Raccoon Removal Dauphin Island

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. 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.

Dauphin Island Raccoon Removal

It is difficult to get rid of wild animals living in attics. A licensed wildlife control professional must do this. 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. 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.

Our Raccoon Removal Process

Setting traps

We set traps in areas of the house where you have raccoon activity. These traps are generally baited with marshmallows or wet cat food to lure them in.

Remove the raccoon

After the raccoon is caught, we’ll remove them so that they aren’t able to get back onto your property.

Make your home less attractive to wild animals

We make your home less attractive to raccoon or other nuisance critter by removing any food sources or potential water sources.

Seal the entry holes

We will inspect your home and seal any entry points. These include vents under patios and porches, as well as the gables and soffits of your roofline.

Clean up the attic

We will remove all raccoon droppings from any areas they may have damaged, such as insulation and drywall. We will treat the attic with a special enzyme to kill off any bacteria or mold spores that may have accumulated from their feces. The enzymes also work as an air freshener so your home smells clean when we leave!

Repair wildlife damage

We’ll clean up your attic and repair any damage to your home. We’ll also replace or inspect any roofing or insulation damaged by the raccoon invasion!

Wildlife Removal and Pest Control

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 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 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. 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

Dauphin Island Raccoons are smart animals that can cause serious damage to your house. They can even create a bathroom in your attic. We’ve received many phone calls about raccoons destroying attics, chewing through plumbing, and even unleashing their anger on young children. It’s not a pretty sight.

Raccoon Infestation Signs

You might notice signs that raccoons are living in your attic. 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. 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. 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!

Tipped over garbage cans

Raccoons love garbage bins. Raccoons love to rummage through garbage bins looking for food. It’s why it’s not unusual to find your garbage container tipped over with trash scattered everywhere. This is one of those tell-tale signs that you might have raccoons living somewhere on your property!

Raccoon tracks

These furry, little furry creatures leave distinctive prints from their paws. They look almost like a human handprint. There are five toes total and some fur that they use to cover the marks when they enter or exit 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.

Pets acting strangely

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. If your pets are running away from fear or commotion, it could be that they need to be moved to a different area.

Re-insulation and Clean Up of Attic

Once it has been established that there are no other wild animals or babies who could still be around (a live trapping should determine this), an attic cleanup can begin.

Raccoon feces needs immediate attention because it carries parasites such as raccoon roundworm which can be harmful to humans. This job requires expertise and the use of safety gear like 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.
