Raccoon Removal in Mount Kisco, NY
Mount Kisco sits at the edge of northern Westchester's deep woodland where the surrounding forested landscape drives significant deer tick, rodent, and wildlife pest pressure into residential yards and older homes throughout the village. The town's location near the Saw Mill River headwaters and extensive tree canopy create a continuous corridor of tick habitat that reaches from conservation land directly to backyard borders. Westchester County Pest Control provides effective, family-friendly treatments for Mount Kisco homes and businesses that target seasonal pest activity at every point of entry.
Raccoon Removal in Mount Kisco
Raccoons are among the most destructive wildlife pests in Mount Kisco and across Westchester County. A family of raccoons in your attic can shred insulation, contaminate it with urine and feces, damage HVAC ductwork, and create serious structural damage within weeks. Raccoons are also a primary rabies vector species in New York State — their presence near your family requires immediate, licensed professional intervention. Westchester County Pest Control holds the required NYS DEC Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO) license and specializes in humane raccoon removal and permanent attic exclusion throughout Mount Kisco and all of Westchester County.
Health Risks: Raccoon Latrines & Baylisascaris
Raccoons establish communal latrine sites — both outdoors and in your attic — where feces accumulate over time. Raccoon feces can contain Baylisascaris procyonis, a roundworm whose eggs remain viable in soil for years and can cause serious neurological disease in humans. Professional remediation, not DIY cleanup, is essential. We provide safe attic decontamination and insulation replacement following raccoon removal.
Our Raccoon Removal Process in Mount Kisco
- Inspection: We identify all entry points, assess attic damage, and determine whether a breeding female with kits is present — a critical step that changes our exclusion approach.
- Humane Trapping: Cage traps baited with appropriate attractants, checked daily. All animals are handled and relocated in compliance with NYS DEC regulations.
- One-Way Exclusion Doors: For active dens, one-way exclusion doors allow raccoons to exit but not re-enter. This is the preferred method when kits may be present.
- Attic Exclusion: All entry points sealed with heavy-gauge hardware cloth, flashing, and caulk. Raccoons can force open gaps up to 4 inches wide — our repairs are built to last.
- Attic Remediation: Contaminated insulation removal, decontamination with enzyme cleaners, and insulation replacement available as an add-on service.

Is Westchester County Pest Control licensed for raccoon removal in NY?+
Yes. Westchester County Pest Control holds the required NYS DEC Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO) license for raccoon removal throughout Westchester County and New York State. Raccoons are a designated rabies vector species in NYS — handling them without proper licensing is illegal and dangerous.
When is raccoon breeding season in Westchester County?+
Raccoon breeding season in Westchester County runs from January through March, with kits (baby raccoons) born between March and May. Female raccoons seek warm, dark, enclosed spaces to give birth — your attic is ideal. We strongly recommend exclusion work in late fall before breeding season begins. If a mother raccoon has already established a den in your attic, we use specialized exclusion methods that allow the family to leave without separating kits from the mother.
