Raccoon Removal in Nassau County
Raccoons are among the most challenging wildlife removal situations Nassau County homeowners face. These highly intelligent, physically powerful animals have adapted remarkably well to Nassau County's suburban environment — raiding garbage cans, denning under decks, and accessing attics with impressive destructiveness. Female raccoons seeking maternal den sites in late winter and early spring can pull back ridge cap shingles, tear off inadequate soffit vents, and dismantle fascia to access attic space. Latin American Exterminating provides licensed raccoon removal and professional exclusion for Nassau County properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are raccoons dangerous?
Raccoons can carry rabies, distemper, and raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis). Raccoon feces in attic spaces may contain Baylisascaris eggs that are dangerous to humans. We recommend professional decontamination of raccoon-contaminated attic spaces.
Can I trap raccoons myself in Nassau County?
Trapping raccoons in New York State requires a license from the NY DEC. Unlicensed trapping is illegal. Latin American Exterminating holds all required New York State wildlife removal licenses for Nassau County.
What if a raccoon has young in my attic?
Maternal raccoon situations require specialized handling. We assess the situation and, where young are present, use approaches that allow the mother to relocate her young before permanent exclusion is completed. Young raccoons that can't yet survive independently cannot be excluded without their mother.
Why do raccoons keep coming back to my Nassau County property?
Raccoons return to locations with accessible food (unsecured garbage, pet food, bird feeders), water, and shelter. Eliminating these attractants combined with professional exclusion of potential den sites is the most effective long-term solution.
