Iowa's climate, characterized by cold winters and warm, humid summers, creates distinct periods of high wildlife activity, particularly for raccoons seeking shelter or food sources. In Davenport and surrounding areas, the typical housing stock, often featuring accessible attics, garages, and outbuildings, provides numerous opportunities for raccoons to establish dens. Our technicians employ humane trapping methods, using species-specific baits and live traps, and conduct thorough inspections to identify and seal all potential entry points with durable materials like metal flashing and reinforced screening, ensuring long-term exclusion.
