Remove Raccoons Before They Destroy Your Property

Raccoon Wildlife Removal in Lansing

Raccoons in Lansing often tear through roof shingles, rip open soffit vents, and pull apart trash bins while searching for food and shelter. Once inside your attic or crawl space, they leave behind urine-soaked insulation, feces that carry parasites, and damaged ductwork. In neighborhoods with mature trees and older homes, raccoons use low-hanging branches to access rooflines and find weak spots that give them entry within hours.

Trapper Man's trapping & nuisance control offers raccoon wildlife removal that includes trapping, removing the animals, and securing the areas they used to enter. Emergency raccoon removal is available when raccoons are inside living spaces, causing immediate threats to safety, or when a mother raccoon with young is nesting in your attic. The service focuses on humane trapping methods and permanent exclusion to keep raccoons from returning.

Contact Trapper Man's trapping & nuisance control to remove raccoons from your Lansing property and prevent further damage to your home.

Common Concerns Before Scheduling Removal

Homeowners in Lansing frequently ask similar questions about how raccoon removal works and what to expect once trapping begins.

How do I know if raccoons are living in my attic?

You will hear loud thumping or scratching sounds at night, usually between dusk and dawn. You may also see torn insulation, large droppings, or greasy smudge marks along walls and entry points.

How long does it take to remove raccoons?

Most removals take one to two weeks, depending on how many raccoons are present and whether there are babies in the nest. Traps are monitored daily to ensure raccoons are removed as quickly as possible.

What happens if there are baby raccoons in my attic?

If babies are present, they are removed by hand and reunited with the mother outside, or the mother is trapped and relocated with the young. Separating them without a plan often results in the mother causing more damage trying to return.

Why do raccoons keep coming back after I scare them away?

Raccoons return because the entry point is still open and the shelter is still attractive. Removal includes sealing those entry points so they cannot re-enter, even if they try.

When should I call for emergency raccoon removal?

You should call immediately if a raccoon is inside your living space, acting aggressively, or if you see visible damage that is worsening each night. Emergency removal is also needed if raccoons are near children or pets.

Trapper Man's trapping & nuisance control provides emergency raccoon removal in Lansing and handles every step from trapping to exclusion. Contact them now to stop raccoons from causing further damage to your home and property.

The process starts with inspecting your home in Lansing to determine where raccoons are entering and where they are nesting. Common entry points include damaged roof vents, gaps along the roofline, and torn screens over foundation vents. Heavy-duty traps are placed near these areas and checked daily until all raccoons are removed.

Once the raccoons are gone, you will no longer hear thumping or scratching sounds at night. The strong ammonia smell from raccoon urine will begin to dissipate, and you will notice that insulation is no longer being torn apart or compacted. Damaged wiring and ductwork will stop showing new signs of tampering, and entry points will be sealed to block future access.

Exclusion work includes reinforcing weak areas with galvanized steel mesh and replacing damaged vents with wildlife-resistant covers. Contaminated insulation and waste are removed if necessary, though full attic restoration is handled separately. The goal is to make your home inaccessible to raccoons while addressing the immediate health and safety concerns caused by their presence.
