Raccoon Removal in Savannah, GA
Raccoons are one of the most common wildlife problems in Savannah. They are strong, clever and well adapted to living near people, which means they find their way into attics, chimneys and crawl spaces in older homes throughout Coastal Georgia.
Hearing heavy thumping at night or noticing torn shingles and soffit damage are common signs. Removal is the first step, but finding how they got in matters just as much.
Signs you have this animal
- Heavy thumping or walking sounds in the attic at night
- Torn or damaged shingles, soffits or roof vents
- Droppings on the roof or near entry points
- Nesting material pulled into the attic
- Visible raccoon activity on the roof at dusk or dawn
How we remove it
Raccoon removal often involves trapping or one-way doors that let the animal leave but not return. The right approach depends on the situation, including whether young are present and how many entry points there are.
After the raccoon is removed, the entry points need to be addressed. Otherwise, another raccoon or a different animal may find the same opening.
How we seal the entry points
Raccoons are strong enough to pull apart soffits, bend vents and tear shingles. In Savannah's older housing stock, roof intersections and vent openings can give them more than one way in.
Sealing entry points may involve repairing soffits, capping chimneys, replacing damaged vents and securing crawl space access. The goal is to close every opening the raccoon used so it cannot get back in.
