Raccoon Exclusion in West Chester
Secure Your Home Against Raccoon Damage Permanently
Heavy thumping above ceilings, torn shingles, and chewed fascia boards are all signs that raccoons have found their way into your attic. Eastern Wildlife Solutions provides raccoon exclusion services that remove raccoons and protect your West Chester home from future damage using humane, regulation-compliant methods.
West Chester's mature-tree neighborhoods and older colonial-style homes offer ideal denning sites for raccoons seeking warm, quiet spaces to raise young. Wildlife damage studies show that raccoons can exert over 200 pounds of force with their paws, easily tearing through weakened soffits and fascia. The team performs detailed inspections of your roofline, fascia, soffits, attic, and potential den sites to locate active entry points and assess damage.
You need a service that combines immediate removal with long-term prevention. Every exclusion plan is designed to make it much harder for raccoons to re-enter, protecting your investment and your family's safety.
Our Raccoon Exclusion Process for West Chester Homes
Insulation pulled down in the attic, foul odors, and visible droppings in attic spaces all indicate that raccoons have been present for some time. These animals often cause significant damage to insulation, wiring, and structural components before they're discovered.
West Chester's mix of Victorian, colonial, and mid-century homes requires tailored exclusion strategies. Removal uses approved methods—depending on the situation, trapping or one-way devices are employed in accordance with Pennsylvania regulations. Sealing and reinforcement follow, closing and reinforcing entry points with heavy-gauge materials that raccoons cannot easily breach. Damage assessment includes evaluating insulation and wiring, and next steps are recommended if repairs are needed.
Studies show that raccoon latrines can harbor Baylisascaris procyonis roundworm eggs, which remain infectious for years if not properly remediated. Call us today for raccoon exclusion in West Chester.
