Ft. Mitchell, KY Raccoon Removal: Attics 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.
