What are Raccoons so Dangerous?
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and the neighboring areas are densely populated by raccoons. Raccoons are nocturnal animals that are rarely seen by residents in Pennsylvania during the day. At night, common raccoon complaints include scratching, movement (something racing or wandering around above you), chitter-chatter, and occasionally snarling or fighting. Roof shingles, soffits, and property damage, as well as plundered trash cans, digging in the yard, and sod flipped over, all indicate their destructive behavior.
What damage do Raccoons cause?
Raccoons get entry to our homes via uncapped chimneys, unscreened attic vents, and any other weak points they discover. In their attempts to gain in, raccoons can cause damage to roofs, siding, soffits, and vents. Once inside, raccoons will seek out a suitable nesting site. They will leave feces and urine-soiled insulation behind that is contaminated with diseases and parasites, providing a health danger.
Raccoons want a warm den during the winter, and a heated chimney or attic is ideal. Raccoons will continue to occupy available space until they are removed humanely and all raccoon entry sites are sealed. Raccoon exclusion is a long-term solution for the majority of wildlife problems. It entails sealing all raccoon entry points on a structure.
Raccoon removal can be dangerous at times, especially if a litter of young is present. March, April, and May are the months when raccoons give birth in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Raccoons usually choose to raise their young in an attic or crawlspace because it is a safe place. Raccoons’ young emit sounds similar to birds chirping, as well as whimpering and shrieking. If you hear these sounds coming from your attic or chimney, they are a sign of a raccoon infestation, and you should immediately contact a professional raccoon removal agency.
Seitz Wildlife Services Can Help in Various Ways
Typically, a raccoon infestation requires trapping and removal services, as well as animal exclusion to prevent recurrences. Traps are often installed on roofs or as close to the entry point as possible in order to quickly capture the target animals rather than collecting every passing critter in the neighborhood. After removing the invading raccoons from your home, we will expertly install chimney covers and seal all raccoon entry points to prevent future raccoon invasions. Raccoons can transmit rabies, so avoid personal contact with them at all costs. Animal control should be notified of raccoons that look to be sick or tame. Due to the dangers associated with raccoon removal, it’s best to leave it to a professional like us.
