The Problem: A homeowner in the serene Tarrytown area of Austin, TX, reported persistent signs of raccoon activity around their property. Observations indicated raccoons were frequently entering and exiting the home's exterior, raising concerns about potential structural damage, contamination, and ongoing nocturnal disturbances. The homeowner sought a professional and humane solution to resolve this wildlife intrusion.

The Solution: Our certified Prickly Pear Wildlife technician conducted a thorough inspection, confirming active raccoon entry and exit points. To ensure a humane resolution, a specialized one-way door was strategically installed at the primary exit point, allowing the raccoons to depart naturally without the possibility of re-entry. Concurrent with this, all identified secondary entry points were meticulously sealed and reinforced with durable materials. Furthermore, eviction fluid was carefully applied around exterior entry points and within the attic space to encourage the raccoons' departure and deter their return, while a camera was set up to monitor activity.

The Outcome: The Prickly Pear team successfully and humanely evicted the raccoons, effectively securing the home against future intrusions. The one-way door system, combined with expert exclusion work and the application of deterrents, provided a robust, long-term solution. The homeowner in Tarrytown now enjoys renewed peace of mind, knowing their property is protected from wildlife damage and the potential health risks associated with animal presence.
