Local raccoon removal for Athens homes. We respond fast, identify entry points, remove the animals, seal the work, and clean up. Forty years working Athens and the surrounding Limestone County area.
Raccoons are powerful, smart, and destructive. They tear soffit vents, rip shingles, and create attic latrines that contaminate insulation. We remove them safely — including mothers with kits — and repair the damage so they cannot return.

Adult raccoons weigh 12–25 lbs, climb roofs easily, and target attics for maternal denning. They will tear soffit vents, lift shingles, and pry roof returns.

Raccoons are an unprotected nuisance species in Alabama but must be handled humanely; live trapping and on-site euthanasia options follow state wildlife code.

Live traps, heavy-gauge hardware cloth, steel flashing, stainless screws, replacement soffit and ridge-vent material, attic decontamination supplies.
