Raccoons in the Attic
Raccoons love attics! Attics are a favorite place for raccoons to nest and raise their young. An attic can provide the perfect shelter from weather and predators, and it’s easy for raccoons to access thanks to soffit vents and rooflines.
They can cause damage to insulation, wiring, or other critical components of your attic. They can also spread parasites such as rabies or raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis).

Raccoon Infestation Signs
Raccoons usually leave signs of their presence behind after they have moved into your attic. These 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 can seep through ceilings and cause severe damage to insulation, sheetrock, and wooden beams.
Damage to your home’s exterior
Raccoons like nothing better than finding a nice warm place in which they can live. In order to find this, they will tear apart anything that gets in their way including roofing shingles or vents for instance! If there are raccoons in your home, it is possible to see holes and tears. This could be dangerous as well because insulation materials may have been tampered with potentially exposing wiring within walls and ceilings thus increasing the chances of fire hazard! Strange noises
Strange noises
As they crawl around in your attic, crawl spaces, and chimneys, raccoons create a lot of noises. This is a sign you have an infestation. It’s important to seek professional help from wildlife experts right away before these critters cause permanent damage to your house.
Trash strewn around the yard
The raccoon is a nocturnal animal and mostly scavenge at night. Raccoons love to dig through garbage cans and dumpsters looking for food scraps and other items that they can eat. If a raccoon has made its way into your property you should make sure that your trash bins are sealed shut so that these animals cannot get in.
Raccoon tracks
Raccoons are nocturnal animals that feed at night. These critters love to rummage through your garbage cans and dumpsters in search of food scraps or other things that they can eat. You should seal your trash cans to stop raccoons from rummaging through them.
Were you aware that Raccoons have very sensitive hands that almost act as a second set of eyes?
Missing pet food
Pet owners should always be wary of raccoons because this animal is attracted to anything edible including dog or cat food left outside overnight. So it’s best to keep pet food indoors and avoid feeding pets outdoors if your area is prone to raccoon infestation.
Did you know that Raccoons are omnivorous?
Strange behavior in pets
If raccoons invade your home, pets like dogs and cats will behave strangely. This can cause animals to feel more anxious, and even aggressive if there is wildlife in their vicinity.
How to Remove Raccoons in the Jensen Beach Area
Raccoons living in Jensen Beach can be a problem and can cause significant damage to your home. It can be difficult to trap raccoons because they are intelligent and resourceful.
You should only call certified and experienced professionals to trap a raccoon. Our team at Jensen Beach has years of experience with live trapping raccoons and removing them from residential properties. Don’t just buy the first trap you see in a store and hope for the best. Leave the removal and trapping of raccoons to the experts at AAAC Wildlife Removal.
For raccoon trapping, humane traps are used. Our trappers use two types of traps to remove raccoons.
- One way trap or single-door trap
- Two way trap doors
The first is a one-door trap. This trap is simple to set up and easy to deploy. These traps work well for capturing raccoons the majority of the time. Two-way traps increase the likelihood that raccoons will enter the trap. Animals are usually more comfortable getting into the cage if they see through to the other side.
When trapping raccoons, you have to consider what kind of bait to use. Many different types of bait can be used. Some good baits to try are sweets, such as pieces of fruits or marshmallows. The marshmallow’s white color makes it stand out in low-visibility attics and is very appealing to mother raccoons and their babies.
Raccoon repellents rarely have any meaningful effect on raccoons. It is important to ensure that raccoons do not enter your attic. Holes should be patched up and soffits should be covered.
Raccoon Repellents
Raccoon repellents sold in the market never work in any meaningful way. There are a number of these products out there that are advertised as being able to keep raccoons away from your property. However, most of these products have very limited effects on raccoons as the animals can simply adapt to the noises and smells.
They can even cause harm to pets and humans. You can repel raccoons by making sure they are not attracted to your home.
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
We set the traps in areas where the raccoons are known to frequent. The traps are baited with sweets such as marshmallows or wet cat food.
Remove the raccoon
Once the raccoon is captured, we’ll remove them so that they aren’t able to return to your property.
Make your home less attractive 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
We’ll clean your attic of all raccoon waste and debris to prevent the spread of parasites and diseases. We use a special enzyme that kills off bacteria and mold spores that may have accumulated inside 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, chewed through wood and siding, etc. We’ll also replace insulation or roofing that is damaged, torn, or has been ripped apart.
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.
Raccoon urine can also cause damage to your attic insulation as well as the potential for mold growth. Metal can rust and wood will rot from the droppings.
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 like dry areas to keep them warm and safe. These animals will often make their home in a group. Raccoons may travel with other raccoons, which could make your attic unsuitable for humans.
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.
It is essential that your attic is cleaned by experts following the removal of wildlife. Raccoons are known to cause damage or complete destruction of insulation in your attic.

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.
Various barriers such as metal flashing, caulking, and screening can be installed to help keep raccoons out. You may need wildlife management specialists to help to identify all the entry points and seal them properly.
AAAC Wildlife Removal of Jensen Beach is able to provide this service. We provide wildlife damage repair both inside and outside of your home.
