Reading the evidence
Burbank homeowners often call after hearing a weighty walk across a roof, a repeated thump above a ceiling, scraping near a vent or movement below a raised floor. A raccoon can use the outside of a building without entering it, so Arman separates a travel route from an active den. The inspection looks for a physical connection between what you heard and an accessible opening rather than treating every rooftop sound as proof that the attic is occupied.
Exterior signs may include a shifted vent screen, a damaged corner under an eave, disturbance near a crawl-space access, paw marks, droppings or a repeated path along a wall, fence or alley edge. Inside, a visible opening, compressed material, odor or noise location can help narrow the problem. An animal may also move between a detached garage and the main house, which makes it important to say which roof or building is involved.
Short, high-pitched sounds can suggest dependent young, particularly during spring and summer. That changes the order of work because a visible hole cannot simply be closed while a family remains inside. Tell Arman if the noise is clustered in one corner, if an adult appears around the same time each evening, or if activity changed suddenly after construction or a vent repair.
Burbank property conditions
Homes near the Verdugo Mountains and Burbank Hills can sit against rising ground, mature landscaping or retaining features that shorten the distance to a roof edge. The uphill elevation matters: a route that looks difficult from the front may be straightforward from the back or side. Arman compares grade, branches, wall tops and roof intersections before deciding whether a raccoon is only crossing the property or entering the structure.
In the Rancho district, mature trees, equestrian-style lots and accessory structures can create several sheltered areas, while Magnolia Park contains many established homes with garages, alleys and older building details. Those features are not problems by themselves. They simply mean the inspection should distinguish the main attic, a garage roof, a porch void and the under-house area instead of assuming one sound explains every part of the parcel.
Raised foundations deserve their own pass. A damaged vent or loose access door at ground level can lead below the house even when the homeowner first notices noise through a wall. Alley-facing garages and trash areas can draw nighttime visits without proving entry. Photos or video showing the direction an animal arrives from can help connect the outside pattern to the opening Arman later checks.
Season also matters. During the period when young may be dependent, Brave Guys looks for accessible signs before recommending a one-way door or repair. The objective is to clear the occupied area in an orderly way and avoid turning a simple opening into a trapped-animal problem inside a Burbank home.
How we work
Brave Guys begins with a free raccoon inspection, checks for young, and explains the removal and repair sequence before equipment is placed.
Arman compares the roof, attic, garage, raised foundation or outside route connected to the evidence. Accessible openings and signs are documented, and dependent young are considered before a method is selected.
One trap for up to two weeks has a $200 setup plus $150 per animal caught. A one-way door is $450 flat when the verified opening and structure make it suitable. You approve the option after the difference is explained.
A repair is not used to trap an animal inside. Activity and accessible evidence guide the timing, and capture is never promised. Arman explains follow-up and equipment timing for the chosen scope.
Exclusion, cleanup and extra equipment are separate quotes. Specific qualifying openings repaired by Brave Guys may carry a one-year exclusion-repair warranty; the written warranty page controls the terms.
Preparing for the visit
Start with the exact Burbank address and the building involved. On properties with an alley garage, guest unit, stable area or detached structure, specify whether the sound comes from the main house or another roof. Explain when the animal appears, which direction it travels and whether the noise is above a room or beneath the floor. Those details help separate an exterior visitor from an animal using an enclosed space.
A photo from ground level can be useful if it shows a loose vent, roof corner, crawl-space opening or branch touching the structure. Do not stand in an alley traffic lane, climb onto a roof, open a damaged vent or reach beneath a deck to get a closer image. Keep dogs and cats indoors or on the opposite side of the property while the suspected route is active.
Make sure Arman can reach the agreed gate, attic hatch or exterior foundation access. If the building is tenant-occupied or alley parking blocks a garage wall, arrange access in advance. Finished ceilings, sealed wall cavities, unsafe roof pitches and blocked crawl-space areas can limit direct inspection, so any inaccessible area is identified rather than presented as fully checked.
Confirmed pricing
The raccoon inspection in Burbank is free. The trapping structure is $200 to set one trap for up to two weeks, then $150 for every animal caught. Under that structure, one animal is $350 total and two are $500. Wildlife behavior cannot be guaranteed, so the setup price does not guarantee a capture.
Where the verified opening, construction and animal situation support exclusion, a one-way door is $450 flat regardless of how many animals are inside. It is an alternative removal method, not an automatic fit for every roof, crawl space or family group. Arman explains the recommendation and lets you decide.
Repairs to entry points, cleanup and any extra equipment are priced separately because the scope depends on access and construction. You see and approve that scope before work. Estimates are free. If a particular address would carry a travel charge, it is confirmed before dispatch rather than added without notice.

Brave Guys Inc. has one business location at 633 N Central Ave, Glendale, CA 91203; Burbank is a nearby service area, not a separate branch. The company's California Structural Pest Control Board registration is PR 10209, Branch 2. Arman Nazarian holds SPCB Operator license OPR 15111 and is the technician who evaluates the property.
For wildlife trapping, Arman also holds a California Department of Fish and Wildlife trapping license under Trapper ID TP-11016. The credential block makes the responsible business and technician clear. It does not replace the need to verify what is actually using the Burbank property and which areas can be safely accessed.
Who handles the call?
City or county animal control generally addresses dead or injured animals on public streets and other public responsibilities. A raccoon in a private attic, below a raised foundation, inside a chimney area, around a garage or entering through a roof opening is a structural wildlife matter for a private licensed provider. Brave Guys can inspect, discuss removal and quote repairs for that private-property scope.
We do not claim to be a Burbank agency and do not predict the response an agency will provide. For public property, contact the appropriate public service. For activity on your lot or inside your building, send the address, the exact location and what you observed so Arman can confirm coverage and an available visit window.
Local questions
These answers describe the scope on this page. Arman confirms access, method and price for the actual property before work begins.
Raccoon inspection is free. Trap setup is $200 for one trap for up to two weeks, plus $150 per animal caught, making one caught animal $350 and two $500. A one-way door is $450 flat where suitable. Entry-point repairs, cleanup and extra equipment are separate quotes.
Same-day service is not guaranteed. Text the Burbank address, the part of the property involved and the time of the activity to (818) 627-8118. Arman will confirm the available window before dispatch. Contact hours run daily from 8 AM to midnight.
Do not place yourself close to a raccoon, block its route or handle a confined animal. An alley or detached garage can also make it unclear whether the animal is visiting or entering. A free inspection can identify the relevant structure and let Arman explain the safer approved options.
Brave Guys checks accessible evidence for dependent young before selecting the method or closing an opening. Spring and summer activity, small vocal sounds and repeated adult trips are important details to report. We do not close a confirmed occupied space.
Not necessarily. Waste, nesting activity or absorbed scent may remain after the animal is gone. Cleanup is a separate scope, and odor that has entered surrounding material can take time to fade even after the accessible source is addressed.
Accessible entry-point repairs can be quoted after the space is clear. The exact material and scope depend on the opening and structure. Ask which repaired points qualify for the one-year exclusion-repair warranty and read the warranty page for limits.
Yes, those areas are within the Burbank service area. Because access can differ between hillside parcels, alley properties and larger lots, send the exact address and any gate or parking details so coverage and dispatch terms can be confirmed.
You can call or text (818) 627-8118 daily from 8 AM to midnight, Los Angeles time. Contact hours do not guarantee an immediate field visit; Arman confirms the service window for the address.
Brave Guys Inc. lists SPCB company registration PR 10209, Branch 2. Arman Nazarian holds SPCB Operator OPR 15111 and CDFW trapping license TP-11016.
Only specific qualifying entry points repaired by Brave Guys are covered by the one-year exclusion-repair warranty. It does not automatically cover new openings, unrepaired portions of the building or unrelated damage. See the warranty page for the exact terms.

1-Year Brave Guys Exclusion Warranty
If an animal breaks through or re-enters through an entry point Brave Guys repaired within one year of completion, we will return, address or remove the animal as necessary, and repair that same entry point again at no additional charge.
Applies only to qualifying exclusion and entry-point closure work performed by Brave Guys, not automatically to every pest-control service. New openings elsewhere and entry points we did not repair are outside this warranty.
