Raccoon Removal in Queens
Licensed & Insured · Same-Day Service · Guaranteed Results
Raccoons have established themselves throughout Queens, thriving in the borough's diverse landscape — from the wooded corridors near Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge to the residential neighborhoods of Forest Hills and Bayside. These nocturnal animals are opportunistic nesters that readily exploit older housing stock, seeking out attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces as protected denning sites. Once inside, they cause significant damage: shredding attic insulation, contaminating surfaces with droppings that carry raccoon roundworm, and chewing through structural materials.
Queens' mix of attached homes, two-family houses, and garden apartments creates multiple raccoon entry scenarios. Shared rooflines between attached houses allow raccoons to move laterally and find entry points on properties neighboring their original access point. Areas near Alley Pond Park, Cunningham Park, and the Jamaica Bay corridor see heightened raccoon pressure year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are signs of raccoons in a Queens attic?
Heavy thumping sounds at night, a strong ammonia smell from above, torn soffit or fascia material, and scattered trash are the most common signs. Female raccoons actively seek attic access in late winter and spring to raise young.
Are raccoons dangerous to Queens residents?
Raccoons can carry rabies, distemper, and raccoon roundworm — all of which pose real health risks. They also become defensive when cornered. Professional removal by a licensed wildlife specialist is strongly recommended over any DIY attempts.
How do raccoons get into Queens homes?
Common entry points include damaged soffits, open ridge vents, chimney openings without caps, gaps where rooflines meet dormers, and deteriorated fascia boards. Queens' older housing stock and mature tree canopy give raccoons easy roof access.
What happens to raccoons after removal in Queens?
Captured raccoons are relocated in accordance with New York State DEC regulations. Our technicians are licensed wildlife control operators and follow all applicable state guidelines for humane capture and relocation.
