How do I know if I have raccoons in my Palmetto attic? +
Heavy thumping/chittering at dusk/dawn (raccoons weigh 10-25 lbs). Damaged fascia/soffits, claw marks on downspouts, droppings near entry points, urine smell. Entry holes 4-6 inches across.
When can I evict raccoons from my Palmetto attic? +
Female raccoons whelp late February through early May, kits dependent 8-10 weeks. Right approach: one-way doors after kits are mobile.
Do you handle raccoon removal on Palmetto farm properties? +

How much does raccoon removal cost in Palmetto, Georgia? +
Raccoon removal in Georgia typically costs $200–$600+ for trapping and relocation. If raccoons have been living in your attic, full remediation including cleanup, decontamination, and entry point sealing generally runs $800–$2,500+ depending on colony size and insulation damage. Call for an estimate specific to your Palmetto property.
Does homeowners insurance cover raccoon damage in Georgia? +
Some Georgia homeowners insurance policies cover sudden, accidental raccoon damage — such as a torn soffit or damaged roof decking. Most policies do not cover gradual damage or the cost of removal itself. Review your policy or call your agent before assuming coverage. Your Palmetto contractor can provide documentation of damage for insurance claims.
Are raccoons dangerous to my family in Palmetto? +
Yes. Raccoons in Georgia are one of the primary wildlife carriers of rabies and shed Baylisascaris roundworm in their feces — a parasite that can be fatal to humans and pets. Attic-dwelling raccoons contaminate insulation with droppings that remain infectious long after the animals are gone. Professional cleanup after removal is not optional — it is a health necessity.
What time of year are raccoons worst in Georgia? +
Raccoons are worst in Georgia from December through March, when pregnant females actively seek attic entry points to give birth. A second wave of activity occurs in late summer as juveniles disperse and establish new territories. Palmetto residents should inspect rooflines and soffits in fall — before denning season — to seal entry points before a raccoon moves in.
Can I remove raccoons myself in Georgia? +
Raccoon removal requires a state permit in Georgia, which is issued through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Handling raccoons without proper equipment and licensing carries serious legal and health risks. Licensed contractors in Palmetto hold the required permits and carry the equipment needed to remove raccoons safely, relocate them legally, and clean contaminated areas properly.
