Expert Raccoon Control
Raccoon Removal Services in Truckee, Tahoe City, and Grass Valley
Serving El Dorado, Nevada, and Placer Counties
At Gold Country Wildlife Control, we specialize in comprehensive raccoon removal services in Truckee, Tahoe City, Grass Valley, and the surrounding areas of El Dorado, Nevada, and Placer Counties. Unlike other parts of the country where raccoons typically get into attics, raccoons in our region often break into homes through foundation vents, causing extensive damage by getting under the house.
The Dangers of Raccoons Under Your Home
Raccoons are not just a nuisance—they can cause severe structural and health issues:
Foundation Vent Damage: Raccoons are notorious for prying open foundation vents, which provides easy access to crawl spaces under your home. Once inside, they cause significant damage to insulation, HVAC systems, and plumbing.
Insulation and HVAC Damage: Raccoons tear apart insulation to create nests, causing massive insulation damage that reduces your home's energy efficiency. They can also chew on ducts and cables, damaging HVAC systems and increasing heating and cooling costs.
Exterior Damage: Raccoons can also cause damage to the exterior of your home, such as creating entry points by tearing away siding or damaging roof shingles.
Electrical and Plumbing Issues: Chewing on electrical wiring and plumbing pipes can lead to expensive repairs and even potential fire hazards.
Health Risks: Raccoons establish latrine areas where they repeatedly defecate, creating a significant health hazard. Raccoon feces can contain roundworm, a parasite that is prevalent throughout the Sacramento Valley and beyond, posing a risk to both humans and pets.
Our Raccoon Removal Process
At Gold Country Wildlife Control, we offer a three-pronged approach to raccoon removal:
Removal: We begin by safely and humanely removing the raccoons from your property. Our team is experienced in using exclusion devices and live trapping methods to ensure raccoons are relocated without harm.
Exclusion: Once the raccoons have been removed, we focus on preventing future infestations. We seal all entry points, repair damaged foundation vents, and reinforce potential access areas with sturdy materials. Our exclusion methods ensure that raccoons cannot re-enter your home, providing a long-term solution.
Sanitation and Restoration: Raccoon infestations often leave behind a significant mess. We provide thorough sanitation services, including the removal of raccoon feces and contaminated insulation. We also offer insulation replacement and repair services to restore your crawl space to a clean, safe, and energy-efficient state.
