the trap. Animals will be more comfortable entering the cage if they are able to see the other side.
You also have to bait them with something that they’ll find irresistible. It’s possible to bait them with pet food, fruit, and marshmallows. These baits can be very tempting to a mother raccoon, and the marshmallow’s white color is noticeable in a dark attic.
Repellents have no effect on raccoon behavior. People have tried things like mothballs and ammonia but these are just a stopgap measure at best. You can make your home less appealing to them by closing off any access points and sealing holes with steel mesh. Also, they will be able to use overhanging tree branches as a bridge between the roof and the tree.
The Raccoon Removal Process
We use humane and safe methods to remove raccoons from your home or property. This is our procedure for removing raccoons from your home or property.
- Set Traps
- Remove Raccoon
- Make home less attractive to wild animals
- Seal entry holes
- Clean attic
- Repair any damage done
Setting traps
We set the traps in areas where the raccoons are known to frequent. The traps can be baited using sweets like marshmallows or wet cat food.
Remove the raccoon
We will capture the raccoon and remove them from your property ensuring they can no longer return.
Make your home less attractive to wild animals
After removing the animal, we’ll make your home less attractive to raccoons and other wildlife by removing all possible food and water sources.
Seal all entry points
We will find any entry points that raccoons or other wildlife may use to get into your home and seal them all. Special mesh netting is used to seal holes and prevent animals from entering.
Clean up the attic
To prevent the spread of diseases and parasites, we will clean out and disinfect your attic. Our special enzyme cleaner kills any bacteria or mold spores in your attic. It also works as an air freshener to get rid of any foul odors that may have been left behind by the raccoons.
Repair wildlife damage
Once cleaning is complete, we will repair all damage caused by the infestation both inside and outside of your property. These include ripped shingles and chewed through sidings. We’ll also replace insulation or roofing that is damaged, torn, or has been ripped apart.
Raccoon Repellents
Raccoon repellents sold in the market almost never work. These products claim to repel raccoons from your home. However, most of these products have very limited effects on raccoons as the animals can simply adapt to the noises and smells.
Some may even be harmful to humans and pets when used around the property. The best way to repel raccoons is to make sure they don’t have access to your house and that there isn’t anything attracting them to your property.
Raccoon Infestation Signs
Raccoons usually leave signs of their presence behind after they have moved into your attic. These include:
- Unpleasant smell of droppings
- Damage to your home’s exterior
- Strange noises
- Tipped over garbage bins
- Raccoon tracks
- Missing pet food
- Pets behaving strangely
Droppings that leave an unpleasant odor
Raccoons don’t know how to use the bathroom so they just go wherever. You will find your attic covered with their droppings, urine, and nesting material.
Not only is this an unsightly mess to deal with, but it also poses a serious health risk. Droppings can be full of harmful bacteria and parasites, which can make your family and friends very sick. It can attract parasites and other animals, as well as make a horrible stench that is difficult to eliminate.
The possibility of a raccoon roundworm is a concern with raccoons in attic. This is a parasitic worm that can be transmitted to humans through contact with raccoon feces. It can cause blindness, seizures, and even death in extreme cases.
Damage to your home’s exterior
Raccoons like nothing better than finding a nice warm place in which they can live. To find it, they will destroy anything in their path, including roof shingles and vents. If there are raccoons in your home, it is possible to see holes and tears. This could also be dangerous because insulation materials might have been altered, potentially exposing wiring in walls and ceilings. This can increase the risk of a fire hazard.
Strange noises
Raccoons create lots of noises at night as they move around your attic, crawl space, and chimneys. These sounds can be heard through the floorboards or ceiling and is an obvious sign that you have an infestation on your hands. Before these creatures cause permanent damage to your home, it is important to get professional assistance from wildlife experts immediately.
Tipped over garbage cans
The raccoon is a nocturnal animal and mostly scavenge at night. These critters love to rummage through your garbage cans and dumpsters in search of food scraps or other things that they can eat. If a raccoon has made its way into your property you should make sure that your trash bins are sealed shut so that these animals cannot get in.
Raccoon tracks
Raccoons are nocturnal animals that feed at night. These critters love to rummage through your garbage cans and dumpsters in search of food scraps or other things that they can eat. You should seal your trash cans to stop raccoons from rummaging through them.
Were you aware that Raccoons have very sensitive hands that almost act as a second set of eyes?
Missing pet food
Pet owners should always be wary of raccoons because this animal is attracted to anything edible including dog or cat food left outside overnight. If your area is susceptible to raccoon infestation, it’s best to keep pet food indoors.
Did you know that Raccoons are omnivorous?
Strange behavior in pets
If raccoons invade your home, pets like dogs and cats will behave strangely. This can cause animals to feel more anxious, and even aggressive if there is wildlife in their vicinity.
Wildlife Exclusion
The only long-term solution to a raccoon problem is wildlife exclusion. This means covering up all entry points so that the animals can’t get back in. These openings are crucial for preventing future infestations. Our experts can identify and seal them.
Regular maintenance, such as trimming tree branches and removing food sources, is crucial to keep animals away. AAAC Wildlife Removal can help you if you have a problem with raccoons. We can help you rid these pests permanently!
Attic Clean up and Re-insulation
To a raccoon family, nothing says safety than a warm and cozy attic to raise their young in. They will rip apart any insulation and make a mess.
This can not only be unsightly, but it can also pose a serious threat to your health. The insulation is designed to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It can’t do its job if it is covered with raccoon urine and feces.
In addition, the soiled insulation is a breeding ground for parasites and bacteria. As long as your soiled insulation is intact, you are likely to be exposed to harmful organisms.
Our wildlife specialists are experts in insulation replacement and cleaning up attics. We will remove all of the contaminated insulation, sanitize the area, and replace it with new insulation. This will make your home safe and healthy again.
