Raccoon in the Attic
When they are in your attic, raccoons can do a lot of damage. Raccoons can cause serious damage to your attic by chewing up electrical wiring and ducts. This is dangerous because it can ignite. Also there are potential health risks to be aware of, these pesky critters carry rabies and other diseases that can be transmitted to humans. As they seek shelter, water and food, raccoons can also cause structural damage to your house. To make a comfortable living space, they can tear down insulation and drywall.
Coopertown Raccoon Removal
It is difficult to get rid of wild animals living in attics. A licensed wildlife control professional must do this. Once you have identified the source of their entry, it is important to seal off any other possible points of entry. Set up traps to capture the wild animal, and then release it in a more suitable habitat at least 5 miles from your home.
The best way to remove these wild animals from your attic is to use a live trap. Live traps allow you to safely remove the raccoons from your home without harming them. There are two types of traps, but it is usually a matter if you prefer one or the other.
The Raccoon Removal Process
Setting traps
Place the traps where there is raccoon activity. These traps are generally baited with marshmallows or wet cat food to lure them in.

We will remove the raccoons once they have been caught.

Wildlife Removal and Pest Control
Using poison to get rid of raccoons is never a good idea. Raccoons will track them inside your home creating a safety risk to you and your family members. Raccoons can also be found in difficult-to-reach places, and it is very difficult to get rid of the smelly raccoons in your attic or ceiling. A wildlife control services provider who specialize in wildlife removal are your best option. Our experts never use poison to rid raccoons. Exclusions and trapping are a safer and more humane way to get rid wild animals.
Raccoon Repellents
One common misconception is that repellents or deterrents alone will work to get rid of wild animals. This is false. Many companies that offer these measures only use scare tactics such as strobe lights and loud noises to temporarily fix the problem until the raccoons adjust to what’s happening outside their nest area.
Raccoon Feces
Coopertown raccoons can also cause damage to your home and even make your attic a bathroom. I can’t tell you the variety of phone calls we’ve gotten about raccoons trashing an attic, gnawing through plumbing, and even envious male raccoons unleashing their temper on some young juveniles (not a beautiful sight!
Raccoon Infestation Signs
There are a few tell-tale signs that you might have raccoons living in your attic or under your house. For example, there will be unpleasant smells of droppings and urine, exterior damage to your home, scratching sounds in the attic or walls, as well as strange noises when the sun goes down. It is possible that you notice trash cans being emptied, pets acting strangely or missing food.
Droppings that leave an unpleasant odor
It is not only unpleasant to smell the decomposing waste left behind by these animals, but it can also cause serious health problems such as allergies, asthma, and other conditions.
Damage to your home’s exterior
Raccoons like nothing better than finding a nice warm place in which they can live. To find it, they will destroy anything in their path, including roof shingles and vents. It is possible that you might see holes or tears around your house if there are any raccoons living inside. This could be dangerous as well because insulation materials may have been tampered with potentially exposing wiring within walls and ceilings thus increasing the chances of fire hazard! Strange noises
Strange noises
Raccoons might be living on your property if they make rattling sounds. As they search for food, such as insects or pet food, these tiny creatures make a lot of noises at night. They have sharp claws so when they scratch the floors inside your attic it sounds similar to nails on a chalkboard! They like to go about their business while it’s dark outside so if you hear strange noises at night then there’s a good chance that you may be sharing your space with these unwanted guests!
Trash strewn around the yard
Raccoons love garbage bins. They love to go through them looking for food, which is why it’s not uncommon at all if you wake up in the morning and find your garbage bin tipped over and the trash is scattered all over the place. This is one of those tell-tale signs that you might have raccoons living somewhere on your property!
Raccoon tracks
These furry little creatures leave distinct prints behind from their paws, and they look like a tiny human handprint – five toes in total plus some fur to make up these marks left behind by them when leaving or entering an attic.
Missing pet food
Raccoons aren’t particularly picky eaters so if you find missing pet food this could mean that an animal like a raccoon has taken up residence in the attic above where your pets sleep at night. Anxiety in pets can lead to anxiety.
Strange behavior in pets
If you notice that your pets are acting strange, hiding, and not coming out when they usually do then there’s a good chance that something else is going on in the area of where they usually sleep at night. They could be running away due to fear brought upon by noise or commotion which means it might be time to find another sleeping spot for them if this is happening often enough.
Attic Clean up and Re-insulation
After it is confirmed that there are no wild animals or babies left, an attic clean-up can be initiated.
Raccoon feces needs immediate attention because it carries parasites such as raccoon roundworm which can be harmful to humans. It is recommended that you have an expert in wildlife removal services handle this part of the job since it requires a lot of expertise and safety gear such as masks, gloves and suits.
Insulation will most likely need to be replaced, even if it has not been damaged. It has been contaminated and a new layer should be put in its place after everything else has been taken care of.

Wild Animal Damage Repair
After attic clean up and decontamination, the next step would be to repair any damage done by the raccoons. Animals have sharp nails and teeth which can tear apart wood, drywall, insulation etc. If you are not sure what kind of work needs to be done on your property then it is best that you hire a wildlife removal company for this part as well because they will know exactly how much time and effort should go into repairs depending on where the animal has been living in or around your house, garage or shed.
