Raccoon calls in Yardley come from two places about equally: an attic that suddenly has thumping overhead at dusk, and a crawl space or foundation vent that shows fresh digging or a torn skirting panel. We start by finding the actual entry point rather than guessing, since a raccoon that got into a historic district roofline got in a different way than one working a Lower Makefield foundation vent.
Once the entry point is confirmed, we go with humane methods to get the raccoons out. A one-way door fitted over the main opening lets any raccoon still coming and going step out to forage as usual, but the flap will not swing back inward, so the den sits empty within a night or two. A mother with young that cannot yet travel gets handled through trapping instead, since sealing an active den with animals still inside is not an option. Nothing about the process involves poison or bait. Once the space is confirmed empty, every opening gets closed for good, on the roofline and at ground level both.
What is left behind still needs attention. Raccoon droppings and urine soak into insulation fast, in an attic or under a crawl space liner, and that material gets removed and the space sanitized as part of the same job. The estimate covers both the exclusion work and whatever cleanup the attic or crawl space actually needs, in writing, before the crew starts.
Six services that often follow a Yardley raccoon call. Every job starts with a free inspection.
A handful of situations explain most of the raccoon calls we get around Yardley.
A raccoon is a strong climber and does not need much of a foothold to reach a Yardley roofline, a downspout, a low tree limb or a trellis will usually do the job. Once it is up there, an old soffit vent or a spot where the fascia has pulled loose is often the last obstacle standing between the roof and the attic floor.
A raccoon at ground level looks for the same kind of weakness a roofline offers: a torn skirting panel, a foundation vent with a broken screen, or a crawl space door that does not sit tight. Lower Makefield's crawl space foundations see this as often as the historic district's older masonry does.
Whether a raccoon is working an attic or a crawl space, insulation is usually the first thing it disturbs, pushed aside for a den site and soiled with droppings and urine in the process. That material almost always needs to be removed rather than reused.
A hard freeze or an early winter storm is often what sends a raccoon looking for a warmer den, and a Yardley attic or crawl space reads as shelter the moment the temperature drops. Removal calls tend to cluster around those cold snaps for exactly that reason.
Better insulation. Sealed gaps. Cleaner air. Lower bills.

Master Attic did a phenomenal job with our attic insulation and duct replacement. We had a loss from smoke damage from a neighboring fire and we were met with compassion and excellent customer service from Danny Jones and Jorge Diaz. We chose them for their quality of work, expertise and fair pricing and they got the job done promptly. Thank you for the excellent work and we will be recommending you highly!
We just had our attic insulation replaced, and the entire experience was pleasant from start to finish. Robert is knowledgeable, honest and easy to work with at the initial estimate period. Roberta and his crew did a great job replacing the attic insulation for our house. They were very professional, efficient and respectful. They did everything that needed to be done and left the space clean and in excellent condition. I am very happy that I chose Master Attic and would highly recommend them.
Dan Jones and the Ronald crew did a great job from start to finish! I had original insulation in my attic with no electricity, not an easy job. Our upstairs was very hot in the summer and cold in winter. With having central air, we still needed AC units and space heaters to manage. Dan set up a great plan to eliminate that. He and his crew were able to come and finish the job shortly after we first met. They were quick, clean and managed to crawl into small spaces to remove old insulation and install fresh insulation. We have already noticed a major difference! Highly recommended!!
We hired Master Attic to clean out debris, mice, old insulation, and replace with new insulation in both our attic spaces. Roberto and his crew did a phenomenal job. They were extremely professional, polite, and did a fantastic job. They invited my husband to see the attic after each step, and took pictures on their phone to show me since I could not get up in the attic. They took the time to protect the space with plastic sheeting before the job up in the attic, and then cleaned up everything perfectly afterwards. I highly recommend them!
Great job by the team. Cleaned out the entire attic and replaced all the old insulation with new fresh insulation. Made a huge difference. Alex was great to work with and was very professional. Would highly recommend.
Awesome experience from start to finish. Rob provided a great assessment and capabilities overview, arrived on time and was very generous and thorough in explaining the work. I signed on the spot. A crew of six arrived (again, on time) and completely transformed our attic space - thoroughly cleaned out the old insulation (looked spotless afterwards), sanitized the space, sealed it/rodent proofed it, added baffles and of course, replaced the insulation and added more in areas that needed it. Completed the whole job in half a day and we are delighted with the result. Thank you, Master Attic team, for a job very well done! Highest recommendation.
What a great experience I had with this company and its employees. It started with initially interacting with Joe who came out for the estimate. He was funny because he came down from my attic and said "have you seen up there". I laughed because I had and I knew it was bad. He was no pressure and no nonsense. Gave me an estimate and said if I wanted we could have the work done next day. I wasn't ready for that but after some schedule juggling I told him we could be ready. Joe had his guys out next morning with the best part being Jorge calling me to advise he was about thirty minutes out. I appreciate when I am given a heads up as to ETA. Three of them arrived Jorge set out plastic and covered exposed furniture. Jorge, Angel and Gonzalo were all polite and worked hard to complete the task. They worked efficiently and were done quickly. Jorge made sure he included me in each step of the process and when I saw the finished product I was amazed. I can actually use my attic for storage if I choose to do so. I did not realize when they were here that they also do work on crawlspace areas. I will be calling them back to see what they can do for my crawlspace which easily rivals the diasaster called my attic. I recommend at least giving this company and its employees an opportunity to help you.
Great company to work with. From beginning to end, Dan came out, spent plenty of time with me going over everything that needed to be done, and the process of everything that needed to be updated it both attics. His professionalism was top notch, answered all my question and concerns. When it came time for George and his six-man crew to do the work their quality of workmanship was well above average, they were here the whole day, and I don't think they even had a lunch break (hopefully I don't get him in trouble). They all worked and everyone knew what their job was, they removed all the insulation, cleaned, spray foamed all holes and top plates, re-insulated both attics and cleaned up like they weren't even here. Will definitely use them again.
Master Attic remediated a bat issue for us back in October and I can’t say enough about what a wonderful job they did. The work was guaranteed and they encouraged us to call if we say any further evidence of bats. Well, there were a few droppings in the attic and they quickly responded to our concerns. Jose’s crew came out on a SUNDAY, inspected the attic, and sealed up several spots that could be entry points. They were professional, efficient, and kind. I would highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.
We locate the entry point before anything else, whether that means a gap along the roofline for an attic or a torn skirting panel and broken vent screen down at a crawl space. From there, a one-way door lets a raccoon step out on its usual schedule but keeps it from getting back inside, or we trap directly when young are involved and cannot yet leave under their own power. Poison and bait play no part in any of it.
It depends on what is involved. A raccoon coming and going on its own typically leaves under its own power once the one-way door goes up, while a den with young, or a cleanup job layered on top, stretches things out further. A real timeframe comes only once the den and the entry point have been seen in person.
The tree cover and older building stock close to the canal and the historic district do give raccoons more climbing routes onto a roofline than a newer, more open Lower Makefield lot might, but we see raccoon calls across both areas. The mature trees through Lower Makefield's developments bring their own share of activity.
In almost every case, yes. Droppings and urine soak into the fibers fast enough that a surface cleaning will not fix it, so the affected material comes out, the space underneath gets sanitized, and fresh insulation goes in once everything is sealed. This applies the same way whether the den was in an attic or a crawl space.
The door design depends on every raccoon in the den being able to climb out and use it on their own. Young too small to leave the den under their own power would end up shut inside if we relied on a one-way door, so a mother with a litter gets handled through trapping instead, keeping the family together through the process.
The opening itself gets closed once the space is confirmed empty, using materials sturdy enough that raccoons cannot tear or pry them loose again. That step matters as much as the removal itself, whether the gap in question is a soffit above an attic or an opening at ground level below the house.
Yes. Langhorne, Washington Crossing and Newtown sit on our regular route, along with Middletown Township, Morrisville and Bensalem further into Bucks County. Raccoons do not stop at a town line, and neither does the crew that handles them.
It can, usually by tearing through skirting or working a vent rather than going through the barrier itself. An encapsulated crawl space resists entry better than an open one, but any gap at ground level is still worth checking if you are hearing activity below the house.
