Raccoon in the Attic
Raccoons can cause a lot of damage when they live in your attic. These nuisance animals will rip up ducts and even electrical wiring to make their nests, which is dangerous as it will cause fire. There are also potential health hazards to be aware of. These pesky critters can transmit diseases such as rabies to humans. Raccoons also can cause structural damage to your home as they search for water, food and shelter. To make a comfortable living space, they can tear down insulation and drywall.

Getting rid of these wild animals in attics is a difficult task that must be done by a licensed and experienced wildlife removal professional. When you have determined the source of their entry, sealing off all other potential points of access will go a long way towards keeping them out. You may also consider setting up traps to catch the wild animal and then release it into more suitable habitat (at least 5 miles) away from your home.
A live trap is considered the most effective way to get rid of these wild animals from your attic. Live traps allow you to safely remove the raccoons from your home without harming them. There are one way and two way traps available but its usually just a matter of preference as to which one to use.

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
A common misconception about getting rid of these wild animals is that some kind of repellent or deterrent on its own will be effective – it won’t. 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.

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.
Exterior damage to your home
Raccoons love to find a warm and cozy place to live. In order to find this, they will tear apart anything that gets in their way including roofing shingles or vents for instance! If there are raccoons in your home, it is possible to see holes and tears. This could also be dangerous because insulation materials might have been altered, potentially exposing wiring in walls and ceilings. This can increase the risk of a fire hazard. Strange noises
Strange noises
Raccoons might be living on your property if they make rattling sounds. These little creatures make lots of noise at night as they search around the attic for food such as pet food or insects like spiders, crickets and ants.
