Raccoon Removal in Lakewood Park, FL
Humane raccoon trapping, hand-removal of spring litters, entry sealing and roundworm-safe attic cleanup — built for Lakewood Park’s older ranch homes and lakeside lots. Same-day, fully documented.
Why raccoons are common in Lakewood Park
In Lakewood Park, homes back up to pine flatwoods and grassy swales north of Fort Pierce, and that woodland edge feeds raccoons straight toward the roof line. Our raccoon removal clears the attic, reunites any kits with the mother, and closes the entries so the tree line no longer leads indoors.
Lakewood Park’s larger lots meet pine flatwoods and oak hammock, and a raccoon travels that cover easily onto screened lanais and rooftops. Retention lakes and Five Mile Creek keep water close, and a female looking for a dry, warm den will work the fascia and vents on a house sitting right against the tree line.
Raccoons are patient and strong-pawed, so a loose vent screen or soft fascia board becomes a doorway overnight. Being nocturnal, the mother slips out to forage the swales and woodland after dark and returns before dawn to the same attic corner where her kits wait.
In spring, a raccoon tearing into a soffit is almost always a mother — trapping her alone strands the kits in the attic. We hand-remove the whole litter.
Signs of a raccoon problem in Lakewood Park
In Lakewood Park, these are the signs it's time to call — before the damage spreads.
Scratching from the tree side
Noise concentrated on the attic wall nearest the pine flatwoods usually marks where a raccoon climbed in from the woodland edge.
Disturbed lanai screens
Bent screen frames or claw marks on a pool cage often show a raccoon testing the structure before moving up to the roof line.
Flattened attic insulation
A matted, hollowed-out nest area in the insulation, sometimes with kits tucked in, means a female has settled in to raise young.

On older ranch homes, these are the first places we check.
Roof edges & soffit returns
The open corners where the soffit meets the roof line are the number-one raccoon entry — they pull the panels down with ease.
Roof & gable vents
Aluminum vent covers are no obstacle; a raccoon bends them aside to slip into the attic.
Chimneys & fascia gaps
Uncapped chimneys and loose fascia boards give agile raccoons a direct route into attics and wall voids.
Keeping raccoons away from Lakewood Park homes
Removing the raccoon is half the work. These steps keep the next one out of your Lakewood Park home.
Screen lanai gaps and vents facing the pine flatwoods with steel mesh before denning season.
Trim any limb overhanging the roof back well clear of the fascia and soffit.
Keep trash secured and bring pet food in overnight so the wood-line raccoons stay wild.
Have fascia and vent covers on the tree-facing side inspected each winter for early damage.
If wildlife returns through a spot we sealed, we come back at no charge. Satisfaction Guaranteed — If our exclusion fails, we take responsibility.
The health risks a raccoon leaves behind
Why the cleanup matters as much as the removal.
Roundworm (Baylisascaris)
Raccoon latrines can contain Baylisascaris eggs, which are hazardous to people and pets and require protected cleanup.
Rabies & leptospirosis
Raccoons are a rabies-vector species in Florida and can shed leptospira in urine — never corner or handle one.
