About raccoon removal in Cullman
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.
What we see most in Cullman

What you should know about raccoon removal
Biology & Behavior
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.
When this happens in Cullman
Peak attic activity is February through May (denning and kit-rearing). Late-summer dispersal brings juveniles into garages and crawlspaces.
Alabama & Federal Regulations
Raccoons are an unprotected nuisance species in Alabama but must be handled humanely; live trapping and on-site euthanasia options follow state wildlife code.
Disease & Safety Risks
Raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), leptospirosis, and rabies. Attic latrines require professional sanitation — spores survive years.
Materials We Actually Use
Live traps, heavy-gauge hardware cloth, steel flashing, stainless screws, replacement soffit and ridge-vent material, attic decontamination supplies.
