Racoon Kit Rescue 2 - Wildlife Works

Raccoon Kit Rescue from Attic in New Home Build | Ocala Wildlife Removal Project

Project Overview

Wildlife Works was contacted by new homeowners in Ocala, Florida after they began hearing persistent chirping noises coming from the attic of their newly built home. The sounds were most noticeable during early morning hours and raised concerns about wildlife activity before move-in.

During our attic inspection, we discovered two raccoon kits nesting in the insulation. Additional monitoring confirmed that the adult female raccoon was no longer present, leaving the kits confined to the attic space without the ability to leave on their own.

Raccoon activity in new construction homes throughout Ocala and Marion County is common due to temporary access points created during the building process. Early identification allowed the issue to be resolved before insulation damage or odor issues developed.

Challenges

Newly constructed homes in Ocala often attract raccoons because of exposed rooflines, unfinished soffits, and low attic disturbance during the final stages of construction. These conditions create ideal denning spaces that can go unnoticed until noise becomes apparent.

This project required:

  • Confirming that no adult raccoon was returning to the attic
  • Locating all juvenile raccoons within the insulation
  • Accessing the attic without creating unnecessary damage
  • Resolving the issue in a single visit for the homeowners

Delayed or incomplete removal can lead to extended attic contamination and continued wildlife activity, especially during peak raccoon season in Central Florida.

Our Approach

Once it was confirmed that only juvenile raccoons were present, our Ocala-based team proceeded with a structured removal process:

  • Conducted a full attic inspection to locate the nesting area
  • Removed both raccoon kits from the attic insulation
  • Transported the kits to a rehabilitation provider specializing in raccoons
  • Verified the attic was clear of all wildlife activity

This approach resolved the issue efficiently and allowed the homeowners to move forward with confidence in their new Ocala home.

Results

  • Two raccoon kits removed from an attic in Ocala
  • Kits transferred to a raccoon rehabilitation specialist
  • Attic cleared of wildlife activity
  • New homeowners able to proceed without further disruption

The project was completed quickly, preventing additional attic damage and eliminating the risk of repeat disturbances.
