Shed Prevention
Tall Timber only uses quality products in their safeguard treatments. Shown here is PVC coated wire mesh to prevent groundhogs, skunks, raccoons, and other critters from entering porches and sheds.
Raccoon Damage and Removal
Damage created by raccoons.
The raccoons have been keeping us busy. We have had a great maternal season with 100% success rate on evictions. We make is so the female with remove the cubs on her own. Repairs can then be made on the home to prevent them from coming back.
During this season, it is time to keep the masked bandits out of bird feeders and garbage cans. We always suggest not feeding wildlife and gettings a good garbage can.
If the raccoons continue to destroy your property, be certain to let us know.

Foundation Vents
Birds, mice, snakes, and bugs can gain access to a home through vents. We use a powder coated steel vent to prevent critters from getting in. The manufacturer warrants from stinging insects to raccoon proof when it is installed correctly. Of course Tall Timber Wildlife knows how to do this for you!
Raccoon Birthing Season
Spring reminds us of new life and hope. New life also reminds us that it is raccoon birthing season. Often we find raccoons living in attics and chimneys. Unfortunately raccoons can be a hazard. Not only can females be aggressive, but they also can bring fleas, ticks, parasites, and diseases into your home. Pictured here is evidence of a raccoon using this home for its outhouse. We humanely removed these two procyonidaes from Greensburg and Latrobe homes. Call Tall Timber for all of your wildlife removal.
More Raccoon Activity
More raccoon activity this season shows a mamma had pups in a chimney. After we performed our eviction services we were able to install a chimney cap to prevent more raccoons from entering.
Raccoon Damage
Raccoon season is upon us. Look at the damage one did on this Greensburg, PA home! No wonder they have a reputation for being bandits. It’s not just their looks they get that nickname for, it is their behavior too! These raccoons removed the siding to gain access to a wall cavity.
Attic Mamma Raccoon and Her Kits
This Greensburg home had raccoons living in the attic space. With our methods, we were able to get the family of coons to leave the first night and NOT return.
Most of the time, a person thinks that they if they call a pest/wildlife control company, the critters will be euthanized. Not the case with Tall Timber Wildlife Services. If at all possible, Tall Timber tries to keep them in the area that they are familiar with but not becoming an issue.
In this video, the female adult raccoon is trying to coax the kit to come down the wall by pulling on it. Climbing things is a new activity for kits and sometimes they need some motherly influence.
Harassment Program
We had a customer in Jeannette, PA call us this past weekend as there was a raccoon terrorizing his roof. Within 24 hours the raccoon was captured and removed. The house is now set up for monitoring.
You can see in the attic photo above, the raccoon ripped up the insulation. Raccoons will also defecate in the attic. Not only will this cause increased energy bills, it will cause odor and sanitary issues as well.
Using thermal imaging, we needed to find the location of the nest. If the raccoon shows to have kits at the time of removal, then we will need to gain access to them in order to remove them as well.
This is the time of year when raccoons begin having their young in attics and chimneys. In the correct scenario, we offer harassment to cause the female to take her kits and leave. The time of year and the age of the kits are important when performing this method. Last year, Tall Timber Wildlife Services had a 100% success rate with our harassment program.
The actual hole that the raccoon created in the roof is shown below.
Thermal Imaging Used to Reveal Critter
We couldn’t see them, but we knew they were in there! This mamma raccoon and her kits were hiding in a Jeanette, PA home’s walls. Thanks to Tall Timber Wildlife and their trusty thermal imaging camera, they were found and successfully evicted with no harm to either mamma nor the kits.
The client decided that they could make necessary repairs to the entry point without the help of Tall Timber Wildlife. Here to serve, Tall Timber never minds accommodating a client’s demands. We are always glad to help in any way we can.
Shingle Damage from Raccoon
Before calling Tall Timber Wildlife Service, our client chased a raccoon off of this Jeannette roof. Apparently, the raccoon wanted to seek revenge by ripping off these shingles before starting to run! Moral of the story be: call Tall Timber Wildlife Service first! We can handle these situations with little to no damage to your assets nor the animals.
