Raccoon Removal
Effective
Raccoon Relocation
While raccoons can be charming to observe, they are also highly destructive pests. These animals often gain access to residential attics by damaging soffit panels, ridge caps, or roof and gable vents. They may also seek shelter in chimneys, typically for hibernation or to raise their young.
Stone River Wildlife Control uses humane methods to handle raccoons, including live trapping and natural deterrents to encourage their departure. Once removed, they will be relocated to areas that are better suited to their natural habitat and away from urban environments to ensure their well-being.
Stone River also offers services to prevent future intrusions by sealing off entry points. For chimneys, we also provide capping solutions to keep them secure. If you need assistance in discouraging raccoons from your property, please text or call us at (218) 269-0944 for a prompt response.
Vigilant Disease Prevention
Like other wildlife, raccoons can sometimes carry diseases such as distemper or rabies. Our fully licensed team holds a Minnesota DNR Division of Enforcement permit, allowing us to offer raccoon control services. We adhere to MN DNR guidelines and prioritize the safety and well-being of all animals. If we detect signs of illness in a raccoon, we take responsible measures to prevent the spread of disease and ensure the animal is free from suffering.
Signs of Raccoons
- Tracks measuring 2-4 inches with five toes and tubular-shaped scat.
- Nocturnal chattering or scratching noises.
- Burrows or dens near trees, under decks, or in attics.
- Overturned trash cans, disrupted bird feeders, pet food left outside, or gardens that have been dug up.
