What makes Raccoons dangerous?
Raccoons are everywhere in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Residents in Pennsylvania rarely see raccoons during the day because they are nocturnal animals. Raccoon complaints include scratching, movement (something running or wandering around above you), chitter-chatter, and, on rare occasions, snarling or fighting in your ceiling, walls, or chimney at night. Roof shingles, soffits, and property damage, as well as garbage can raids, yard digging, and sod flipped over, are all signs of their destructive activities.
What damage do Raccoons cause?
Raccoons can get entry to our homes via uncapped chimneys, unscreened attic vents, and any other weak points they can find. In their attempts to gain access, raccoons can cause damage to roofs, siding, soffits, and vents. Once inside, raccoons will look for a location to make their home. They’ll leave excrement and urine-soiled insulation behind, which is infested with diseases and parasites and poses a health danger.
During the winter, raccoons are looking for a warm location to den, and a heated chimney or attic is ideal. Raccoons will take up as much room as possible unless they are humanely eliminated and all raccoon entry sites are sealed. Raccoon exclusion is a long-term solution to most wildlife issues that entails sealing all possible raccoon entry points on a structure.
Raccoon removal can be dangerous at times, especially if a litter of young is present. In the months of March, April, and May, raccoons in Chester County, Pennsylvania, give birth. Because it is a safe habitat, raccoons usually choose an attic or crawlspace to raise their young. Young raccoons emit bird-like chirping noises, as well as whining and shrieking. If you hear these noises coming from your attic or chimney, it’s a sign of a raccoon infestation, and you should call a professional raccoon removal agency as soon as possible.
What can Seitz Wildlife Services do?
To prevent a recurrence, a raccoon infestation usually demands trapping and removal services, as well as animal exclusion. Traps are often put on roofs or as close to the entry point as possible to capture the target animals as quickly as possible rather than collecting every passing critter in the neighborhood. We will install skilled chimney coverings and seal all raccoon access sites after we have eliminated the trespassing raccoons from your property to prevent future raccoon invasions. Raccoons can spread rabies, therefore if at all possible, avoid physical contact with them. Animal control should be notified about raccoons that appear sick or tame. Because of the risks involved in raccoon removal, it’s best to leave it to a professional like us.
