Humane Raccoon Removal in Houston, TX
Raccoons are common across Houston, from the wooded streets of Memorial to older homes in the Heights. Drawn by bayous, tall live oaks, and easy food sources, they often slip into attics, crawl spaces, and chimneys, especially in spring when mothers look for safe places to raise their kits. At AJ Pest control Services, we remove raccoons using humane methods that protect both your family and the animals.
Our team inspects your property, locates entry points, and uses live traps or one-way exclusion doors to guide raccoons out safely. We follow Texas Parks and Wildlife Department guidelines and never leave babies behind. Once the animals are gone, we seal openings, repair damaged vents or soffits, and clean contaminated insulation to reduce health risks like roundworm and leptospirosis. If you are dealing with other wildlife entering your property, our wildlife removal services can help address additional animal intrusion problems. Call us for safe, lasting raccoon control.
Our Services
A raccoon in the roof is rarely the only thing going on up there. Here is everything we handle and how each connects to a raccoon problem.
Roach Control
Raccoon waste and soiled insulation create the food and moisture source that draws cockroaches into an attic. Once the wildlife side is resolved we identify the species and treat the harborage rather than spraying surfaces.
Rodent Control
Raccoon damage opens the roofline wide, and rats move into the same attic through the gaps a raccoon left behind. We trap the population and seal those openings with materials rodents cannot gnaw through.
Spider Control
An attic with animal activity supports insects, and insects support spiders, which is why post-wildlife attics often hold heavy webbing. We identify what is present, remove webs and egg sacs, and reduce the insect base.
Wildlife Removal
Our category hub covering the full process that applies to any animal in a structure, from inspection through exclusion to attic restoration. Worth reading if you are not yet certain what is up there or you want the complete picture of how these jobs run.
Raccoon Removal
The service on this page. Inspection for entry points and dependent young, humane removal of the whole family together, repair of the torn soffit or vent they came through, and sanitation of the areas they used. Timing is set by the nesting calendar rather than by our schedule.
Squirrel Removal
The other common attic animal in Houston and often confused with raccoons at first. Squirrels are smaller, active in daylight rather than at night, and use much smaller openings. Their removal and sealing work is covered on the squirrel page.

Our Process
Inspect the roof and check for young
We work the roofline, soffits, vents and chimney to find the entry point, then inspect the attic for the den site, latrine areas and any sign of a litter. Whether kits are present decides the entire method, so this comes before anything else.
Remove the family together
With no young present, a one-way door usually lets the adult leave on its own. Where a litter is present, the kits are removed by hand and used to draw the mother out, so nothing is separated and nothing is left behind.
Repair, seal and sanitize
We rebuild the damaged soffit or fascia, fit heavy gauge screening and metal flashing to the vents and openings, cap the chimney, then assess the contamination and remove soiled insulation where it is warranted.

Raccoon Removal from Chimneys in Houston, TX
Chimneys offer raccoons a dark, quiet shelter that feels like a hollow tree, making them a favorite denning spot in Houston homes. Mother raccoons often give birth on the smoke shelf, and you may hear chirping, scratching, or movement near the fireplace. Never light a fire to drive them out, as this can harm the animals and create dangerous smoke buildup inside your home.
AJ Pest control Services safely removes raccoons and their kits from chimneys using gentle, hands-on techniques and specialized tools. We carefully reunite babies with their mother outside whenever possible. After removal, we inspect the flue and damper for damage, clear out nesting debris and droppings, and install a sturdy stainless steel chimney cap. This simple upgrade keeps raccoons, birds, and squirrels from returning to your Houston home.
Raccoon Trapping and Removal in Houston, TX
Trapping is often the most effective way to remove raccoons that have settled in your yard, garage, or attic. At AJ Pest control Services, we use humane live traps designed to capture raccoons without causing injury. Our technicians study activity patterns, tracks, and droppings to place traps in the right locations for faster results. We check traps daily, which is especially important during hot Houston summers when heat can quickly stress trapped animals.
All trapping follows Texas Parks and Wildlife Department rules and local Harris County ordinances. Once captured, raccoons are handled with care and relocated or released according to state law. We also look for signs of kits to make sure no babies are left behind. Finally, we seal entry points so new raccoons cannot move in and cause future problems. If squirrels are also getting into your attic or roofline, our squirrel removal services can provide specialized exclusion and removal.

About Us
AJ Pest Control Services is a locally owned pest control and wildlife removal company proudly serving northwest Houston and surrounding areas. On every raccoon job, we check for kits before setting a single trap. Removing a nesting mother at the wrong time can leave babies trapped inside your walls or attic, creating a much bigger problem than the one you started with. Call or text (832) 538-7583 today.
Areas We Are Serving
We provide raccoon removal throughout Houston and ten surrounding communities in Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties. Raccoon activity tends to follow tree canopy and water sources more than anything else. The Woodlands sees the heaviest activity in our service area, where dense, mature trees grow right up against rooflines and give raccoons an easy bridge onto the roof without ever touching the ground. Spring and Tomball follow closely for the same reason. In Humble and neighborhoods near Lake Houston, nearby water adds even more pressure, since raccoons are strongly drawn to it. In Cypress and Katy, new construction on cleared land often displaces raccoons from their natural habitat, pushing them into attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces of newly built homes.
We offer the fastest response times in Cypress and the northwest Houston corridor, where our team is based. Call us with your zip code, and we will confirm the next available appointment in your area.
