Raccoon in the Attic

When they are in your attic, raccoons can do a lot of damage. These nuisance animals will rip up ducts and even electrical wiring to make their nests, which is dangerous as it will cause fire. Also there are potential health risks to be aware of, these pesky critters carry rabies and other diseases that can be transmitted to humans.

Gulf Shores Raccoon Removal

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.

The best way to remove these wild animals from your attic is to use a live trap. You can safely trap raccoons in your attic without causing any harm. 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. To lure them in, these traps can be baited with marshmallows and wet cat food.

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 all entry points

We’ll inspect and seal all possible entry points, as well as other entry holes around your home. These include vents under patios and porches, as well as the gables and soffits of your roofline.

Clean up the attic

We’ll clean out all raccoon droppings and debris from areas that they have damaged such as insulation or drywall.

Repair wildlife damage

After cleaning up the attic, we’ll repair any damage both inside and outside of your home. We’ll also replace or inspect any roofing or insulation damaged by the raccoon invasion!

Wildlife Removal and Pest Control

Using poison to get rid of raccoons is never a good idea. 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. 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. 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

Gulf Shores Raccoons are smart animals that can cause serious damage to your house. They can even create a bathroom in your attic. There have been many calls from people complaining about raccoons invading attics and gnawing through pipes. We even had some male raccoons attacking young juveniles.

Raccoon Infestation Signs

There are a few tell-tale signs that you might have raccoons living in your attic or under your house. There will be unpleasant odors such as urine and droppings, exterior damage to your house, scratching sounds inside the walls or attic, and strange sounds when the sun sets. You might also notice that there’s garbage cans tipped over, missing pet food or even pets behaving strangely.

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.

Exterior damage to your home

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 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! Strange noises

Strange noises

Scratching sounds are one of the most common signs that you might have raccoons living somewhere on your property. As they search for food, such as insects or pet food, these tiny creatures make a lot of noises at night. Their sharp claws make scratching at the floors in your attic sound like 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!

Trash strewn around the yard

Garbage bins are a big attraction for raccoons. They love to go through them looking for food, which is why it’s not uncommon at all if you wake up in the morning and find your garbage bin tipped over and the trash is scattered all over the place. This is one sign that you may have raccoons 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 don’t like to eat picky food so if your pet is missing their food, it could be a sign that a raccoon has moved into the attic. Pets who suffer from anxiety due to

Pets acting strangely

You may notice your pet acting oddly, hiding or not getting out as often as they normally do, which could indicate that there is something wrong with the area where they sleep at night. They could be running away due to fear brought upon by noise or commotion which means it might be time to find another sleeping spot for them if this is happening often enough.

Attic Clean up and Re-insulation

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 should be treated immediately as it can carry parasites like raccoon roundworm, which can cause serious health problems for 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. After all other precautions have been taken, it should be replaced with a new layer.

Wild Animal Damage Repair

After attic clean up and decontamination, the next step would be to repair any damage done by the raccoons. Sharp teeth and nails can cause damage to wood, insulation, drywall, and other materials. It is best to hire a wildlife removal service if you don’t know what type of work you need to do on your property. They will be able tell you exactly how much effort and time it takes depending on the location where the animal was living.
