• Raccoon Trapping and Removal

 

Raccoon in the wild. Interstate Pest Management, serving Portland OR and Vancouver WA provides safe raccoon trapping and removal services.

Although raccoons are cute and curious critters, they can cause a lot of problems if given the opportunity. These wild animals are known for getting into trash cans as they search for food but they’ll also nest in your chimney, in your attic, and under the eaves of your home. If you’re dealing with a raccoon problem, it’s important to enlist the help of a professional, like Interstate Pest Management. We offer humane raccoon trapping and removal services for homeowners and businesses in the Portland OR and Vancouver WA area.

Are Raccoons Dangerous?

Raccoons are like any other wild animal, so they may attack if they feel threatened. Raccoons have sharp teeth and sharp claws so an attack by a raccoon can be painful.

Even more serious is a raccoon’s potential to spread infections and diseases. E. Coli, Salmonella, rabies, leptospirosis, and roundworm can be contracted through contact with an infected raccoon’s fur, saliva, and waste. Inhaling particles from infected feces is another way diseases can be spread.

In addition to health risks, raccoons can also cause damage to your home and property using their strong teeth and claws.

Common signs of raccoons include:

  • Occasional raccoon sightings (they’re mainly active at night)
  • Messy or tipped over garbage cans
  • Food waste
