Raccoon Removal in Grand Junction
When Raccoons Move into Your Home, Property Damage Can Escalate Quickly
Hearing loud thumping in the attic or noticing torn roof vents often indicates raccoons have entered. In Grand Junction neighborhoods, where many homes have crawl spaces, garages, sheds, or older ranch-style designs, raccoons can find small gaps along rooflines and quickly turn them into entry points. Once inside, they often settle in attics or wall spaces, where they can cause structural damage and mess.
At Jerry's Pest Control, our team approaches raccoon problems with a clear process built on decades of experience serving Western Colorado. We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to locate entry points, identify activity areas, and determine the safest removal approach. Our licensed technicians focus on resolving the immediate issue while helping you understand how raccoons gained access to the structure and what steps can reduce the risk of a repeat intrusion.
If you suspect raccoon activity around your home, scheduling an inspection allows our team to evaluate the situation and recommend the next steps. Contact us at (970) 293-4999 for professional assistance in Grand Junction.

Warning Signs That Raccoons May Be Living in Your Attic or Crawl Space
Many homeowners first notice raccoon activity before they see the animal itself. Raccoons usually move during evening and nighttime hours, so early warning signs often include sounds or unusual activity in the upper parts of the home.
Signs that raccoons may be inside your property include:
- Heavy scratching or thumping noises in the attic
- Activity that increases at night
- Visible damage around roof vents or roof edges
- Droppings or unusual odors near attic spaces
- Pets reacting to sounds inside walls or ceilings
When these signs appear, a professional inspection helps identify whether raccoons or other wildlife are present. Our team evaluates the structure, confirms the activity's source, and outlines the appropriate next steps.
Our Property Inspection Process for Raccoon Problems
Effective wildlife removal begins with understanding how animals entered the structure. Our inspection process helps us evaluate the property and develop a plan to address current raccoon activity and the conditions that allowed entry.
Our process typically includes:
- Property assessment – Our technicians examine rooflines, vents, crawl spaces, and surrounding structures for wildlife activity.
- Entry point identification – We locate gaps or structural vulnerabilities raccoons may be using to access the building.
- Removal strategy planning – Based on our findings, we determine a safe removal approach.
- Prevention recommendations – We explain steps that may help reduce the chances of wildlife returning.
Because each property is unique, our team creates customized solutions instead of using one-size-fits-all approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Raccoon Removal
Raccoon activity inside a home can raise many questions. The answers below address some of the most common concerns homeowners have when they suspect wildlife intrusion.
How Do Raccoons Get into Attics?
Raccoons usually enter through roof vents, damaged soffits, or gaps along the roofline. Because they are strong climbers, they can access upper parts of the home and widen existing openings to gain entry.
Are Raccoons Dangerous to Have around Your Home?
Raccoons can pose health and property risks when they live inside buildings. Their droppings and nesting materials may pollute attic spaces, and they can damage insulation, vents, or other parts of the structure.
Can Raccoons Return after Removal?
Raccoons might return if entry points remain open. Figuring out how animals got in helps prevent them from getting back in.
When Should You Call a Wildlife Removal Professional?
You should contact a wildlife professional if you hear persistent attic noises, notice roof damage, or suspect animals are living inside your home. An inspection helps identify the source of the activity and the proper response.
