Why Elmhurst Has a Raccoons Problem
Elmhurst's dense mix of pre-war apartment buildings, single-family homes, and proximity to parks like Elmhurst Park creates ideal conditions for raccoon activity, especially in attics, chimneys, and garbage areas. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets and older construction near the LIRR and subway lines provide numerous entry points that our specialists are experienced in securing.
