Attic intrusions in this region often involve nursing females in late winter, requiring exclusion to be timed after young are fully mobile — typically by mid-May.

All wildlife removal in New York is regulated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Our Westchester County contractors hold all required state permits and use only legal, humane methods approved by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Raccoon Removal in Westchester County

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 Westchester County property.

Does homeowners insurance cover raccoon damage in New York? +

Some New York 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 Westchester County contractor can provide documentation of damage for insurance claims.

Are raccoons dangerous to my family in Westchester County? +

Yes. Raccoons in New York 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 New York? +

Raccoons are worst in New York 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. Westchester County 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 New York? +

Raccoon removal requires a state permit in New York, which is issued through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Handling raccoons without proper equipment and licensing carries serious legal and health risks. Licensed contractors in Westchester County hold the required permits and carry the equipment needed to remove raccoons safely, relocate them legally, and clean contaminated areas properly.
