Professional Wildlife Trappers
Most raccoons can be removed from an attic by using a live trap. It is not a good idea just to go to the hardware shop and purchase any traps that seem to work.
It’s best to let professionals do the job. We at AAAC Wildlife Removal are a highly reputable and highly recommended wildlife removal company in the Keystone area. All of our methods for controlling raccoons are safe for humans, pets, and your home.
Humane traps generally come in two forms:
- One way trap doors
- Two-way trap doors
Two-way traps are more effective than one-way ones. Raccoons will more likely go in if they can see the other side of the trap.
Our Raccoon Removal Process
Raccoon removal requires attention to detail and knowledge of the animals’ behavior. The raccoon professionals are trained in biology and animal behavior so that they can handle a wide range of situations.
We use humane and safe methods to remove raccoons from your home or property. This is our procedure for removing raccoons from your home or property.
- Set Traps
- Remove Raccoon
- Make home less attractive to wild animals
- Seal entry holes
- Clean attic
- Repair any damage done
Setting traps
We set the traps in areas we know raccoons frequent, including places we’ve seen droppings or damage. We set the trap, bait it with peanut butter and check it daily to ensure nothing is caught.
Remove the raccoon
Once the raccoon is captured, we’ll remove them so that they aren’t able to return to your property.
Reduce the appeal of your home to wild animals
So those wild animals don’t have access to food and water, we make sure they are not allowed in your home.
Seal the entry holes
We seal up any gaps, holes, or crevices that might be used as a point of access by animals to get into your attic. This can be done using wire meshes or caulking.
Clean up the attic
We will remove any droppings or debris the raccoons might have left behind. We will clean up any mess that the raccoons may have left behind so it doesn’t pose a danger to your health or the health of your family members.
Repair wildlife damage
We’ll clean up any damage caused by the raccoon to your home. This includes damage to the roofing, vents, soffits, fascia boards, and more.
Wildlife Removal and Pest Control
Poisoning raccoons to rid them of their presence is cruel and can lead to more serious problems. Pests that are poisoned will die and decompose inside your home or building structure. Sometimes you won’t even notice that an animal is dead until several days later. This will cause a horrible odor in your home.
A dying animal may also be able to crawl into difficult-to-reach places, and then die. This makes it even more difficult to remove them. This will cause the need to call an animal control professional that may use a variety of methods and tools in order to remove the dead animal carcass from your home or property.
Our wildlife experts will never use poisons and will instead use humane trapping methods to resolve any raccoon problems you might be having. Many animal removal companies don’t have the experience to deal with these animals. They may even cause more damage than the original problem.
Raccoon Repellents
Raccoon repellents sold in the market almost never work. These products claim to repel raccoons from your home. However, most of these products have very limited effects on raccoons as the animals can simply adapt to the noises and smells.
Some may even be harmful to humans and pets when used around the property. You can repel raccoons by making sure they are not attracted to your home.
Signs of Raccoon Infestation
There are tell-tale signs that you have a problem with raccoons in your yard or home. Sightings of droppings or the animal itself, especially if they are seen hanging around your home is a sure sign that you have an infestation.
- Unpleasant smell of droppings
- Damage to your home’s exterior
- Strange noises
- Tipped over garbage bins
- Raccoon tracks
- Missing pet food
- Pets behaving strangely
Droppings that leave an unpleasant odor
Raccoons will leave waste that will decompose and start to smell. You should always check your yard for raccoon droppings at night. This will give you an indication that there is an infestation.
Exterior damage to your home
Sharp teeth and claws are the hallmarks of raccoons. They can cause serious damage to your home’s exterior if they find entry points. To get into your home, they will rip off aluminum siding, wood vents, and plastic vents.
Strange noises
Raccoons are nocturnal, so if you hear strange sounds at night it is very likely that you have a raccoon infestation. As well as chewing, gnawing, and scratching, raccoons can also make a lot of noises.
Tipped over garbage cans
Raccoons love to rummage through garbage cans and bags when looking for food. They will tip over the can, scatter the contents all over your yard and even tear up bags in order to get what they want.
Raccoon tracks
You can spot a problem raccoon by looking out for their footprints around your garden or yard. They usually leave behind large paw prints that are very easy to identify because they have five toes in their front feet and four in the rear.
Were you aware that Raccoons have very sensitive hands that almost act as a second set of eyes?
Missing pet food
Raccoons are omnivorous and will eat anything! They especially love pet food and are often attracted to yards where pets are fed outdoors.
Did you know that Raccoons are omnivorous?
Pets acting strangely
Pets will often act strangely when they sense that a wild animal is near. They can become aggressive, scared, or even try to attack the animal.
Re-insulation and Clean Up of Attic
Attic restoration starts when it is established that there are no other animals present in the attic. We will first clean up any droppings and do disinfection as they could contain the infectious raccoon roundworm.
Most of the time, insulation will need to be replaced even if it is not visibly damaged. It has been contaminated and a new layer should be put in its place after everything else has been taken care of.
We will clean up your attic of raccoon waste, debris, and nesting materials to make sure that no harmful bacteria are left behind. Clean-up should be done by qualified professionals because raccoon feces can cause a wide variety of problems like E. coli infection, hepatitis, and salmonellosis to name a few.
For Attic Restoration Services, contact us today!
Wild Animal Damage Repair
Once clean-up is completed we’ll repair all damage caused by the raccoons such as ripped shingles or siding on your home or shed; chewed through wood trim around windows and doorways; etc. We can also replace insulation that has been damaged so badly that it needs to be replaced completely.
We will seal any holes found behind panels that have been chewed by raccoons and then disinfect the area. Furthermore, if there are any gaps large enough for wildlife to get through, these will be covered and sealed.
We will also fix any damage to the vinyl siding, gutters, and downspouts if raccoons have chewed through them or turned them into a source of water leakage onto your roofing structure.
