Signs of a Raccoon Infestation

Because raccoons are nocturnal, it can be difficult to know that you have a raccoon problem until the infestation is well underway. However, there are some signs that you can look out for that may indicate a raccoon infestation. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call in the professionals at Bugtime Termite & Pest Control for a comprehensive inspection.

You may have a raccoon infestation if you notice:

• Scratching or thumping noises in your walls or attic at night
• Strong, unpleasant odors coming from your attic, basement, or crawl space
• Footprints around your garbage cans, pet food dishes, or compost bins
• Chewed up shingles, soffits, or vent covers
• Greasy smudges along your walls or baseboards

What Are the Dangers of Raccoon Infestations?

Raccoons are known to carry a variety of diseases and parasites, which makes them a serious health risk to you and your family. Some of these diseases, like rabies, can be transmitted through bites or scratches, while others can be spread by contact with their feces, urine, or saliva.

While raccoons are not usually aggressive, they will attack if they feel threatened, and their sharp claws and teeth can cause serious injuries. If you have a raccoon infestation, it’s important to call in the professionals as soon as possible to avoid any potential health risks.

How Do Raccoons Get Into Your Home?

Raccoons are excellent climbers and can easily scale rough surfaces like trees and brick walls. Once they are on your roof, they can easily climb down into your attic by squeezing through small gaps in your soffits, vents, or the roofline. Raccoons are also excellent swimmers and can swim through your plumbing and enter your home through your toilet, shower drain, or basement drain.

How to Prevent Raccoons From Getting Into Your Home

One of the most effective ways to prevent raccoons from getting into your home is to seal up any potential entry points. This may include repairing any damage to your roof, soffits, or vents, as well as covering any gaps or cracks in your foundation or walls. You should also make sure that all of your garbage cans, pet food dishes, and compost bins have tight-fitting lids.

While raccoons are excellent climbers, they are not very good at opening latched lids. You should also make sure that all of your doors and windows are properly sealed and that you don’t leave any gaps or cracks in your foundation or walls. If you have a raccoon problem, it’s important to call in the professionals as soon as possible to avoid any potential health risks.

How Long Does It Take to Get Rid of Raccoons?

The length of time it takes to get rid of a raccoon infestation will depend on a variety of factors, including the size of the infestation, the location of the infestation, and the type of raccoon that is causing the problem. In general, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to get rid of a raccoon infestation.
