With our Raccoon Wildlife Control Strategy in place, our pest control technicians will immediately start the treatment. Depending on your current pest problem, your raccoon control professional may suggest using humane wildlife bait, lure and trap raccoons.

In order to ensure that your house is secure from all pests and wildlife, The Nifty Fi will go through exclusion work to protect your property. Exclusion work includes sealing entry points and blocking areas that may been attractive to critters, such as underneath decks, porches, sheds, and more. This will occur either before or after the treatment, depending on where the pests are located. Blocking entry points too early may trap an animal from getting out, so we make sure of the appropriate time to do it.

Once the live traps have been placed to capture raccoons, our technician will monitor the trap for activity. Our control professional will remove raccoons from your property once captured. If the raccoon infestation is more extensive, your technician may need to make multiple visits to remove all invading raccoons.

Treating the immediate raccoon problem is only one part of protecting your home from unwanted animals. Addressing why your home was targeted by raccoons and where they gained access to your property is essential. This provides an effective raccoon control treatment, and protects your property from future raccoon invasions. Our control professional will locate potential areas of attractive natural resources and access points to make suggestions of preventative measures.

One of the most common health risks associated with raccoons is carrying rabies. Not all raccoons show symptoms of rabies, but this does not mean that they do not carry the disease. Rabies can be transferred to pets or humans through bites or by ingesting raccoon droppings.

It is important to note that raccoons are not typically aggressive animals unless they feel threatened. This means that prodding pets are more likely to scare raccoons, increasing the chance of a bite.

Other diseases that can be carried and transmitted by raccoons are most commonly salmonella, leptospirosis, and roundworm. All of these diseases can be carried by raccoons without significant or identifiable symptoms.

These can affect humans and pets, so if a substantial raccoon infestation is detected, it is recommended to be aware of these diseases and to check for them if necessary.

Raccoon roundworm is especially important to be cautious of, as it can affect and be fatal to both humans and other animals without symptoms. It has also been found that roundworm eggs can be found in infected raccoon droppings, which would likely be scattered around an invaded yard.

Although you may want to and it may seem reasonable to take the Raccoon Pest matters into your own hands. It is actually not something you want to do if you don’t understand the Wildlife Protection, Trapping and Relocation Laws. 

It doesn’t matter what the raccoons may have done or the damaged to your property, but it does matter how the animals are dealt with and the legalities of doing so.

It is always better to be safe, and why it is important to consider the legal status of each wildlife animal in your area, and why it is usually best to have a Professional Wildlife Pest Removal Service take care of you and you Raccoon Pest Issues. 

This will also be beneficial in damage control, as removing food, water, and other natural resources ensure that wildlife is not drawn to invade your property.

Along with the damage control tips listed above, it is very important to not feed raccoons or other wildlife that come on to your property. Feeding these animals makes them view you as a resource.

As a result, raccoons will continue to travel and attract other wildlife animals to your home if fed. You may feel responsible to care for a hungry or hurt animal, but it is highly advised to not make contact with wildlife.

Pest control professionals know the best way to help and redirect wildlife, so contacting them after continuous wildlife sightings is recommended.

There are certain wildlife animals that are protected by law, so it is highly suggested to take this factor into account when using at-home control methods and control products (such as live traps) instead of control companies.

To combat this issue before it happens, be sure to identify what might be attracting wildlife to your property. Animal control is more effective when it starts with prevention.
