You Hear Something Moving Around in Your Attic?
If you hear thumping, scratching, or chattering above your ceiling at night, there's a good chance a raccoon has moved in. Raccoons are one of the most common wildlife calls in Georgetown, TX — and one of the most damaging animals that can get into your home.
Critter Wrangler provides expert, humane raccoon removal throughout Georgetown and Williamson County. We locate them, trap them, remove them, and seal up every entry point so they can never come back.
Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Georgetown, TX
Georgetown's mix of older neighborhoods, wooded creek corridors, and suburban green belts make it ideal raccoon habitat. In Central Texas, raccoon populations are dense and year-round active — they don't hibernate.
- Attic damage — they tear insulation, chew wiring, and create nesting cavities
- Contamination — raccoon latrines carry Baylisascaris (raccoon roundworm) and leptospirosis
- Structural entry — raccoons can pry open roof sections, ridge vents, and soffits
- Deck and crawl space dens — they'll den under decks, porches, and HVAC units
How Critter Wrangler Removes Raccoons
- Free Inspection We walk your entire property — roof, attic, crawl space, perimeter — identifying entry points, raccoon signs, and how many animals are present.
- Humane Trapping We set live cage traps at active entry points and travel routes, checked daily. All raccoons are relocated per Texas Parks & Wildlife (TPWD) guidelines.
- Baby Season Protocol If it's nesting season (January–May in Central Texas), we check for litters before trapping the mother and remove the entire family together.
- Full Exclusion Sealing After all animals are removed, we seal every entry point with commercial-grade galvanized hardware cloth, metal flashing, and foam backer.
- Cleanup (Optional) Raccoon latrines contain dangerous pathogens. We offer attic cleanup, feces removal, and insulation replacement as an add-on.
Signs You Have a Raccoon Problem
- Loud thumping or walking sounds in attic (especially at night)
- Torn soffit panels or damaged ridge vents
- Knocked-over trash cans
- Muddy paw prints on your roof, downspouts, or deck railings
- Strong ammonia smell from attic or crawl space
- Visible raccoon feces (dark, tubular, about the size of a cat's)

Georgetown Neighborhoods & Hotspots
Our raccoon calls come from every part of Georgetown, but certain areas see consistently higher activity:
- San Gabriel River corridor — dense riparian vegetation along the river and Brushy Creek provides ideal raccoon habitat. Neighborhoods adjacent to the river corridor see some of our highest call volumes.
- Blue Hole Regional Park area — homes near Jacob's Well Road and Blue Hole see heavy raccoon pressure from the park's wildlife population pushing into surrounding yards and rooftops.
- Sun City Georgetown — Georgetown's large 55+ community frequently reports raccoon intrusions. The mature tree canopy and proximity to open space make it prime denning territory.
- Inner Space Cavern / I-35 corridor — wooded hillsides along the highway harbor large raccoon populations that range into nearby subdivisions.
- Historic downtown / Georgetown Square area — older homes near the historic district have more construction gaps, rotted fascia, and aging soffits that raccoons exploit as entry points.
- Lake Georgetown / North Fork area — lakefront properties and wooded corridors near the lake see significant wildlife pressure year-round.
