Raccoons are strong, smart and stubborn. Once one finds a weak spot in your roof, it keeps working at it until it’s inside. If you’re hearing heavy thumps overhead at night, you need raccoon removal in Kissimmee, FL that deals with the animal, the damage and the mess. That’s what we do.
Licensed & insured. Free inspection. Humane removal and sealing.
Primitive Wildlife Solutions is a local outfit working across Osceola County. We trap raccoons humanely, find out exactly how they got in, seal it up and clean the attic. No guesswork and no half jobs. Every visit starts with a look at the whole property, because raccoons rarely stop at one hole.
Raccoon Removal Kissimmee FL: How the Job Works
Every raccoon job starts with a full inspection. We check the roof, soffits, roof returns, vents, chimney and the ground around the house. Raccoons leave clear signs: torn soffit panels, bent vent covers, muddy prints on stucco and greasy rub marks.
- Humane trapping. Traps go in the right spot and get checked regularly.
- Legal release. Captured raccoons are released or humanely handled within 24 hours, following FWC rules.
- Repair and seal. We close the entry and reinforce weak spots nearby.
- Attic cleanup. Droppings and soiled insulation are removed and the area is sanitized.
Spring Means Babies in the Attic
In spring, female raccoons look for a safe den to raise kits. A quiet attic is perfect. If only the mother gets trapped, the young are left behind to starve, and you’ll smell it. Worse, a mother cut off from her kits will tear through almost anything to get back to them.
We check for young before we set a plan. When kits are present, we remove the whole family together. That’s more humane, and it keeps your roof from being torn open twice.
Local Homes and Their Raccoon Entry Points
The older concrete-block homes around Downtown Kissimmee and Broadway often have wood fascia and soffits that have softened over the years. Raccoons pull those apart with ease. Roof returns, where a lower roof edge meets a wall, are another favorite on these homes.
Newer subdivisions in Remington and off John Young Parkway have their own weak points. Soffit vents and thin vinyl soffit panels can be pushed in by a determined raccoon. Vacation rentals near US-192 often have trash sitting out between guest turnovers, which pulls raccoons right up to the house.
Raccoon Roundworm and Other Health Risks
Raccoon droppings aren’t just gross. They can carry raccoon roundworm, a parasite that can make people and pets sick. Raccoons tend to use the same spot over and over as a latrine, so an attic can build up a big pile fast. Don’t sweep or vacuum it yourself.
Rabies is also present in Florida raccoons. A raccoon that acts confused or shows no fear of people should be left alone. Never corner one or try to move it yourself. Keep pets inside and call a professional.
Raccoons Under Decks, Sheds and Around the Trash
Not every raccoon problem is in the roof. Raccoons also den under decks, sheds and raised additions. They raid garbage cans, pet food and bird feeders. Homes near Shingle Creek and the wooded edges of retention ponds see plenty of this traffic. A few habits make a big difference:
- Keep garbage in a closed garage or in cans with locking lids.
- Feed pets indoors and bring bowls in at night.
- Trim tree limbs back from your roof line.
- Block gaps under decks and sheds with sturdy material.
- Cap your chimney if you have one.
Cleanup and Repairs That Last
After the raccoons are out, the attic needs work. Insulation gets flattened and soiled, and ducts can be torn. Our attic wildlife removal service removes contaminated material and sanitizes the space. Then the entry gets sealed with materials raccoons can’t easily rip through, as part of our wildlife exclusion work.
If squirrels have been using the same gaps, we’ll tell you. Our squirrel removal crew handles those too, so one inspection covers the whole roof.
What to Do if a Raccoon Gets Inside Tonight
If a raccoon makes it past the attic and into a garage, closet or living area, don’t chase it. Open an exterior door if you can do it without getting close, then shut the interior doors so it can’t go deeper into the house. Keep dogs and cats in another room and give the animal a quiet path out.
If it won’t leave, or it looks sick or hurt, call our 24/7 line. Since we’re based in Kissimmee, a crew can usually be there fast, day or night.

Raccoon Removal Questions from Kissimmee Homeowners
How fast can you get to a raccoon in my Kissimmee attic?
We’re based in town, so we can usually respond quickly anywhere from Buenaventura Lakes to the lakefront. We also take wildlife emergency calls 24/7. If a raccoon has broken through into your living space, close that room off, keep pets away and call (904) 729-6285.
Will you relocate the raccoon far away?
Florida law limits where raccoons can go. FWC allows release on the property where it was captured, or relocation to a site of at least 40 contiguous acres in the same county with the landowner’s written permission, within 24 hours. That’s why sealing the entry matters so much. Without repairs, the same raccoon or another one comes right back.
Can I just close the hole once the raccoon leaves at night?
It’s risky. You may not know whether every raccoon left, and in spring there could be kits inside. A raccoon that’s shut in will chew or tear its way out, often through a ceiling or a fresh section of soffit. Let us confirm the attic is empty before anything gets sealed.
Do raccoons get into screened pool cages in Kissimmee?
Yes. Raccoons climb well and will tear a screen panel to reach a pool deck, especially if there’s food, trash or a pet bowl nearby. If you find muddy prints on your deck or fresh tears in the screen, the raccoon is likely living close by, possibly in your own roof or under a shed.
