Raccoon Removal Tyler TX
Raccoons in your attic or chimney? We trap, remove, and seal entry points so they can't come back. Free inspection, same-day response.
Raccoons are the single most common attic wildlife call in Tyler. A mother raccoon looking for a den site will tear through soffit vents, roof edges, and fascia boards to get into a warm, dry attic space — and once inside, she'll stay until the entry point is sealed and she has nowhere else to go.
Signs of a raccoon in your attic include heavy thumping or rolling sounds at night, visible entry damage at the roofline, and a strong ammonia-like odor from droppings. We see this most often in South Tyler and Hollytree, where mature trees provide easy roof access.
Our Raccoon Removal Process
Inspection & Entry Point Mapping
We inspect the full roofline, attic, and chimney to find every active and potential entry point — raccoons often use more than one.
Humane Trapping
Live traps are placed at the entry point and inside the attic if needed. If juveniles are present, we locate and reunite the litter before excluding the den site, which prevents animals from becoming trapped inside walls.
Exclusion & Repair
Once the attic is confirmed empty, we seal all entry points with heavy-gauge steel mesh and repair any chewed fascia, soffit, or roof decking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a raccoon in my attic?
Heavy footsteps or rolling sounds at night, torn roof vents or fascia, and a strong odor from droppings are the most common signs. Raccoons are nocturnal, so activity is usually loudest between dusk and dawn.
Will you remove baby raccoons too?
Yes. If a litter is present we locate and reunite them with the mother before sealing the den site — separating them without reunification often leaves young raccoons trapped inside the structure.
Can raccoons come back after removal?
Not if entry points are properly sealed. We use steel mesh exclusion rather than temporary patches, which is why we always pair trapping with a full exclusion service.
