Raccoons are intelligent, curious animals. In Virginia, they are active year-round but especially during spring and fall. They’re always searching for food and shelter—and your attic, crawl space, or chimney may seem perfect to them.
Raccoons enter homes through:
Broken vents or soffits
Loose roof shingles
Chimneys without caps
Gaps near the roofline
Open garages or basements
Once inside, they may build nests, rip up insulation, and cause major damage.
Raccoons are large and noisy, so the signs are usually easy to spot. Watch for these common warning signs:
Loud banging or thumping in the attic, usually at night
Tipped-over trash cans or torn garbage bags
Droppings near the attic or entry points
Torn ductwork, insulation, or wires
Visible damage around the roof or vents
Strong odors from urine or feces
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call a professional for raccoon control in Virginia.
Yes, raccoons can be dangerous to your home and health. Here’s why:
Disease Risk – Raccoons can carry rabies, roundworms, and other harmful diseases.
Property Damage – They tear apart insulation, ducts, wires, and wood.
Health Hazards – Their droppings contain bacteria and parasites.
Aggressive Behavior – Cornered raccoons can become aggressive and bite.
Flea & Mite Infestations – Their nests can attract fleas, ticks, and other pests.
Never try to remove a raccoon yourself. Let trained professionals handle the situation safely.
At Virginia Wildlife Removal, we use a proven system to safely remove raccoons and keep your home protected.
We start by doing a complete inspection of your attic, roofline, crawl space, and other areas where raccoons might enter or nest. We look for damage, droppings, and access points.
We use safe, humane traps and one-way exclusion devices to remove raccoons without hurting them. This method allows raccoons to leave but prevents them from getting back in.
After removing the raccoons, we seal all entry holes with heavy-duty materials. We ensure they can’t get back inside your home.
We clean up droppings, remove nests, and disinfect affected areas. If your insulation or ductwork is damaged, we offer repair and replacement services.
We can install chimney caps, vent guards, and other exclusion products to prevent future wildlife problems.
