Raccoon Control in Ophir
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 Ophir, UT
Ophir is a historic Tooele County mining community in Ophir Canyon in the southern Oquirrh Mountains, where Ophir Creek provides the riparian corridor raccoons use in this narrow canyon setting. The mining heritage means many structures in Ophir are older construction with open attic vents and deteriorated eave assemblies that raccoons find easy to breach. The canyon geometry concentrates raccoon movement through a small area, directing animals toward the cluster of historic homes along the canyon floor. Cold canyon winters at 5,900 feet make heated structures essential from October through April. We live-trap the family group and seal the structure with reinforced hardware cloth, then decontaminate any soiled insulation found in affected attic or crawl spaces.
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.
Common questions
How do raccoons get into an attic?
They pull open soffits, fascia boards, or attic vents. A determined raccoon can defeat a hardware-cloth-screened vent in minutes if it has been weakened. Spring is the most common nesting season.
Are your methods humane?
Yes. We use live trapping or hand removal, and for mothers with kits we reunite the litter outside in a den box rather than separating them.
How much does raccoon removal cost?
We provide a free estimate. Pricing depends on entry-point complexity and whether attic remediation is required.
