Raccoons are intelligent and adaptable creatures known for their mischievous behavior and ability to cause havoc around homes and properties. If you’re facing raccoon-related issues in Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR, Wayfare Pest Solutions is your go-to expert for professional raccoon trapping and prevention services. Below, we’ll explore the effective methods employed by Wayfare Pest Solutions to safely evict or trap raccoons and highlight solutions for preventing future raccoon invasions.
Our Unique Approach To Raccoon Control Services
1. Eviction
In the spring, you may encounter the problem of a mother racoon choosing your crawlspace or attic as an acceptable place to have her kits. Trapping in this case can be unnecessary, as deterrents such as our raccoon eviction fluid or strobe lights usually encourage the mother to pick up her kits and leave. Once we haven’t heard or seen any new activity for a few days, we’ll use durable materials to repair and seal any entry points into your home like crawlspace vents or construction gaps. This process ensures the least stress and strife for the animals, and the most safety for all involved parties. If eviction fails to work, however, we are prepared to venture into your crawlspace or attic and remove the kits by hand. The mother raccoon will usually leave on her own after that, but if she doesn’t, we move to trapping.
2. live trapping
Wayfare Pest Solutions uses live traps designed specifically for raccoons. These traps are strategically placed in areas where raccoon activity is most prevalent, ensuring optimal capture rates while avoiding harm to other wildlife. Baiting for raccoons can be an interesting process because of the way raccoons’ “natural” diet has evolved as they integrate with humans, but our technicians are trained to set bait and traps in a manner that reduces non-target captures. Captured raccoons are removed within 24 hours, as quickly as possible.
3. Prevention
Once monitors ensure no raccoons are present within a structure, we use durable materials like steel to repair the damage or gap in your home that allowed a raccoon to make it’s way in in the first place. We also advise on preventative measures to deter raccoons from your property, such as securing possible food and water sources, trimming back branches that allow an animal to walk onto your roof, or fencing to keep them from your yard.

We used Wayfare for some birds who decided to nest in our attic. The technicians arrived on time and were very knowledgeable. They did a through inspection of our attic and showed me the areas of concern. They communicated continuously throughout and did a fantastic job helping us. I will definitely call them again for any needs we have in the future. I want to mention they were also the most affordable option with one other company quoting us over a thousand more. I highly recommend them!– Erin H. in Vancouver, WA.
Fast response and service! Mark came right out when I had wasps in my house suddenly. I was concerned there was a nest in my attic. He was thorough and checked the attic and outside eaves and sprayed and explained what was going on. I was grateful, the price was fair, and I highly recommend Wayfare.– Dee B. in Vancouver, WA
A while back, I contacted Mark about a mole problem I had been experiencing. He sent someone over who showed me how to set some traps. Eventually, I figured out how to do it and caught my first mole. The service was professional and effective. Mark and his staff are excellent, professional, and just good at what they do.– Jeremy H. in Vancouver, WA
