Raccoon Control in Dallas

Dallas Raccoon Removal Backed by 38 Years of Local Experience

Addison Pest Control of Texas has handled residential and commercial pest and wildlife control across the Dallas Metro since 1986. We’re a family-owned company, not a franchise, and raccoon removal is part of our full-service operation. That means the same team that removes the raccoon can also address the secondary pest issues an intrusion leaves behind. We offer free inspections and estimates before any work begins.

Raccoons are a common and persistent problem for Dallas-area property owners. Call us at (972) 200-9383 to schedule your free inspection and get a clear picture of what’s happening on your property.

Signs You Have a Raccoon Problem

Raccoons are nocturnal and highly adaptable to Dallas suburban and urban environments. They exploit unsecured trash, pet food left outdoors, bird feeders, and standing water. Most homeowners don’t see a raccoon directly. They hear it first.

Common signs of an intrusion include:

• Heavy thumping or scratching in the attic or walls during evening or overnight hours
• Overturned trash containers or scattered debris near the home
• Damage to soffits, roof vents, or fascia where raccoons have forced entry
• Hand-shaped paw prints near rooflines or exterior vents
• Clustered dark droppings near nesting areas or attic access points

The damage goes beyond what’s visible. Inside an attic, raccoons nest in insulation and use it as a latrine, contaminating it with urine and feces. They chew electrical wiring and ductwork, creating fire hazards. Female raccoons in North Texas typically give birth between April and May, so spring is the most active period for attic intrusions. When kits are present, they must be located and removed along with the mother.

Raccoons are a rabies vector species, and their droppings can carry Baylisascaris procyonis (raccoon roundworm), a parasite harmful to both people and pets. Dallas Animal Services doesn’t trap or remove nuisance wildlife at private properties, so professional handling is required. Attempting capture without training carries real disease risk.

Our Raccoon Removal Process

Effective raccoon removal follows a defined sequence. Trapping without sealing entry points allows other animals access through the same openings. Our four-step process covers the full scope of the problem.

Property Inspection

We start by identifying every entry point, locating the animals, and documenting structural damage. Raccoons can squeeze through openings as small as four to five inches and are capable of prying open loosely secured vent covers and chimney caps. A thorough inspection catches what a quick visual walkthrough misses.

Humane Trapping & Removal

We use humane live trapping as our primary removal method, following Texas Parks and Wildlife Department regulations for nuisance wildlife handling. Under Texas law, transporting or selling live raccoons within or from the state is a Class C misdemeanor. Professional handling keeps our clients on the right side of state law without putting them in a complicated position.

Exclusion & Entry Point Sealing

Once the animals are out, we seal the access points: roof gaps, gable vents, ridge vents, crawlspace vents, and chimney caps. When animals are still inside at the time of service, we install one-way exclusion doors that allow them to exit without permitting re-entry. Trapping alone doesn’t address the openings that allowed access in the first place, and exclusion work is what reduces the likelihood of repeat intrusions.

Cleanup & Secondary Pest Treatment

After removal and exclusion, we address droppings, nests, and soiled insulation to restore safe, sanitary conditions. Because we operate as a full-service pest control company, we can also treat for insects or rodents that the intrusion may have attracted or introduced.
