Raccoons Control
The raccoon needs no introduction to anyone with a garbage can in Spokane or Post Falls. Raccoons live statewide in Washington, and the suburbs hand them the perfect package: storm drains for travel corridors, uncapped chimneys and attics for dens, and a steady supply of pet food, grills, and trash. Breeding runs January through March, and by April females are hunting for a dark, warm den to raise three to five kits, which is exactly when chimney and attic calls spike. A denning mother shreds insulation for nesting material, and the shared latrines they leave on roofs and decks carry roundworm eggs that survive in soil for years, making droppings a genuine sanitation problem. They do not hibernate, so winter calls still happen, just on the warmer nights. Smart, strong, nocturnal, and already inside your perimeter.
⚠ Signs of Activity
- Heavy thumping and chattering in the attic or chimney at night, especially April through June
- Torn soffits, pried roof vents, or a chimney cap knocked loose
- Overturned garbage cans with lids removed and contents sorted with surgical precision
- Large blunt droppings in a shared latrine spot on the roof, deck, or at the base of a tree
🎯 Our Treatment
We use humane live traps or one-way doors on the den entry, with a full check for dependent kits before any exclusion so no young are sealed inside. Then we repair the entry with sheet metal and hardware cloth and sanitize any latrine areas.
🛡 Prevention
- Secure garbage cans with locking lids and bring pet food in at night
- Cap the chimney with a wildlife-proof stainless steel cap
- Trim tree limbs back at least 6 feet from the roofline to cut off roof access
- Close denning sites under porches and sheds with buried 1/4 inch hardware cloth
