Raccoon Removal in Nassau County, NY
Nassau County's Raccoon Removal Specialists Since 1982
Raccoon problems are a fact of life in Nassau County. The county's mature suburban tree canopy — the towering oaks and maples lining neighborhoods from Syosset to Rockville Centre — gives raccoons effortless roof access, and older housing stock in communities like Hempstead, Freeport, and Baldwin often has the vulnerable soffits and fascia boards that raccoons exploit for attic entry. Once inside, a raccoon family can cause thousands of dollars in insulation damage, structural harm, and contamination from latrines in just weeks. Nassau County's proximity to Hempstead Lake State Park, Massapequa Preserve, and other wildlife corridors means raccoon populations are large and persistent — pressure that doesn't let up seasonally. Liberty Pest Pros has handled raccoon removal throughout Nassau County since 1982. Our licensed trappers use DOT-compliant, humane methods, seal every entry point with raccoon-proof materials, and offer complete attic sanitization and restoration services. We know Nassau County's raccoon behavior, we know the structures, and we know how to solve the problem permanently.

Why Trust Liberty Pest Pros for Raccoon Removal
Raccoon removal is not a job for amateurs. These are large, strong, intelligent animals that can be aggressive when cornered or protecting young — and they carry rabies and roundworm that pose real health risks to your family. Liberty Pest Pros brings over 40 years of experience and proper licensing to every raccoon removal job in Nassau County.
Licensed trappers. Our technicians are trained and licensed wildlife removal operators operating in full compliance with New York State Department of Transportation and DEC regulations. Every raccoon is handled humanely and relocated appropriately.
DOT-compliant exclusion. After removal, we seal every entry point using commercial-grade, raccoon-proof materials — heavy-gauge hardware cloth, galvanized steel flashing, and professional sealants. We don't patch holes with foam or caulk that a raccoon can re-open in minutes.
Attic restoration services. Raccoon latrines in attics can harbor dangerous pathogens. We offer complete attic cleanout — removing contaminated insulation, sanitizing the space with enzyme-based disinfectants, and coordinating insulation replacement — so your home is fully restored after removal.
Guaranteed work. We stand behind every exclusion. If raccoons re-enter through a point we sealed, we return and fix it at no additional charge.

Frequently Asked Questions — Raccoon Removal
How do I know if I have raccoons in my attic?
Common signs of raccoons in the attic include loud thumping or scratching sounds at night (raccoons are nocturnal), chirping or crying sounds if a mother has young, visible damage to soffits, fascia, or roof edges where they forced entry, insulation scattered in the attic, and a strong musky odor from raccoon latrines. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to act quickly — raccoons can cause significant structural and insulation damage the longer they remain.
How do raccoons get into Nassau County homes?
Raccoons are powerful and dexterous animals that can pry open rotted fascia boards, tear back soffits, push through ridge vents, and even enlarge gaps around chimneys and pipes. Nassau County's mature suburban tree canopy gives raccoons easy roof access — large overhanging branches act as highways directly to your roofline. Homes with older roofing materials or minor existing damage are especially vulnerable. A professional inspection identifies all actual and potential entry points so every one can be sealed after removal.
Is raccoon removal dangerous? Can I do it myself?
DIY raccoon removal carries real risks. Raccoons can carry rabies and raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), both of which pose serious health hazards to humans and pets. A cornered or frightened raccoon will bite and scratch. If a mother raccoon has young in your attic, she will aggressively defend them. Professional removal ensures the animals are handled safely and humanely, and that all waste is properly cleaned up to eliminate disease risk. In New York, raccoons are also regulated wildlife — handling and transport require appropriate licensing.
How long does raccoon removal take?
The removal process typically takes 1-2 weeks from initial inspection to final exclusion. The first visit involves a full inspection and trapping setup. Traps are checked and reset over several days until the raccoon (and any young) are removed. Once we're confident all animals are gone, we seal every entry point with durable, raccoon-proof materials. If young are present, timing may need to be adjusted to ensure they can be safely removed with the mother. Attic cleanup and restoration can be scheduled once exclusion is complete.
How much does raccoon removal cost in Nassau County?
The cost of raccoon removal in Nassau County depends on the size of the infestation, the number of entry points to be sealed, and whether attic restoration is needed. A basic removal and exclusion job typically starts in the several hundred dollar range. Extensive damage repair and attic sanitization increase the cost. We provide detailed, upfront quotes after inspection so there are no surprises. Call (516) 763-4600 for a free consultation.
