Do you need raccoon removal? Raccoons may look cute and cuddly, but finding signs of them in your home is more than an inconvenience; it’s a potential threat to your home and family. These crafty climbers are drawn to sheltered areas like attics, crawlspaces, and chimneys. Known for their problem-solving skills and agility, raccoons make removal a tricky task for any property owner.
Signs of Raccoons
If you suspect raccoons have made themselves at home, here are some signs to look for:
- Unusual Smells: The pungent smell of raccoon urine and feces can permeate your home.
- Damage to Gardens: Raccoons may flatten or uproot plants, pull up sod, and scatter soil and mulch.
- Noises in the Attic or Crawl Spaces: Raccoons are nocturnal and often make scurrying, thumping, or scratching sounds.
- Torn Shingles or Roof Damage: Raccoons can tear up shingles or roofing material while trying to get into your attic.
- Droppings and Latrines: Raccoons often create communal “latrines” in attics, garages, or crawl spaces. Their droppings are large and can carry diseases harmful to people and pets.
- Damage to Insulation or Wiring: Raccoons nest in the insulation and may chew through wiring, posing a fire hazard.
- Tipped Trash Cans and Missing Pet Food: Raccoons are notorious for raiding garbage and eating any pet food left outside.
- Tracks and Paw Prints: Raccoon tracks resemble small human hands and are often found around entry points, in mud, or near garbage bins.
