Why Richmond Has a Raccoons Problem
Richmond's mix of Victorian homes, colonial-era structures, and modern residences near the Greenbelt creates ideal raccoon habitats with accessible attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces. The area's abundant wildlife corridors and mature trees allow raccoons to easily move between properties, making professional exclusion work essential for long-term protection.
Why Choose Us for Raccoon Removal in Richmond
Raccoon removal is a multi-step process regulated by New York State — trapping, relocation, and exclusion work must all be performed by NYS DEC licensed wildlife specialists to ensure compliance and effectiveness. We start with an inspection of your attic, eaves, chimney, and exterior to confirm raccoon presence, identify entry points, and assess any damage to insulation, ductwork, or structure. We deploy live traps baited with appropriate attractants, check traps daily, and relocate captured raccoons in accordance with DEC regulations and humane treatment standards. Once removal is confirmed, we seal all identified entry points with heavy-gauge hardware cloth, metal flashing, and appropriate fasteners — our 30-day guarantee covers re-entry through any sealed point.
