Scarsdale Raccoon Control
Humane Raccoon Removal from a Family-Owned Company Operating Since 1932
When raccoons enter your Scarsdale property, an inspection can identify where they are denning and how they got inside. Parkway Pest Services has provided pest control and wildlife removal services since 1932. As a third-generation, family-owned and operated business, we offer free quotes for residential and commercial properties, and same-day service may be available.

Raccoon Risks & Warning Signs
Nighttime thumping or scratching, disturbed garbage, damaged soffits or roof vents, visible openings, and strong odors can indicate activity around a raccoon den. Avoid approaching or cornering a raccoon, especially one that appears aggressive or behaves abnormally.
Key concerns include:
- Potential Health Concerns: Raccoons can carry diseases, including rabies, roundworms, and leptospirosis. Rabies exposure is a concern when an animal bites or scratches a person or pet, but it doesn’t mean every raccoon is infected.
- Structural Damage: Raccoons can tear shingles, damage roofing materials, rip insulation, and enter attics and crawl spaces through vulnerable openings.
- Contamination: Their droppings and urine can contaminate surfaces, creating unsanitary conditions that may require professional cleanup.
- Aggressive Behavior: When cornered, raccoons can become aggressive, putting people and pets at risk of bites or scratches.
How We Remove Raccoons & Prevent Reentry
At Parkway Pest Services, we provide humane raccoon removal and property-focused wildlife control. Our trained Scarsdale pest control technicians assess the activity, identify likely access points, and recommend an approach based on the conditions at your property.
Inspection & Assessment
We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify entry points, nesting areas, and the extent of the infestation. The findings guide a plan for your property.
Our inspection can help distinguish a temporary visit from an active den and identify conditions that may affect removal or exclusion work. When young animals may be present, that consideration is part of planning the next steps.
Knowledge That Protects Your Home
After removal, these preventative measures can reduce the likelihood of future raccoon activity:
- Secure Garbage Bins: Use trash cans with tight-fitting lids to prevent access to food scraps.
- Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for gaps, holes, or openings around the roofline, soffits, vents, chimneys, and crawl-space areas, then seal them with sturdy materials when no animals are inside.
- Trim Trees and Shrubs: Keep tree branches trimmed back from your roof to limit raccoon access to your attic or chimney. Trimming alone may not resolve an active den.
- Install Fencing: Use fencing around gardens or other areas to deter raccoons from entering.
- Avoid Feeding Wildlife: Don’t leave pet food, birdseed, or other attractants outside overnight.

“My small business was inundated with bees! I called Parkway, got someone on the phone, told her about the problem (she could tell I was a wreck!) Within an hour, a tech was here! He not only took care of the hive outside, but then came inside and took care of that issue AND asked me for a broom, while I was talking with one of my clients, and SWEPT for me!!! I LOVE this company. I highly recommend them.”- C. Petronella
