Raccoon Control in San Antonio
San Antonio's Trusted Animal Control Specialists
Raccoons are a common nuisance in the San Antonio area, often causing significant property damage by tearing into attics, ducts, or roofs. Hearing scratching noises overhead or finding trash cans tipped over are clear signs of a wildlife problem that requires professional animal control.
We are Accurate Pest Control, and we have provided expert animal trapping services locally since 1990. Our experienced technicians offer same-day emergency response to safely remove raccoons and secure your home, backing our services with a reliable warranty.
Raccoons in San Antonio are active throughout much of the year due to the region’s mild winters, which means they may seek shelter in attics and crawlspaces even outside the peak spring nesting season. Homes built with vented soffits, older roofing, or additions can create hidden gaps that make it easy for wildlife to slip inside if those areas are not regularly inspected. Because many neighborhoods have mature trees, alleys, and convenient food sources, raccoons quickly learn which properties are easiest to access and will often return if entry points are not properly secured.

The Dangers of Raccoons on Your Property
While raccoons may appear curious, they are a significant risk to both your property and your health. Once they identify your home as a food source or shelter, they can become destructive and territorial.
- Attic and Roof Damage: Raccoons will tear off shingles, rip open soffits, and destroy ventilation ducts to gain entry to an attic, where they seek shelter to have their young.
- Interior Contamination: Once inside, they will shred insulation for nesting and establish latrines (communal toilets). Raccoon feces are extremely hazardous and can contain roundworm eggs.
- Health Risks: Raccoons are a primary vector for rabies in Texas. They can also carry distemper, fleas, and ticks, posing a direct threat to family pets.
- Yard and Trash Destruction: Raccoons are notorious for tipping over trash cans, destroying garden plants, and tearing up newly laid sod in search of grubs.
Addressing a raccoon problem quickly is key to preventing long-term, expensive structural and health-related damage.
Our Raccoon Removal & Exclusion Process in San Antonio
At Accurate Pest Control, we follow a multi-step process for effective animal control. Our goal is not only to remove the immediate problem but to ensure it does not return.
- Thorough Inspection: Our technicians first identify the raccoon's entry points, nesting areas, and the extent of the damage.
- Humane Trapping: We use effective and safe trapping methods in accordance with all local and state regulations. We are experienced in handling wildlife safely.
- Removal: Once captured, the animal is removed from your property. Our fast response times, including same-day emergency service, mean we can retrieve trapped animals quickly.
- Exclusion and Repair: This is the most critical step. We provide services to repair the damage and securely seal all entry points to prevent future wildlife from re-entering your home.
- Cleanup Guidance: We can advise on the necessary steps for safely cleaning contaminated areas (latrines) to protect your family's health.
For many homeowners, the most valuable part of our process is the prevention work we complete after the raccoons are gone, such as sealing gaps around rooflines, reinforcing soffit vents, and evaluating nearby trees or structures that provide easy roof access. In San Antonio’s mix of older homes and newer construction, we often see issues around additions, carports, and detached garages that are not built to the same standards as the main structure, so we pay close attention to these areas. By combining removal with exclusion and long-term prevention strategies, we help reduce the likelihood that wildlife will target your property again.
Our experienced team handles the entire animal control process, backed by the warranty on our work.
