It is not a good idea to use poison to rid raccoons. Raccoons can track them in your home, creating a safety hazard for you and your family. Raccoons will also crawl in hard to reach places to die and the smell of a decomposing raccoon in your ceiling or attic can be very difficult to remove. You should consider hiring a wildlife control service provider that specializes in wildlife removal. Our specialists never use poison to get rid of 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. In fact many companies who offer such measures use scare tactics like strobe lights or loud noises which only serve as temporary fix until the raccoons adapt to what’s going on outside nest area.

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!

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.

These animals like to be outside and go about their business, so if you hear unusual noises at night there is a chance you are sharing your space with them!
