Raccoon Removal in Orlando & Central Florida
Stop Raccoons From Ripping Up Your Roof and Attic
Raccoons are strong, clever animals that have adapted extremely well to Central Florida neighborhoods. In the Orlando area, they often raid trash cans, visit pools and bird feeders at night, and tear open roofs or soffits to nest in attics. Once inside, raccoons can cause serious damage to insulation, ductwork, and wiring—and leave behind large amounts of droppings.
Gato Lawn & Pest Control provides professional raccoon removal and exclusion, focusing on safety for you and your pets while resolving the problem as quickly as possible.

Raccoon Problems Around Orlando Homes
Typical raccoon issues we see include:
- Raccoons entering attics by tearing shingles, fascia, or soffit panels
- Noises in the attic at night, especially thumping, scratching, or chattering
- Tipped-over trash cans and scattered garbage
- Damage to pool cages, screened porches, and pet doors
Because raccoons are larger animals with strong paws and teeth, they can create bigger openings and more extensive damage than many other nuisance wildlife.
Health & Safety Concerns
Beyond property damage, raccoons can:
- Carry parasites such as fleas and ticks
- Leave droppings that may contain harmful pathogens
- Act aggressively if cornered, especially females with young
For these reasons, raccoon removal should be handled by professionals with proper equipment and safety protocols.
Gato’s Raccoon Control Process
1. Inspection & risk assessment
We inspect the roofline, attic, soffits, crawl spaces, and yard to locate entry points, nesting areas, and raccoon travel routes.
2. Humane removal
Gato uses species-appropriate trapping and removal strategies designed to minimize stress on the animals and maintain safety for your household.
3. Exclusion & structural reinforcement
Once the raccoons are removed, we seal entry points and recommend any necessary reinforcement—such as screening roof vents, securing soffits, or reinforcing weak roof areas.
4. Cleanup & odor control guidance
We can advise on cleaning or replacing contaminated insulation and managing odors that might attract other wildlife.
Preventing Future Raccoon Problems
- Use heavy, tight-fitting lids on outdoor trash cans
- Avoid leaving pet food outside overnight
- Secure pet doors at night when possible
- Repair loose soffit, fascia, and roof materials promptly
- Trim trees away from the roofline to limit access routes
Gato can partner with you to combine these preventive steps with professional exclusion for long-term protection.
