NWCOA-certified technicians providing humane raccoon trapping, exclusion, and attic restoration throughout Northeast Florida.
Jacksonville’s warm climate, abundant tree cover, and proximity to water make it one of the most raccoon-active areas in Florida. Raccoons are highly intelligent, adaptable animals that thrive in suburban neighborhoods across Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, Mandarin, and the Beaches communities. They’re most active from dusk to dawn, and their populations peak during spring breeding season (February through June).
While raccoons play an important ecological role, they become a serious problem when they move into homes. Raccoons are powerful enough to tear through roof shingles, soffit panels, and fascia boards to access attics, crawl spaces, and wall voids. Once inside, they establish latrines, build nesting sites, and can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage — often before homeowners even realize they’re there.
In Jacksonville’s older neighborhoods like Riverside, San Marco, and Murray Hill, aging rooflines and mature tree canopies give raccoons easy roof access. In newer communities like Nocatee and Julington Creek, construction disturbances push raccoons from natural habitats into residential areas. No neighborhood is immune.
Raccoons are one of the primary rabies carriers in Florida. According to the CDC, raccoons account for approximately 30% of all reported rabid wildlife cases in the U.S. Any direct contact or scratch can transmit the virus.
Raccoon feces can contain roundworm eggs that become airborne when droppings dry. Inhalation can cause severe neurological damage in humans, particularly children.
Raccoon urine can contaminate attic insulation and surfaces, potentially transmitting this bacterial infection.
Raccoons tear through wiring, ductwork, and insulation. The NFPA lists animal-caused wire damage as a known residential fire cause.
Entry holes in roofing allow rain penetration, leading to mold growth and wood rot — often costing thousands in repairs.
We understand the temptation to handle raccoon problems independently, and there are preventive steps every homeowner should take:
However, we strongly advise against attempting to trap or remove raccoons yourself:
We follow a proven, humane process that solves the problem completely — not just temporarily:
A licensed technician thoroughly inspects your roof, attic, soffit, fascia, crawl space, and perimeter. We identify every entry point, assess damage, and check for babies — critical during spring breeding season.
We develop a removal strategy specific to your situation, including humane trapping and one-way exclusion devices that let raccoons leave but prevent re-entry.
Our NWCOA-certified technicians execute the plan. If baby raccoons are present, the family is removed together and relocated safely — never separated.
We seal every entry point with professional-grade materials — galvanized steel mesh, metal flashing, heavy-gauge hardware cloth — that raccoons cannot tear through again.
We remove contaminated insulation, sanitize affected areas, and eliminate roundworm and bacterial contamination. We can coordinate insulation replacement with TAP® pest-control insulation.
Every raccoon removal comes with our 2-week service guarantee. If we missed anything, we come back at no additional cost. Monthly prevention programs are also available.
Certified by the National Wildlife Control Operators Association — the industry's gold standard for ethical wildlife management.
Fully licensed by the State of Florida with comprehensive liability insurance.
No poisons or inhumane traps. Every removal follows NWCOA best practices.

Costs vary based on the severity of the infestation, number of entry points, and whether attic cleanup or insulation replacement is needed. We provide a detailed quote after your free inspection — no surprises. Financing is available through Wisetack.
Most raccoon removals are completed within 3–7 days, depending on whether babies are present and the number of animals involved. Exclusion and repairs can typically be completed the same week.
Raccoons are active year-round in Northeast Florida, but infestations peak from February through June during breeding season, when mother raccoons seek warm, protected spaces — like your attic — to raise their young.
Yes. Raccoons can carry rabies and distemper, both transmissible to dogs and cats, and they can seriously injure smaller pets when cornered. Keep pets indoors at night and ensure rabies vaccinations are current.
Not if exclusion is done properly. Our process seals every entry point with materials raccoons cannot breach — we eliminate the access, not just the animal.
Yes. All raccoon removal services include our 2-week guarantee. If a raccoon returns through a sealed entry point within that window, we come back and resolve it at no additional charge.
