Raccoons in the Crawlspace Madison

Raccoons in the Crawlspace have become a growing issue in Madison. Crawlspaces are secluded and dry and a perfect place for raccoons to have a safe place to make a nest. It’s not the noise in your crawlspace that should worry you, but the damage raccoons can make by ruining the insulation, vapor barrier and duct lines. The insulation and vapor barrier can be ruined from urine, feces, afterbirth, and diseases. 

Most commonly in Madison , we find an adult female raccoons with babies in crawlspaces. Often, if you hear a loud thumping noise, raccoons have made their way into the crawlspace and started making a new home for themselves. If you act quickly, you can circumvent this and hopefully minimize damage created by raccoons in the crawlspace.

Besides raccoon infestations in your crawlspace, you don’t want damage or odor coming from your crawlspace! The noises from your crawlspace are unnerving and a raccoons can cause potential HVAC issues with your duct lines. The biohazards of the urine and feces can also cause respiratory infections. Raccoons droppings can also carry parasites that are unhealthy for both your family and pets.

Raccoon Crawlspace Madison – Raccoon Inspection

Female raccoons work hard to protect and hide their litter of babies. Finding these babies is never easy and pretty much always involves crawling through a cramped and sweltering attic that is full of fiberglass insulation that has a distinctive strong odor of urine and feces.

Raccoon Crawlspace Madison – 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 Crawlspace Madison – 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 Crawlspace Madison – 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.

We were really impressed with Chris Mclain’s knowledge of pest control. He was so professional in his explanation of what we needed to have done. His bid was also much lower than our other bid. We highly recommend this company for any pest elimination you need. Michael and Ashley Robilio.

After calling multiple other companies to remove a possibility rabid racoon from my property and was told they could not get to me until the next day, I called Alpha Wildlife. Chris came out within 30 minutes of my call and caught and removed racoon. He said they would check to make sure it was sick. If so they would euthanize humanely. If it was not sick they would release it back into the wild. This made my daughter very happy. I would highly recommend.

REMOVAL PROCESS

TRAPPING

The first step in the wildlife process is removing the problem animal. Once the animal is identified, Alpha Wildlife will take the specific approach required. This means we use one of our many different types of traps to remove the animal from the home or business.
With live traps, it is mandatory that we check the traps every day that they are opened. Based on the entry point, we position our traps that will be most effective in catching the animal.

PREVENTION

While we are trapping the problem animal, Alpha Wildlife will begin on the prevention and repairs. Every repair that Alpha Wildlife does is first and foremost, to be effective and aesthetically pleasing. The goal here is twofold.
On one hand, we want to make sure that the animals stay out of your home. Our second objective is to make sure your home looks great when we are done. The repairs that we do on your home will be based on the animals that we are preventing reentry from. For example, a bat seal-up is much different than a rat seal-up.
Additionally, we will complete an inspection to look for other signs of problematic animals. Sometimes there are indicators that other critters have been through. We want the process to be thorough so it doesn’t happen again.

REPAIR

Sometimes wildlife in the attic or crawlspace causes so much damage that the insulation or vapor barrier needs to be replaced. In this case, an Alpha Wildlife technician will take detailed pictures of the damage and provide them to the homeowner.
Sometimes a homeowner would like to use their insurance to cover the cost of the restoration. If this is the case, they can provide the estimate and pictures to their insurance representative. Alpha Wildlife works with any insurance company to take care of their customers.
Once the work is agreed upon, Alpha Wildlife will schedule an insulation or vapor barrier replacement. This process usually takes a day or two.
