Signs You Have a Raccoon Problem

It's crucial to identify a raccoon infestation early to prevent extensive damage and health risks. Recognizing the common signs can help you take action quickly. Listen for unusual noises, especially at night, as raccoons are nocturnal and often create loud sounds in attics, walls, or chimneys.

• Strange Noises: Thumping, scratching, scurrying, or chattering sounds coming from your attic, chimney, or within your walls, particularly after dark.
• Property Damage: Torn shingles, damaged soffits or fascia, uncapped chimneys, and ripped open vents are common entry points that indicate raccoon activity.
• Tracks and Droppings: Look for five-toed tracks in or around your property. Raccoon droppings, known as latrines, are often found in concentrated areas on roofs or at the base of trees.
• Disturbed Trash Cans: One of the most classic signs is finding your trash cans knocked over with garbage strewn about your yard in the morning.

If you notice one or more of these signs, raccoons are likely using your property for shelter. Addressing the issue promptly with professional help is the best way to ensure the animals are removed safely and your home is secured against future intrusions.

Why You Need Professional Raccoon Removal

Attempting to remove raccoons on your own can be dangerous. These animals can become aggressive when they feel threatened, especially mothers protecting their young, leading to potential bites or scratches. Professionals have the right equipment and training to handle them safely and humanely without risk.

Furthermore, raccoons are carriers of serious diseases like rabies and parasites such as roundworm, which can be transmitted to humans and pets through contact with droppings. Proper removal and sanitation by experts are essential to eliminate these significant health hazards from your home environment.

Finally, true raccoon control involves more than just trapping. A professional service will identify and seal all entry points to prevent re-entry. This comprehensive approach ensures a long-term solution that DIY methods simply cannot guarantee, saving you stress and future expenses.
