These pests can cause serious damage to insulation, wiring, and other components in your attic. They can also spread diseases and parasites like rabies and raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis).

Raccoon Infestation Signs
Raccoons usually leave signs of their presence behind after they have moved into your attic. These signs include:
- Unpleasant smell of droppings
- Damage to your home’s exterior
- Strange noises
- Tipped over garbage bins
- Raccoon tracks
- Missing pet food
- Pets behaving strangely
Droppings that leave an unpleasant odor
Raccoons leave urine and droppings that eventually decompose and create a foul stench that can permeate throughout your house. Stains and urine will also seep through the ceiling and cause serious damage to insulation, sheetrock, or even wooden beams.
Damage to your home’s exterior
Raccoons love to find a warm and cozy place to live. To find it, they will destroy anything in their path, including roof shingles and vents. It is possible that you might see holes or tears around your house if there are any raccoons living inside. This could also be dangerous because insulation materials might have been altered, potentially exposing wiring in walls and ceilings. This can increase the risk of a fire hazard. Strange noises
Strange noises

How to Remove Raccoons in the Golden Gate Area
Raccoons can be a nuisance in Golden Gate and cause serious damage to your property. Trapping raccoons can be a difficult task, as they are very intelligent and resourceful animals.
You should only call certified and experienced professionals to trap a raccoon. Golden Gate has many years experience with live trapping raccoons, as well as removing them from residences. Do not just purchase the first trap in a retail store and hope for better. AAAC Wildlife Removal is the best company to handle the trapping and removal of raccoons.
Humane traps are always used for raccoon trapping. Two types of traps are used by our trappers to remove raccoons.
- One way trap or single-door trap
- Two way trap doors
The first trap is a one-way door. This type of trap has the benefit of being simple to set and deploy. These traps are great for capturing raccoons. The chances of raccoons entering the trap are higher with two-way traps. Animals will be more comfortable entering the cage if they can see the other side.
It is important to choose the right bait when trapping raccoons. Many different types of bait can be used. Sweets such as marshmallows or pieces of fruit are good baits. The marshmallow’s white appearance makes the attic very visible and it smells delicious to the mother raccoon as well as her babies.
Raccoon repellents are rarely effective against raccoons. Raccoons should not be allowed to enter your attic in the first place. Holes must be repaired and soffits covered.
Raccoon Repellents
Raccoon repellents sold in the market almost never work. These products claim to repel raccoons from your home. These products are unlikely to have any effect on raccoons, as they can adapt to the sounds and smells.
They can even cause harm to pets and humans. The best way to repel raccoons is to make sure they don’t have access to your house and that there isn’t anything attracting them to your property.
Here’s Our Raccoon Removal Process
- Set traps and baits
- Catch and remove the raccoon
- Remove food sources
- Close all entry points. Seal them with cement, steel, or wood materials.
- Clean up attic (Remove feces, deodorize, and replace insulation if necessary)
- Fix all damage to the interior and exterior of your home.
Setting traps
The traps are placed in areas that raccoons frequent. The traps can be baited using sweets like marshmallows or wet cats food.
Remove the raccoon
Once the raccoon is captured, we’ll remove them so that they aren’t able to return to your property.
Reduce the appeal of your home to wild animals
We will remove the animal from your home and make it less appealing to other wildlife.
Seal all entry points
We’ll find possible entry points where raccoons and other wildlife might be getting into your house and we’ll seal all of them off. We use special mesh netting to cover holes and keep animals from getting inside.
Clean up the attic
To prevent the spread of diseases and parasites, we will clean out and disinfect your attic. Our special enzyme cleaner kills any bacteria or mold spores in your attic. It also works as an air freshener to get rid of any foul odors that may have been left behind by the raccoons.
Repair wildlife damage
After the cleaning is done, we will fix any damage that was caused by the infestation. These include ripped shingles and chewed through sidings. We can also replace roofing or insulation that has been damaged, torn or ripped off.
Raccoon Droppings Can Cause Serious Damage to Your Attic
Raccoons don’t know how to go to the bathroom, so they just go wherever it takes them. Roundworm, a parasite found in the droppings of raccoons, can cause serious problems for human health.
Additionally, raccoon excrement creates a nauseating odor and attracts other pests, such as maggots and flies.
The potential for mold growth and damage to your attic insulation from raccoon urine is also possible. The droppings cause wood to rot and metal to rust.
Cleanup and Attic Re-insulation
Raccoons enjoy the security and comfort of your attic. Attics are dark, so they are not often accessed by humans. This makes them the ideal place for a raccoon’s home.
They prefer dry places to keep them safe and warm. They will usually make it their home with others. Raccoons can travel with other raccoons, making your attic a less suitable place for people.
The droppings of the raccoon can cause serious damage to your attic insulation, and their urine creates a strong ammonia smell which will only get worse over time.
After performing wildlife removal, it is important that your attic be cleaned by professionals. Your attic may need to be re-insulated because raccoons could easily cause irreparable damage.

Damage Repair, and Entry Point Seal-up
You must seal up the areas affected by wildlife removal so they cannot return. It is possible for them to get into your home through small holes. Therefore, it is important that you seal all entry points.
To keep raccoons away, you can install various barriers like caulking, metal flashing, and screening. Wildlife management specialists may be needed to assist with the identification and sealing of all entry points.
