Damage to your home’s exterior
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!

Strange noises
Scratching sounds are one of the most common signs that you might have raccoons living somewhere on your property.

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!
Trash strewn around the yard
Garbage bins are a big attraction for raccoons.
