Raccoons are not pests, and they cannot be managed through traditional pest control methods. When raccoons establish activity on residential or commercial properties in North Georgia, their behavior can lead to attic contamination, structural damage, torn insulation, damaged rooflines, and serious health concerns related to parasites and waste. These situations require licensed wildlife professionals with experience specific to Raccoon Trapping and Control.

Raccoon trapping and control services for North Georgia are professionally handled by our Wildlife Division, Southern Wildlife Management, providing homeowners and property managers with direct access to licensed raccoon trapping when wildlife activity becomes destructive.

Raccoons are not insects or rodents and cannot be managed with traditional pest control treatments. Repellents, poisons, and deterrents are ineffective and often illegal when used improperly. Because raccoons are regulated wildlife in Georgia, removal must follow strict state laws and humane handling requirements.

For this reason, raccoon issues fall under licensed Nuisance Wildlife Trapping, not Standard Pest Control Services.

Southern Pest Management and Southern Wildlife Management operate as a family-run partnership. While pest control services are handled through Southern Pest Management, wildlife trapping and wildlife exclusion require separate licensing, training, and equipment. Those services are provided through our wildlife division at SouthernPest.biz.

This separation ensures:

• Proper licensing and legal compliance

• Humane wildlife handling

• Specialized wildlife trapping experience

• Accurate service recommendations

• Professional raccoon removal solutions

How do I know if I have raccoons in my attic or home?

Common signs include loud thumping or walking noises at night, damaged rooflines or soffits, torn insulation, and concentrated areas of feces (latrines).

Are raccoons dangerous to have on my property?

Raccoons can carry diseases and parasites, including rabies and roundworm, and their waste poses serious health risks if disturbed.

Why are raccoons entering my attic or structure?

Raccoons seek shelter, warmth, and safe nesting areas, especially during breeding season. Roof gaps, vents, chimneys, and construction openings are common entry points.

Can raccoons cause structural damage?

Yes. Raccoons are strong climbers and can tear shingles, bend vents, rip insulation, damage ductwork, and compromise rooflines and attic spaces.

Is raccoon trapping legal in Georgia?

Yes, but raccoon trapping and handling are regulated. Removal must be performed by a licensed wildlife professional following state laws.

Why isn’t raccoon removal a pest control service?

Raccoons are wildlife, not insects or rodents. Traditional pest control treatments are ineffective and illegal for raccoon removal.

How long does raccoon trapping usually take?

Most raccoon trapping programs are completed within a one-week timeframe, depending on activity levels and access conditions.

Will raccoons come back after trapping?

They can if entry points are not sealed. Trapping removes the animal, but exclusion prevents future raccoons from entering.

Is raccoon feces dangerous to clean up myself?

Yes. Raccoon feces can contain roundworm eggs that pose serious health risks. Professional cleanup is strongly recommended.

Who should handle raccoon trapping and removal?

Only a properly licensed wildlife control professional with experience in raccoon behavior, trapping methods, and exclusion should handle raccoon problems.
