Signs You Need Raccoon Removal Services

Raccoons are nocturnal creatures, which means they’re often active at night. However, there are signs to look for that may indicate a raccoon problem:

• Noises in the Attic or Walls: If you hear scratching, thumping, or rustling noises in your attic or walls, it could be raccoons moving around. Raccoons often enter attics to find shelter, especially during colder months.
• Visible Damage: Raccoons are notorious for tearing up insulation, chewing on wires, and ripping open vents. If you notice damage to your attic or roof, it’s a good sign that raccoons are present.
• Droppings and Urine: Raccoon droppings are typically round and dark in color, and they can be found near their nesting sites. If you find droppings inside your attic or on your property, it’s a sign that raccoons have been present.
• Entry Points: Raccoons can fit through small openings, so be on the lookout for holes or gaps in your roof, chimney, or walls. They can often climb trees and access your roof easily, and they’ll look for any entry point to get inside your home.
• Seeing a Raccoon: If you spot a raccoon during the day or notice one hanging around your property, it could indicate a nest nearby. While raccoons are typically active at night, daytime sightings could signal a serious issue.

Why Raccoons are a Problem

Raccoons may seem cute, but they can cause serious problems when they invade your home. Here’s why:

• Property Damage: Raccoons can cause significant damage to your home, particularly in your attic. They’ll chew on wires, tear up insulation, and damage roofing materials, leading to expensive repairs.
• Health Risks: Raccoons can carry diseases like rabies, leptospirosis, and raccoon roundworm, which can be transmitted through bites, scratches, or contact with feces and urine. They can also introduce fleas, ticks, and mites into your home.
• Nesting and Reproduction: Raccoons are known to create nests in attics, walls, and basements. If left unchecked, they can reproduce quickly, leading to an infestation that’s difficult to control.
