Raccoons in Your Home Can Be Dangerous
Although raccoons are primarily nocturnal, they are in constant search of food and shelter. And if they choose your home or business as a haven, the results can be disastrous. Categorized as extremely destructive and dangerous pests, these animals can cause significant structural damage to your property as well as infest your space with things like fleas and other parasites. If you suspect you have raccoons on your property, call Pest Pros for more information.
Signs of Raccoons in and Around Your Home
Raccoons generally don’t travel in packs unless you run across a mother with babies. But a single raccoon in your home can produce more than enough damage. Some signs you have a raccoon problem include:
- Foul odors coming from the attic
- Scratches, thumps, or purring noises coming from your attic, especially at night
- Household pets alerting you of an intrusion
- Damage to attic access points like vents or roof soffits
- Raccoon footprints in yard (resembling human footprints)
- Toppled garbage cans and trash spread across your yard
Raccoon Removal Techniques & Strategies
If you have raccoons in your home, you need to get them removed. While some may find them cute, raccoons can be aggressive animals that will fiercely protect their territory.
Raccoon removal techniques can vary depending on your situation and goals. Live trapping is the most humane and effective way to remove a raccoon. In many cases, there are babies to locate and remove as well.
Raccoon Exclusion Techniques & Strategies
Removing unwanted pests like raccoons is only the first step in reclaiming your property. If you do nothing else, they’ll just come right back. After cleaning up the mess and repairing any damage, you need raccoon exclusion to block future access. This involves blocking all access areas to your home with things like durable screens and sealants.
If you have a raccoon problem in your home, you should know that these animals do tremendous damage to your crawl space and attic.
Contact Crawl Pros to have an estimator come out, do an evaluation on the damage, and provide you with an estimate to repair your crawl space or attic. While Crawl Pros can take care of exclusion services to prevent animals from gaining access to your crawl space and attic again, we don’t provide nuisance wildlife removal services at this time. Our estimators will be able to pass along a quote from another company who can handle the removal for you.
