Raccoon Removal in Palm Beach County, FL
Raccoons are highly adaptable urban wildlife throughout Palm Beach County, thriving in the region's mix of residential neighborhoods, waterfront communities, and proximity to natural areas. They're one of the most common nuisance wildlife complaints in the county — raiding garbage cans, denning in attics accessed through soffits and fascia, and living under decks and pool equipment areas.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) regulates raccoon removal — trapping requires a Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator permit, and relocation can only be done within the same county. Attempting to handle raccoons without proper training and licensing carries significant health and legal risks. Our technicians hold FWC NWCO licensing and handle all raccoon removal in compliance with Florida law.

Raccoon Removal in Palm Beach County — FAQ
How do raccoons get into Palm Beach County attics?
Raccoons access attics through deteriorated soffits and fascia, open ridge vents, unprotected gable vents, and gaps where rooflines meet. Females looking for a denning site can tear through rotted wood or light-gauge aluminum. Palm Beach County's mature tree canopy also allows raccoons to access rooflines easily. Any gap larger than 3 inches is a potential entry point.
Can I remove raccoons from my Palm Beach County property myself?
Florida law requires a FWC Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO) permit to trap and relocate raccoons. Attempting to handle raccoons also carries risk — raccoons can carry rabies and roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis). Our technicians hold FWC NWCO licensing for legal, humane raccoon removal throughout Palm Beach County.
What should I do if a raccoon is living under my Palm Beach County deck or pool equipment?
Don't attempt to handle or corner the raccoon. A licensed wildlife control technician can install one-way exclusion devices that allow the raccoon to exit but not return, then permanently seal the entry point. During spring, check for kits before excluding — we use methods that ensure mothers and young are not separated.
