Choose your city
Idaho's varied climate, from hot summers to cold winters, influences raccoon activity. They seek shelter from extreme temperatures, often finding their way into homes. Older homes, common in communities like Meridian, may present more opportunities for entry into attics and crawl spaces. We focus on identifying these entry points and implementing humane removal and exclusion strategies. Our goal is to provide lasting solutions for your raccoon problems.
Common questions
Will Animal Control remove a raccoon for free?
Most professional wildlife removal services have a cost associated with them. The fee can vary based on the complexity of the situation. We offer a free phone estimate to give you a clear idea of the potential expense. Call us to discuss.
What smells keep animals away?
Some people try using strong scents like ammonia or essential oils. These are typically temporary deterrents for raccoons and do not address the underlying access issues. Professional exclusion is a more reliable solution.
Is there a fee for calling animal control?
There is no charge for calling us to discuss your situation. We provide free phone consultations. This helps us understand your needs and offer clear solutions and pricing.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?
The 3-3-3 rule is for pets adjusting to a new environment. It suggests 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn routines, and 3 months to feel at home. This rule does not apply to wildlife removal services.
Who to call to pick up stray cats?
For stray cats, you should contact your local animal shelter or humane society. If you have a raccoon problem, that is our specialty. We provide safe and effective wildlife removal.
How does Idaho's weather affect raccoon problems?
Idaho's seasonal weather extremes, both hot and cold, drive raccoons to seek shelter. This can lead them into homes in areas like Meridian. We address these weather-related wildlife intrusions.
