Raccoon Control In Salt Lake City, Utah

Our Raccoon Control Process

Raccoon control from Pest Pro follows a simple yet effective procedure: first, we inspect your property for any signs of raccoon activity around your home, then we remove them using a mix of tools and expertise. 

Inspection

When you first contact us about raccoon control, one of our trained technicians will visit your property in order to perform a comprehensive inspection for any and all signs of raccoons on the premises. He or she will go around the entire exterior of your home looking for any potential entry points they might be using as well as conducive conditions that could attract them to your home. He or she will also identify potential harborage areas where raccoons might be nesting so that we can safeguard your home from raccoons. 

Treatment

After the inspection, your technician will then begin treatment. Pest Pro raccoon treatment consists of two potential procedures: evicting and trapping. 

Evicting

During raccoon eviction, your technician will first remove the mother from the premises and then carefully remove any baby raccoons. Your technician will then perform sanitary procedures, including feces removal, before fogging the area. He or she will then place chimney caps where necessary, for an additional charge.

Trapping

For a raccoon trapping procedure, your technician will first determine how and where raccoons are getting inside your home. Then, he or she will strategically place live traps in these areas, which will be checked daily by either you or our technician for trapped raccoons or signs of activity. Your initial service call includes 14 days’ worth of trapping. 

We offer raccoon trapping as a one-time service or as a two-week recurring service based on your individual needs. Raccoons are most actively seen from March-August, although we offer our residential pest control and commercial pest management services year-round.

No matter the issues, we will take care of you! For raccoon control in Salt Lake City / Park City, call us today at (385) 314-4973.

What are the Signs of a Raccoon Infestation?

Raccoon infestations can be both a nuisance and a health hazard, so it’s crucial to identify the signs early. One of the most apparent indicators is the presence of raccoon droppings. These droppings are often found in concentrated areas, as raccoons tend to use the same spot repeatedly. The feces are usually dark and tubular, similar to that of a small dog, and can carry harmful pathogens.

Another telltale sign is the noise. Raccoons are nocturnal, so you might hear scratching, thumping, or chattering sounds in your attic, walls, or chimney during the night. These noises indicate that raccoons are active and possibly nesting in your home.

Physical damage is a major indicator. Raccoons are strong and dexterous, capable of tearing shingles, siding, and vents to gain entry. You might notice damaged insulation, chewed wires, or scratched surfaces where raccoons have been active. They can also create large holes in your roof or soffits as entry points.

Raccoons are notorious for rummaging through trash cans and gardens in search of food. If you find overturned garbage bins, scattered trash, or damaged garden beds, it could be a sign of raccoon activity.

Recognizing these signs early can help you take prompt action to address a raccoon infestation, preventing further damage and potential health risks. If you suspect a raccoon problem, it’s wise to contact a professional pest control service to safely and effectively handle the situation.

Prevent Future Raccoon Infestations

Once you've successfully dealt with a raccoon problem, it's essential to take proactive measures to prevent their return.

Our team at Pest Pro Pest Control offers comprehensive solutions to help safeguard your property against future invasions.

Here are some effective strategies to keep raccoons at bay:

• Secure Trash Bins: Use raccoon-proof bins and ensure lids are tightly closed to avoid attracting them with easy food sources.
• Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for potential entry points such as gaps in roofs, vents, and attics, and seal them to block access.
• Remove Outdoor Food Sources: Avoid leaving pet food or birdseed outside overnight, as these can entice raccoons to your property.

• Regular Property Inspections: Schedule periodic inspections with our experts to identify and address any vulnerabilities before they become a problem.

By implementing these preventative measures, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is less likely to attract unwanted raccoon visitors. For more personalized advice and assistance, contact Pest Pro Pest Control today!
