Raccoon Removal Oyster Bay

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. They can tear up insulation and drywall in order to create a space that is comfortable enough for them to live in.

Oyster Bay 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.

A live trap is considered the most effective way to get rid of these wild animals from your attic. 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. These traps are generally baited with marshmallows or wet cat food to lure them in.

Remove the raccoon

We will remove the raccoons once they have been caught.

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 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’ll clean out all raccoon droppings and debris from areas that they have damaged such as insulation or drywall. To kill any mold spores or bacteria that might have been accumulated in their feces, we will treat your attic with an enzyme. 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

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 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. You should consider hiring a wildlife control service provider that specializes in wildlife removal. Our experts never use poison to rid raccoons. Trapping and exclusions is a much more humane and safe way to get rid of the 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

Oyster Bay Raccoons are smart animals that can cause serious damage to your house. They can even create a bathroom in your attic. There are so many complaints about raccoons ruining your attic, chewing through the plumbing, and even attacking juveniles.

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. You might also notice that there’s garbage cans tipped over, missing pet food or even pets behaving strangely.

Unpleasant smell of droppings

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. 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. 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. 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 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. 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. 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

After it is confirmed that there are no wild animals or babies left, an attic clean-up can be initiated.

Raccoon feces needs immediate attention because it carries parasites such as raccoon roundworm which can be harmful to humans. It is recommended that you have an expert in wildlife removal services handle this part of the job since it requires a lot of expertise and safety gear such as 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.

Wild Animal Damage Repair

After attic clean up and decontamination, the next step would be to repair any damage done by the raccoons. Animals have sharp nails and teeth which can tear apart wood, drywall, insulation etc. If you are not sure what kind of work needs to be done on your property then it is best that you hire a wildlife removal company for this part as well because they will know exactly how much time and effort should go into repairs depending on where the animal has been living in or around your house, garage or shed.
