Raccoons and squirrels use tree branches, utility lines, and rooflines to reach the eaves, then work through the soffits, the vents, and any gap in the roofline. Trimming the branches and sealing the roof edges closes the routes.

Yes. We use legal, humane trapping and exclusion methods, then seal the entry point so the animal and its young cannot return.

Yes, in most cases. The droppings and the nesting carry parasites and odors, and the cleanup is what makes the space safe to use again.
