Ft. Mitchell, KY Raccoon Removal

Ft. Mitchell, KY Raccoon RemovalAttics are ideal den sites for raccoons, providing warmth and protection from the elements. During the winter, they become less active, and in severe cold or during a hard winter storm, they may stay in their den for many days. Typically, February is the beginning of raccoon mating season, extending into March. Most raccoon litters are born in April or May, but as late as August. Young typically stay with the female through their first winter and then disperse the following spring. Tri-State Wildlife Management understands the importance of the timing of a raccoon trapping program, always being aware and taking precautions when juveniles may be present.

It is surprising to many home or business owners that a raccoon can easily gain access to their roof and attic, but raccoons have excellent climbing abilities. It is very common to see dark smudge marks on a downspout of a home where a raccoon has been climbing to gain access to an attic. Unfortunately, raccoon damage doesn’t end with a little bit of discoloration on a downspout; raccoons wreak havoc on shingles, gutters, soffits, fascia, and louver vents in an (usually successful) effort to gain access to the attic. Tri-State Wildlife Management understands the persistence and strength of raccoons, so we only use the top of the line wildlife grade construction materials when excluding raccoons from a home and making the necessary repairs.

Raccoons also make a mess of the inside of attics, both by ripping insulation and creating foul latrines.  If coming in contact with a raccoon latrine, safety precautions must be taken. Raccoons are the most common carriers of raccoon roundworm, a parasite that can be passed to humans, although small children are most vulnerable. The larvae of the worm goes through muscles and organs, potentially causing a serious infection that can lead to death, although this is rare.  When necessary or requested, Tri-State Wildlife Management provides attic clean-outs, safely removing contaminated insulation and replacing it with new insulation.

Tri-State Wildlife Management strives for the most humane and environmentally effective techniques for dealing with wildlife problems. Tri-State Wildlife Management’s use of modern innovative methods provides sound wildlife management services to ensure the protection of our customers’ investments and health.

Summer is over and fall is well underway. This means that wild animals are beginning to prepare for the cold winter. Squirrels are fattening up on mast (tree fruits and nuts), which helps them stay warm and acts as a reserve when food is scarce during the winter. Squirrels also collect and bury food in shallow holes (caches) to be eaten later. Raccoons are eating more too in preparation for winter when food is more scarce. In the Greater Cincinnati area, raccoons may become inactive if there is severe cold or a long winter storm, but they typically still venture out of their dens in search of food.

Not only are squirrels and raccoons fattening up in preparation for winter, but they are also searching for a nice, comfortable den. In cities and suburbs, wildlife often takes advantage of man-made structures such as houses; more specifically, attics and chimneys. Squirrels and raccoons typically return to their previous cold weather den sites, so if wildlife has taken up residence in an attic in years past, most likely, they will return. Habituated squirrels and raccoons must be trapped and the entry points sealed in order to prevent reentry. It’s important to note that if a homeowner has had squirrel or raccoon issues in the past but did not trap the violators, they will attempt, usually successfully, to gain access into a home by chewing a new entry. In a similar scenario, if a homeowner has wildlife entry issues in the past, it may come back to haunt them. Both habituated and non-habituated squirrels and raccoons can smell the scent from an attic that has had squirrel or raccoon inhabitants, so it’s important to be on the alert for any new entries and to repair any vulnerable areas (potential entries) on a structure.

The courteous staff of Tri-State Wildlife Management  works for you to provide a cost effective solution to your wildlife intrusion and/or damage issue. As a full service company, we initiate an Integrated Wildlife Management Program beginning with an inspection and customer education, followed by removal of intrusive wildlife and repair of wildlife damage.

Raccoon Control & Removal

Raccoon Removal Covington, KY: Are raccoons ransacking your attic, soffits, and shingles?As the weather turns colder, raccoons are making their way into homes and structures. Raccoons can be one of the most destructive animals while trying to get into homes or once habituated to a home.  They are so curious and active that they tear into soffits and eves with a breeze, spread shingles like an industrial wood chipper, and pull ill-fitted caps off of chimneys. Tri-State Wildlife Management offers raccoon removal in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.  TSWM will eliminate the violators and the havoc that they may have left behind.

The common raccoon Procyon lotor is probably best known for its mischievous-looking face mask which undoubtedly matches his behavior.  Raccoons are usually a grizzled grey in color with a tail marked by seven alternating black and brown rings. Body coloration can vary from albino, (white) to melanistic (black) or brown. An annual molt, or shedding, of the fur begins in the spring and lasts about three months.
