Choose your city
Washington's climate, with its wet winters and warm summers, creates opportunities for raccoons. They seek shelter from heavy rains and find food sources readily available. Homes in areas like Vancouver, especially those with older structures, can offer easy access to attics and crawl spaces. We focus on identifying and sealing these entry points. Our methods are designed to humanely remove raccoons and prevent them from returning to your property.
Common questions
Will Animal Control remove a raccoon for free?
Most wildlife removal services have a charge. The cost depends on the complexity of the job. We offer a free phone estimate to give you a clear understanding of the potential cost. Call us to discuss.
What smells keep animals away?
Some people use scents like ammonia or vinegar. These are usually temporary deterrents for raccoons. They do not solve the root cause of animal entry. Professional exclusion methods are more reliable.
Is there a fee for calling animal control?
There is no fee to call us for an assessment. We provide free phone consultations. This helps us understand your specific problem. We aim for transparent pricing for our services.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?
The 3-3-3 rule applies to pets adjusting to a new home. It suggests 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn routines, and 3 months to feel settled. This rule is not relevant for wild animal removal.
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 effective and humane wildlife removal services.
How does Washington's weather affect raccoon problems?
Washington's mild, wet winters encourage raccoons to seek shelter indoors. This can lead to them entering homes in areas like Spokane Valley. Our services address these seasonal wildlife intrusions.
