Raccoons are aggressive, territorial, and destructive creatures. They will go to any means to get into your attic and that usually means destroying your roof in the process. Not just your roof though. They may have children in your attic and set up a latrine where they defecate and urinate all over the attic and cause it to leak through the ceiling. This can be a serious health hazard and cause giardia and roundworm that can both be life-threatening. So if there are raccoons on your property or on your roof you will want to take steps to get rid of them. If you want to get rid of the raccoons in your home, contact Raccoon Removal Richmond Hill to solve your raccoon problem!
The most important step is prevention. You will want to make sure to take away the raccoon’s access to food and water. So if you have a coy pond you’re in trouble. Raccoons love to eat coy and they can drink from the pond so this is a generally bad choice of landscape structure for places with raccoons. Leaky hoses are also a major issue and offer raccoons a source of water at night. Make sure not to leave leftovers outside and not to feed your pets outside because both these things can cause wildlife to come to your property. Also, make sure to seal away your garbage in a tight-fitting garbage can that locks. Put it in the garage and make sure your door meets the ground because raccoons love nesting in garages and will be aggressive and territorial if you try to interfere with their nest.
If you have raccoons in your home then you need to get them out. You can try doing it yourself, climb on the roof to literally go into the attic and get them out, or maybe set up a trap and check on it every few hours to make sure you don’t kill the animal because that is illegal in this province. Or you can contact a professional and skilled technician at Raccoon Control. Our technicians are highly trained and know how to get rid of your infestation, so call us now and get your house raccoon-free.
