Pittsburgh Raccoon Expert FAQ
How do you get raccoons out of a Pittsburgh attic?
Raccoon removal involves a comprehensive process: trapping the adult, searching for and humanely removing any litters of babies, and then performing a total structural exclusion. We identify the primary entry point—often a torn soffit or roof vent—and seal it with professional-grade steel to prevent future infestations.
What kind of damage do raccoons do to Pittsburgh homes?
Raccoons are incredibly destructive. We frequently see torn HVAC ductwork, crushed insulation, and heavy contamination from urine and feces. Because raccoons are heavy animals, their activity can also lead to structural damage and ceiling staining in homes throughout Allegheny County.
When is raccoon baby season in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania, raccoon maternity season typically peaks between March and May. During this time, female raccoons are highly aggressive as they defend their young. If you hear chattering or heavy thumping in your attic during these months, it is highly likely there is a nest of babies present.
