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.
Mauvilla Raccoon Removal
It is difficult to get rid of wild animals living in attics. A licensed wildlife control professional must do this. Once you have identified the source of their entry, it is important to seal off any other possible points of entry. 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.
Our Raccoon Removal Process
Setting traps
Place the traps where there is 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.
Reduce the appeal of your home to wild animals
We will make your home less appealing to raccoons or other nuisance critters by removing food sources and water sources.
Seal the entry holes
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 will remove all raccoon droppings from any areas they may have damaged, such as insulation and drywall.

After cleaning up the attic, we’ll repair any damage both inside and outside of your home. We will also inspect and replace any insulation or roofing that was damaged by the raccoon infestation!
Wildlife Removal and Pest Control
It is not a good idea to use poison to rid raccoons. Raccoons will track them inside your home creating a safety risk to you and your family members. Raccoons will also crawl in hard to reach places to die and the smell of a decomposing raccoon in your ceiling or attic can be very difficult to remove. A wildlife control services provider who specialize in wildlife removal are your best option. Our experts never use poison to rid 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. 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.
Raccoon Feces
Also, Mauvilla FL raccoons are intelligent animals who can truly harm your house and make a bathroom out of your attic. There are so many complaints about raccoons ruining your attic, chewing through the plumbing, and even attacking juveniles.
Signs of Raccoon Infestation
There are a few tell-tale signs that you might have raccoons living in your attic or under your house. 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
The decomposing waste these critters leave behind is not only unpleasant to smell but it can also lead to serious health issues such as respiratory problems, allergies and other infections.
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. It is possible that you might see holes or tears around your house if there are any raccoons living inside. 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
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. These animals like to be outside and go about their business, so if you hear unusual noises at night there is a chance you are sharing your space with them!
Tipped over garbage cans
Raccoons love garbage bins. 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.

Strange behavior in pets
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. 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.
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.
