Raccoon Infestation Gallatin
How does a raccoon infestation in Gallatin, TN happen?
It usually starts with one transient raccoon that has curiously made its way onto your roof or into your crawlspace.
A lot of times raccoons are drawn to these areas looking for a food source or shelter. Raccoons have a very keen sense of smell and will follow the scent from mice, rats, possums, squirrels, etc.
Raccoons are very tenacious, so once they lock onto a scent trail, they will find a way in.
An aggressive raccoon can turn a one inch gap into a six inch gap very quickly.
Once the hole is made into the attic or crawlspace, the raccoon has found its new home. Call Alpha Wildlife at the first signs of any wildlife.
Raccoon infestations in Gallatin do not happen overnight. Usually a raccoon infestation happens over the course of a year or so. Typically the problem is just ignored, until the damage that the raccoons have done, has affected the customers living space.
Whether, the insulation is completely destroyed or the raccoons have ripped the insulation off the duct lines. the raccoon infestation cannot be ignored anymore. Call Alpha Wildlife to handle the trapping, prevention, repair, and clean up.
Raccoon Infestation Gallatin – Raccoon Trapping & Removal
Once we confirm the animal species that has entered your home, we are trained to use the most effective and humane means of removing the animals. While we use many different traps, our team uses the most effective trap for each animal and situation.
Sometimes we simply set live traps or use other devices that allow the animals to safely exit your home, but not get back inside. Other times we remove the animals by hand, or with special tools such as snare poles.
In every animal removal project, Alpha Wildlife follows and obeys all local and state laws provided by the State of Tennessee. We always take the most humane approach and search for babies before leaving and sanitizing.
Raccoon Infestation Gallatin – Raccoon Prevention
Repairing entry holes is a crucial step in the wildlife removal process. Sealing all entry holes shut ensures no future wildlife entry from these holes, which is also our goal. Our job is not considered complete until 100% of the entry holes are found and sealed shut. When applicable, we use steel. Rodents such as rats and squirrels are unable to chew through steel – they prefer wood.
Raccoon Infestation Gallatin – Attic Decontamination
Wildlife that enters your home often leave behind large amounts of droppings, urine, hair, oils, food, nesting materials, etc. It is these remnants left behind that attract other rodents (mice, rats, flying squirrels, raccoons) and even maggots. The scent they leave behind often encourages other animals to chew their way into your home, or use the same hole that the first animal used.
Odor problems are also a big issue. Mold can grow on waste area, and dead animals often attract maggots. Our removal team removes or vacuums all droppings, and removes and replaces all soiled insulation. Next we fog the attic with a special enzyme-based cleaner. This deodorizes the space and destroys any organic matter.
Raccoon Danger & Risks

Raccoons can transmit diseases to both humans and your pets. How? They have disease on their paws, along with raccoon roundworms. When they walk all over your attic, they spread these diseases.
