Raccoon Control Boulder, UT

Raccoon Control in Boulder

Raccoons climb roofs and pull open soffits, ridge caps, and attic vents to nest. Once inside, they tear insulation, contaminate it with droppings and urine, and chew on wiring. Female raccoons in spring will defend a litter aggressively, so professional removal is the only safe option. We trap or hand-remove the raccoons, clean and decontaminate the attic, and rebuild any damaged soffit, fascia, or vent screens. Repairs are sealed with materials raccoons cannot pull open.

Raccoon Issues in Boulder, UT

Boulder is an isolated Garfield County community on the Aquarius Plateau at roughly 6,700 feet, connected to the outside world by one of Utah's most remote stretches of highway. Calf Creek and the Escalante River drainage provide water corridors that raccoons use to move across this high canyon country. The sparse population and lack of frequent attic inspections means denning raccoons can go undetected for entire nesting seasons before homeowners notice the damage. Cold plateau winters from October through May make attics particularly attractive. We live-trap the family group and seal the structure with reinforced hardware cloth, addressing every entry gap including chimney flues and rotted eave boards.

What is included

• Trap or hand removal. Live trapping is our first option. For mothers with kits we hand-remove the litter and reunite them outside in a den box.
• Soffit and attic repair. Raccoons most often pull open soffits, fascia, or attic vents. We rebuild and seal these with raccoon-rated materials.
• Attic decontamination. Droppings, urine, and damaged insulation are removed. The space is sanitized with HEPA equipment and full PPE.
• Rabies-aware. Raccoons can carry rabies and roundworm. Our technicians follow strict PPE and disposal protocols. Never approach a raccoon yourself.
