Raccoons are one of the most common raccoon problems homeowners have to deal with. These raccoons are curious creatures that will find their way into your home through any opening they can get in, giving them access to all your food sources and personal items. When you have a raccoon in attic, it is a considerable risk for you and these raccoons.
What should I know about this?
There are a few things you can do to help prevent raccoon problems and live with these creatures peacefully:
- Make sure all openings into your house are properly sealed off. This includes chimneys, vents, and any other opening that could be large enough for a raccoon to fit through. You may need to use metal screening or hardware cloth to keep them out.- Do not leave food sources accessible outside or inside your home. Raccoons are opportunistic feeders and will take advantage of anything they can find.- If you have an existing raccoon problem, contact a professional wildlife removal company for assistance. They will be able to humanely remove the raccoons from your property and provide solutions to help keep them from returning.
