Tips on Removing Raccoons From Your Home

Raccoon infestations are a nuisance for everyone. As soon as the weather warms up, raccoons will wake up from their winter hibernation and make their way to your property. They get in to your garbage, spread disease, and isolated reports show that they sometimes prey on your pets. Raccoons may also present a threat to humans, especially if they show no fear towards human presence. Many experts attribute this trait to either rabies, or their behavioral adjustment to humans living near their natural habitats.

 

There are many ways to prevent raccoons from invading your property. If you notice muffled scratching noises at night in secluded locations in your home (attics, crawl spaces, or even chimneys), a raccoon may have already began to nest in your home. Also, on top of the health risks raccoons present to humans, they can also cause damage to your property by tearing off vents, chewing through shingles, and squeezing in between your walls.
