Raccoon Removal
Professional raccoon removal for Camden County.
Raccoons are among the most intelligent and adaptable wildlife species invading Camden County homes and businesses. These nocturnal mammals weigh between 10 and 30 pounds and possess remarkable dexterity — their front paws can open latches, tear through soffit material, and pry apart roofing shingles to gain entry to your attic. In Camden County, raccoon activity peaks from late winter through early summer as females seek warm, sheltered spaces to birth and raise their young. Neighborhoods bordering Cooper River Park, the wooded corridors of Winslow Township, and the older tree-lined streets of Haddonfield and Collingswood see especially high raccoon pressure. Once inside, raccoons create latrines that harbor raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), a parasite dangerous to humans and pets. They also damage insulation, ductwork, and electrical wiring, creating fire hazards and driving up energy costs. Our Camden County raccoon removal team holds all required NJDEP wildlife control permits and follows humane live-trapping protocols. We do not just remove the animal — we identify every entry point, install heavy-gauge exclusion materials, and sanitize contaminated areas so your home is safe and secure long after the raccoon is gone.

Our Raccoon Removal Process
Inspection
Complete exterior and attic inspection to locate all entry and exit points, assess damage, and check for juvenile raccoons.
Humane Trapping
Strategic placement of humane live traps near active entry points, baited and monitored daily in compliance with NJDEP regulations.
Exclusion & Sealing
Once all raccoons are removed, sealing every entry point with commercial-grade galvanized steel mesh, metal flashing, and construction-grade sealants.
Sanitation
Full attic sanitation including removal of contaminated insulation, enzyme-based disinfection of raccoon latrines, and deodorization to eliminate pheromone trails that attract new wildlife.
🛡️ Prevention Tips
- ✓Secure trash cans with locking lids or bungee cords and store them in a garage until collection day
- ✓Trim tree branches at least 8 feet away from your roofline to eliminate aerial access routes
- ✓Install chimney caps and heavy-duty vent covers rated for wildlife exclusion
- ✓Remove outdoor pet food and bird feeders before dusk when raccoons become active
- ✓Repair any damaged soffit, fascia, or roof shingles immediately — even small gaps invite exploration
- ✓Install motion-activated lights or sprinklers around the perimeter of your home
- ✓Close and lock pet doors at night, as raccoons quickly learn to use them
