Raccoon Removal in Clearwater, Florida

Why Clearwater homes get raccoon removal calls
Attic bat colonies are common in older Clearwater rentals — we handle full exclusion and guano cleanup to code. That's exactly the environment where our raccoon removal work pays off — we find every entry point, remove the animal humanely, and seal your home so it stays out.
Why raccoons pick your home
Attics are dry, warm, and predator-free — perfect for a mother raccoon to raise kits. Once inside, they rip insulation, damage soffits, and contaminate the space with urine and feces that can carry roundworm.
How we handle raccoons
We identify entry points, trap adults using FWC-compliant methods, hand-remove any kits so the litter isn't abandoned in your walls, and then seal every access point with heavy-gauge steel and rated sealants. Cleanup and deodorizing finish the job.
Signs of a raccoon in the attic
Heavy thumps at night, chittering or growling above the ceiling, torn soffit or fascia, tipped garbage cans, or paw prints around your roofline. Raccoons are strong — waiting only leads to more damage.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer emergency raccoon removal?
Yes — we're on call 24/7 across Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, and Polk counties.
Are raccoons dangerous?
They can carry rabies, roundworm, and leptospirosis. Never approach one yourself, especially if it looks sick or is out during the day.
Will they come back?
Not once we've excluded them properly. Our repairs are warranted — that's the difference between trapping and true wildlife control.
