At Southern Wildlife Management, we deliver fast, effective Raccoon Trapping & Raccoon Control Services designed to stop property damage before it spreads. Raccoons tear into soffits, rip insulation, and leave behind toxic waste in attics and crawlspaces. Our licensed team uses targeted trapping, detailed inspections, and proven Raccoon Removal Methods to eliminate the problem and prevent re-entry.

Raccoons are active at night and often enter homes through roof returns, vents, and soffits. Whether you’re in Alpharetta, Cumming, Dawsonville, Johns Creek, Big Canoe, or any other city in our service area, our Raccoon Control Experts are ready to protect your home with fast, local service.

Once raccoons are removed, we seal off access points to keep them out for good. This is called raccoon exclusion—a permanent solution.

• Exclusion = Wildlife-Proof Repairs using durable materials
• Guaranteed Work – Backed by a 5-Year Warranty
• High-Risk Entry Points Sealed – Gable vents, soffits, roofline gaps, dryer vents, and more

Raccoons are powerful animals with dexterous hands—they can rip into weak areas easily. Our exclusion work is built to stop them cold.

RACCOON FECES CLEAN-UP & DECONTAMINATION

Raccoons use communal latrines, often in attics or crawl spaces, leaving behind hazardous feces. This is one of only two animals (alongside bats) where we strongly recommend feces clean-up.

• Do NOT touch raccoon feces – It may contain Baylisascaris (roundworm), which is dangerous to humans
• Our Process Includes:
  • Safe, manual removal of waste
  • HEPA vacuuming of fine particles
  • Enzyme-based anti-microbial disinfectant
  • Full sanitization of contaminated areas

Cleanup is a critical step for health and safety—especially in homes with children, pets, or elderly residents.

Raccoon Trapping – Raccoon Control FAQs

Q) How long does raccoon trapping usually take?

A) Our raccoon trapping program typically runs for one week with up to 5 on-site visits. This gives us time to safely and humanely trap the animal(s), monitor activity, and ensure no raccoons remain inside the structure.

Q) Are daytime raccoon sightings always a sign of rabies or sickness?

A) Not always. Raccoons may be active during the day if food is scarce, it’s mating season, or they have babies to feed. While it’s still worth investigating, a daytime sighting in Johns Creek doesn’t automatically mean something’s wrong.

Q) Why don’t you always recommend full attic restoration after raccoon removal?

A) Every case is different. If we find a raccoon latrine or heavy contamination, we’ll quote a targeted cleanup. Full attic restoration isn’t always necessary and we only recommend it when insulation is significantly damaged or soiled.

Q) Are repellents a good alternative to raccoon trapping?

A) In most cases, no. Repellents are often ineffective when used improperly, and if babies are present, they can drive the mother out and leave the young behind. This can lead to dead animal remediation, which is costly and avoidable with proper trapping.

Q) What’s included in your raccoon control services in Cumming?

A) Our raccoon control service includes setting up humane traps, daily monitoring (up to 5 visits), identifying entry points, and providing an exclusion quote if needed. We tailor our approach to each situation, whether it’s in Cumming or anywhere else in North Georgia.

Q) How do raccoons typically get into homes or attics?

A) Raccoons enter through roof returns, gable vents, soffits, or weak areas along the roofline. Once inside, they may tear insulation, create latrines, and damage ductwork. That’s why a full inspection and sealing up entry points is crucial after removal.

Q) Do raccoons always leave behind damage or mess?

A) Not always, but they often leave behind latrines (designated areas for droppings), which can pose health risks and attract other pests. We inspect for these and quote cleanup services when necessary.

Q) Is raccoon removal safe around pets and kids?

A) Yes. We use humane trapping methods without poisons. Our traps are strategically placed and monitored closely to ensure the safety of children, pets, and non-target animals.

Q) Do you offer exclusion or sealing services after raccoon trapping?

A) Yes. Once we’ve confirmed all raccoons have been removed, we provide a proposal to seal off entry points using durable, critter-proof materials. This is key to preventing future infestations.

Q) What makes your raccoon trapping services different from general pest control companies?

A) We’re wildlife specialists—not general pest control. That means we understand raccoon behavior, nesting patterns, and seasonal activity. Our approach is hands-on, humane, and backed by years of real experience in Alpharetta, Milton, and surrounding areas.
