Raccoon Removal
Raccoons are adorable creatures on TV and in cartoons, but they lose their cuteness quickly when they are destroying your property. Many people in Fairfield and New Haven counties have problems with pest raccoons. They are noisy and love to get into things like your trash cans. They are nocturnal animals, so they cause the most trouble at night. Many residents wake up to noises or messes before calling us. If you are experiencing this at your home, we can help. When you call to schedule a consultation, we will come to inspect your property and offer you an estimate and a plan for removing these masked creatures from your home or yard.
Indication of Raccoon Damage
- Tipped trash cans
- Raided bird feeders
- Damaged crops and plants
- Uncapped chimneys
- Torn shingles
- Raccoon tracks
Infectious Diseases Spread By Raccoons
Raccoons carry and spread various bacterial diseases and parasites that can be harmful to humans as well as pets. These diseases can be transmitted through a bite or the ingestion of raccoon waste. The following are the major infectious disease spread by raccoons:
- Leptospirosis
- Salmonella
- Roundworm
- Rabies
Dangers of Raccoons
Raccoons are dangerous for your family and your pets. They can be very aggressive animals especially when they feel threatened. It is not safe for your pets or you to approach them. They are usually around to find food, water, or shelter. If your property offers those things, they will likely stay and begin to nest. We frequently find them nesting under porches, sheds, or other outbuildings. Once nesting happens, they are not easy to get rid of. You will definitely need professionals to step in. We are well-versed in all laws concerning the trapping and removal of animals and raccoons are no exception. We use safe, humane methods to rid your property of these pests.
Raccoons will not stop at your yard. If they can gain access to your roof, they will more than likely find a way into your comfortable attic. They can get through building materials with surprising ease. Shingles, soffits, and vents are all vulnerable to these creatures and their sharp claws. After they make their way into the attic the damages continue. Your insulation will be used for nesting and damaged by droppings and urine. Remember, if your attic has become their home, it has also become their bathroom. Many times, insulation, drywall, and wood will need to be replaced after they have been removed from the space. Again, you do not want to attempt this on your own! We are trained to safely remove them. Call NCS to schedule a consultation as soon as you think you have raccoons anywhere on your property.
Animal Proofing
One of the most important parts of our job is exclusion. We will not stop at removing the unwanted wildlife, we will treat your property to prevent them from getting back in. This is another way our training benefits you. We know where to look for vulnerable entry points and can seal them off in a variety of ways. The idea is for you to keep all unwanted creatures out in the future. Entry points are often much smaller than you would think, and we know what to look for.
