Raccoon Removal DC
Raccoons are increasingly common across DC, living in attics, crawl spaces, chimneys, and under decks. They carry rabies, roundworm, and other diseases. DC law requires humane trapping and release or euthanasia by licensed wildlife control operators. DIY removal is dangerous and often illegal. Professional exclusion prevents re-entry.

FAQ
Raccoon Removal — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about raccoon removal in Washington, D.C., including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does raccoon removal cost in DC?
Raccoon Removal is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
Is it legal to trap raccoons in DC?
Raccoon trapping in DC requires a Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator license from DOEE. All our technicians are properly licensed. DIY trapping is not recommended and may violate local regulations.
How do raccoons get into my attic?
Raccoons are strong and dexterous — they can rip open soffit vents, roof returns, and damaged areas to access attics. They often target homes in spring when females seek safe nesting sites for babies.
Are raccoons dangerous?
Yes. Raccoons can carry rabies, raccoon roundworm, and leptospirosis. They can be aggressive when cornered, especially mothers with babies. Never approach or attempt to handle a raccoon. Call a licensed professional.
What happens to the raccoon after removal?
DOEE regulations govern raccoon relocation. In most cases, raccoons are relocated to approved areas or humanely euthanized if they show signs of illness. We follow all state and local wildlife regulations.
