Raccoons are not pets and raccoon removal is needed whenever you find them living in your structure. Why? Female Raccoons looking for an entry point and den location to give birth to their cubs are very destructive to the inside of your home. They will damage the insulation in your attic compressing it by walking on it and reducing the R-value, along with forming latrines, causing piles of feces and urine to accumulate on insulation and drywall. Raccoon feces could contain raccoon roundworm, which can be potentially fatal to your family’s health.
Raccoons living in your wall cavities or attic are known to destroy ductwork, electrical wiring, and much more. Raccoons can gain access to a home by climbing up deck posts, siding corners, gutter downspouts, or trees adjacent to the house and will break into soffits or will travel down the chimney to get inside.
Raccoons have nimble hands that are strong enough to get into any structure anytime. They have the ability to remove soffits, shingles, siding, or whatever else they can to force entry into your home. If necessary, we can provide habitat modification services such as minor tree trimming to help take care of your critter problems.
Once the female Raccoon gives birth to her cubs inside the home, they will grow and develop into adults. If the problem persists, it could potentially leave you with 5-6 raccoon adults living inside of your home.
