Raccoon Removal Cold Spring, KY: Raccoons are very opportunistic animals, regarding both where they den and what they eat. In the wild, raccoons typically den in rock crevices, trees, brush piles, and ground burrows, but they also take  advantage of man made structures such as homes, office buildings, warehouses, sheds, barns, etc. Also, raccoons will eat just about anything including but not limited to, nuts, grains, and fruit; fish, birds, eggs, insects, and rodents; and man made foods, pet food, and garbage. Cities and suburbs are magnets for raccoons due to the abundance of comfortable man made den sites and food sources.

If you think you’re providing a raccoon(s) with one of these comfortable den sites and/or food sources, we need to talk. It’s not good to have raccoons in close proximity to humans, as they pose a variety of risks including disease threats, pet and livestock threats, and damage to structures and landscapes,  First, they can carry and transmit serious diseases including raccoon roundworm. Raccoon roundworm is transmitted through fecal matter, and can cause blindness, brain damage, and even death. Raccoons can also attack pets and small livestock/poultry. If raccoons are habituated to eating pet food left outside, they may become defensive when a cat or dog attempts to have a meal. Raccoons can be very destructive to homes and buildings, ripping and prying apart siding, shingles, wood chips, gutters, etc. If a raccoon is denning inside of a home, they can tear apart insulation and create foul, unsanitary latrines. Gardens and lawns are also susceptible to raccoon damage, more specifically, crop destruction and holes in lawns in search of grubs, insects, and earthworms.

This time of year, landscaping damage isn’t an issue, but structural damage, health risks, and pet safety can be. It’s important to take care of any wildlife problem, including raccoons, sooner rather than later to prevent future damage and risks. In addition, it’s much easier to remove any problem raccoons from a structure when young are not present. Since most raccoons give birth between late February and June, now is an ideal time to remove them.

Highland Heights, KY Raccoon Removal: Raccoons, squirrels, and other wild animals are hunkering down in warm den sites for the cold winter. Raccoons leave the comfort of their den sites at night to scavenge for food. If you have a raccoon in your attic, you may hear the leaving and returning of it throughout the night. If there is an extreme cold spell, raccoons will not venture outside. This has led to a few current customers reporting that it sounds like a football game is going on in their attic all night long.

Raccoons living in close proximity to humans often take advantage of man made structures for shelter, especially in the winter. Any man made structure is susceptible to a raccoon invasion, including sheds, garages, warehouses, etc. Houses are not immune, and raccoons often live in soffits, attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces. It’s surprising to some customers, but raccoons can gain access to roofs very easily. Raccoons are excellent climbers, and they can climb up houses without much trouble.

Once a raccoon is on a roof, how does it get in? Unfortunately, raccoons are also great at ripping apart construction materials including shingles, gutters, soffits, etc. The same abilities that allow them to sift through garbage cans and pry containers open aid them in gaining access to the inside of your home. A raccoon can take a seemingly perfect home and gain entry if so determined. This causes quite the headache for homeowners, especially since so much time and effort is put into keeping a house beautifully maintained.

Extreme Raccoon Damage

 

 

The destruction does not necessarily stop once a raccoon has gained entry into your home. Raccoons tear up insulation and storage. Also, they create foul latrines that can cause all sorts of problem. Raccoon feces can carry raccoon roundworm. Also, the smell of raccoon urine and feces can permeate into the living quarters of a home. If raccoons in an attic are left unchecked long enough, latrines can create weak spots and discoloration. Eventually, a latrine can cause a ceiling to collapse. In addition to the health concerns discussed already, raccoons are also hosts for mites, ticks, and fleas.

A raccoon issue should be taken care of sooner rather than later  for two important reasons. First, to prevent additional damage. Tri-State Wildlife Management initiates an Integrated Wildlife Management Program beginning with an inspection and customer education, followed by removal of intrusive wildlife and repair of wildlife damage.

The second reason to take care of a raccoon problem now rather than later is, springtime is baby time. If a female raccoon has taken up residence in your home, babies are likely to follow come sometime between late February to June. (As a side note, juvenile raccoons have been found year round, but the majority are born February to June.) Once juveniles are born, TSWM canvasses your attic determined to find them.

TSWM also offers prevention, restoration, and cleanup services. Cleanup services are tailored to fit the needs of individual customers and individual situations. Sometimes cleanups are as simple as spot removal but can be as extensive as a full attic clean out which entails ridding the attic of all insulation. As a full service company, TSWM will take care of your wildlife issue from start to finish.

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.

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.
