Raccoon Control Monticello, UT

Raccoon Control in Monticello

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 Monticello, UT

Monticello is the San Juan County seat at 7,050 feet on the flanks of the Abajo Mountains, where the canyon drainages off the mountains provide the primary water corridors raccoons use in this high desert setting. The Abajo Mountains' east-facing drainages carry raccoons from the forested slopes into the residential blocks of Monticello, which sits at a higher elevation and receives more precipitation than the surrounding Colorado Plateau. Cold plateau winters here run from October through May, making attic cavities important thermal resources. Older construction in Monticello commonly has open gable vents and deteriorated soffit assemblies. We live-trap and remove, then sanitize the attic cavity and install heavy gauge mesh at all entry points.

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.
