Raccoon Problems in Grand Prairie TX This Fall
Raccoons are one of the most destructive wildlife pests in Grand Prairie TX. A female raccoon with cubs can cause $10,000+ in attic damage — tearing insulation, destroying ductwork, and leaving behind large quantities of feces and urine that contaminate your attic.
Grand Prairie’s proximity to Joe Pool Lake, Mountain Creek Lake, and the Trinity River corridor supports a large raccoon population that regularly moves into residential neighborhoods.

Signs of Raccoons in Your Grand Prairie Attic or Property
Heavy Thumping Noises at Night
Raccoons are large — adults weigh 8-20 pounds. Their movement in attics is distinctly heavy and thumping. Activity peaks at dusk and dawn with heavy footsteps, rolling sounds, and vocalizations in your attic.
Knocked-Over Trash Cans
Raccoons are the primary cause of overturned garbage cans in Grand Prairie neighborhoods. If your cans are consistently tipped over, raccoons are foraging your property nightly.
Damage to Roof and Soffits
Raccoons gain attic access by peeling back soffits, breaking through roof vents, and tearing shingles. The damage is much larger and more forceful than squirrel damage.
Raccoon Health Risks
Raccoons are the most common carrier of rabies in Texas. Any raccoon displaying unusual daytime behavior or aggression should be considered potentially rabid. Keep children and pets away and call us immediately.
Raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) spread through raccoon feces can cause severe neurological damage in humans. Never handle raccoon feces without professional protective equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to trap raccoons in Texas?
Texas law allows property owners to trap nuisance wildlife. Our team holds the required Texas Parks and Wildlife Department licenses.
Do raccoons return after removal?
If entry points are not sealed, new raccoons may use the same access points. We guarantee our exclusion work against return entry.
Can raccoons have babies in fall?
Raccoons typically give birth in spring. Fall raccoons may be young from the spring litter still denning with their mother. We check for young before installing exclusion devices.
