What makes Raccoons dangerous?
The Raccoon population is growing in Main Line, PA, and its surrounding areas. Raccoons are nocturnal creatures, rarely see during the day. Scratching, activity (something running or wandering around above you), chitter-chattering, and even growling or fighting are all regular raccoon complaints at night. Roof shingles, soffits, and property damage, as well as raided trash cans, digging in the yard, and sod flipped over, all serve as evidence of their destructive behavior.
What damage do Raccoons cause?
Raccoons gain entrance to our homes via uncapped chimneys, unscreened attic vents, and any other weak points they discover. In their attempts to gain access, raccoons can cause damage to roofs, siding, soffits, and vents. Once inside, raccoons will seek out nesting areas. They will leave dung and urine-soiled insulation behind that is infested with diseases and parasites, providing a health hazard.
Throughout the winter months, raccoons seek a warm den, and a heated chimney or attic is ideal. Raccoons will continue to occupy available space until humanely removed and all raccoon entry sites are sealed. Raccoon exclusion is a long-term solution to the majority of wildlife problems. It entails sealing all raccoon entry points on a structure.
At times, raccoon removal can be dangerous, particularly if a litter of young is present. March, April, and May are the months when raccoons in Main Line, Pennsylvania give birth. Raccoons typically choose to raise their young in attics or crawlspaces due to their safety. Raccoon raccoons emit sounds similar to birds chirping, as well as sobbing and shrieking. If you hear these sounds coming from your attic or chimney, this is a sign of a raccoon infestation, and you should immediately contact a professional raccoon removal agency.
What can Seitz Wildlife Services do?
Typically, a raccoon infestation requires trapping and removal services, as well as animal exclusion to prevent recurrence. Traps are often positioned on roofs or as close to the entry point as possible to quickly capture the target animals rather than capturing every passing critter in the neighborhood. After removing the intruding raccoons from your home, we will expertly install chimney covers and seal all raccoon entry points to prevent future raccoon invasions. Raccoons are known to be carriers of rabies, therefore avoid personal contact with them at all costs. Animal control should be contacted about raccoons that appear to be sick or tame. Due to the dangers associated with raccoon removal, it is recommended that you leave it to a professional like us.
