Raccoon Control in Grand Rapids, MI
Professional Raccoon Removal in MIchigan Since 1996
Raccoon are very adaptable and learn very quickly. These masked opportunists can be very destructive - opening or knocking over improperly covered trash, and are masters at breaking & entering, finding your property’s vulnerabilities. Raccoons are omnivores, eating both meat and vegetation. In the wild they eat crayfish, frogs, other aquatic creatures, mice, insects, eggs, fruits, and plants. But because of their opportunistic nature they will raid gardens, crop fields, animal feed stores, pet food, garbage containers, and even your kitchen! Our Michigan wildlife control experts at Varmint Evictors, Inc. can safely remove these rummaging critters from your home or business. We are a local, and family-owned business, committed to keeping our neighbors safe from wandering wildlife, and work hard to not only remove critters like raccoons, but also, keep these creatures from returning.

Preventing Future Raccoon Infestations
After successfully removing raccoons from your property, it's important to take steps to prevent future infestations. Raccoons are attracted to food sources, shelter, and easy access points, so implementing preventative measures can help keep them away.
Here are some tips to prevent raccoons from returning:
- Secure garbage cans with tight-fitting lids
- Keep pet food indoors
- Trim tree branches away from your roof
- Seal off any entry points to your home, such as gaps in the roof or foundation
- Install motion-activated lights or sprinklers to deter raccoons
By taking these preventative measures, you can help ensure that your home remains raccoon-free in the future. If you have any questions or concerns about raccoon prevention, don't hesitate to contact our team at Varmint Evictors, Inc. for expert advice and assistance.
