Raccoon Trapping in Reno, NV
Reliable raccoon trapping from Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC — licensed, insured, and local to Reno. Contact us any time to get started.
Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC traps and removes raccoons from Reno homes, then seals the entry points so the next raccoon can't take the same route back in. Raccoons in the Truckee Meadows are not evenly spread across town — they follow water and cover. Properties near the Truckee River greenbelt, along Steamboat Creek, and beside the seasonal irrigation ditches that run through the Old Southwest, Hidden Valley and south Reno see far more raccoon pressure than a house sitting in the open sage on the north end. Mature cottonwoods, silver maples and Chinese elms in the older neighborhoods give raccoons a highway to the roofline, and once they're up there a vented gable end or a loose soffit is an open door.
The reason to call quickly is that a raccoon does not just occupy a space — it remodels it. A single adult in a Reno crawlspace will shred the vapor barrier, pull batt insulation off the floor joists, chew on ductwork and PVC, and establish a latrine in one corner that can carry raccoon roundworm. In an attic, the same animal flattens blown-in insulation and soils drywall. Reno's freeze-thaw winter makes that worse: torn crawlspace insulation and a wrecked vapor barrier mean cold floors, higher heating bills, and pipes running in a space that no longer holds heat the way it was built to. Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC offers free inspections and free estimates, and same-day service is available across Reno, Sparks, Sun Valley and Spanish Springs.
What Raccoon Trapping Includes
Raccoon trapping from Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC is a full removal-and-repair job, not a rented trap left on the lawn. Every job starts with a free inspection of the roofline, foundation vents, crawlspace, attic, chimney, deck skirting and any outbuildings, because finding how the animal gets in matters more than catching the one animal you can hear at 2 a.m.
A typical Reno raccoon job includes:
We are licensed and insured, we do not use subcontractors, and the crew that inspects your home is the crew that does the work.
Signs You Need Raccoon Trapping
The clearest sign of a raccoon in a Reno home is heavy, deliberate movement overhead or underfoot — raccoons sound nothing like mice. Homeowners describe it as someone walking in the attic, dragging something, or thumping against the subfloor. Rodents scurry and scratch; a raccoon lands.

Our Raccoon Trapping Process
Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC follows the same order on every Reno raccoon job: identify, remove, seal, verify.
1. Free inspection. We confirm the species, count the likely number of animals, determine whether kits are present, and map every entry point. In Reno that usually means checking foundation vents and the crawlspace first on older homes, and the roofline, gable vents and vent stacks first on the 1980s–2000s tract homes in Sparks, Sun Valley and Spanish Springs.
2. Upfront written estimate. You get the price and the scope before work starts. No hidden fees, and financing is available.
3. Removal. Depending on the situation we use live cage traps sized for raccoons or one-way doors that let the animal exit and not return. One-way doors are only appropriate when we are confident no dependent kits are inside — during spring denning season we work differently, because sealing a mother out of her kits creates a far worse problem than the one you called about.
4. Monitoring. Traps are checked on a set schedule and handling is done in accordance with Nevada Department of Wildlife rules. Our team is background-checked, and crews are expected to be clean and respectful on your property.
5. Exclusion and sealing. This is the step that actually ends the problem. Entry points are sealed with heavy-gauge galvanized materials fastened into solid framing — not foam, not screen, not hardware store patch jobs.
6. Crawlspace and damage follow-up. Where raccoons have destroyed the vapor barrier or fouled a crawlspace, we can replace the vapor barrier as part of the job.
7. Verification. We come back and confirm the activity has stopped, and the workmanship warranty backs the exclusion work.
Materials & Options
Raccoons are strong, dexterous and persistent, so raccoon exclusion in Reno uses structural materials rather than pest-control materials. A raccoon can peel back standard aluminum window screen, ordinary insect screening over a foundation vent, and thin galvanized mesh with its hands.
What we use and why it suits Reno homes:
We also handle rodent exclusion, rodent sealing and bird netting, so if the inspection turns up roof rats, mice or pigeons using the same gaps — which happens often on Reno properties — we can address the whole envelope in one plan instead of sending you to a second company.
What Affects the Cost
Raccoon trapping is priced by the job, and Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC gives free estimates with upfront pricing and no hidden fees, so you'll know the number before anything starts. We won't publish a flat price here because two Reno houses on the same street can be very different jobs.
The honest cost factors:
Financing is available, and we offer senior and military discounts.

Rodent & Wildlife Services LLC has 10 years in this trade and works this region every day, which is the difference between catching a raccoon and solving a raccoon problem.

Our approach to raccoons is humane, and it is built around Reno's actual conditions: spring denning season, crawlspace-heavy older housing stock, vented attics on the newer tract homes, and the water corridors that concentrate wildlife in specific neighborhoods.
