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
Unpleasant smell of droppings
The droppings and urine of raccoons eventually decay and leave a foul stench which can permeate throughout your home. 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. 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. These sounds can be heard through the floorboards or ceiling and is an obvious sign that you have an infestation on your hands. It’s important to seek professional help from wildlife experts right away before these critters cause permanent damage to your house.
Tipped over garbage cans
The raccoon is a nocturnal animal and mostly scavenge 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.
Raccoon tracks

Were you aware that Raccoons have very sensitive hands that almost act as a second set of eyes?
Missing pet food
Raccoons will eat any food, even cat or dog food, left out 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?
Pets acting strangely
Pets like cats and dogs will act strangely if they sense that raccoons have invaded your home. These animals can feel when there is an infestation of wildlife nearby and this causes them to become more alert, anxious, or even aggressive in some cases.
How to Remove Raccoons in the Jupiter Island Area
Raccoons can be a nuisance in Jupiter Island and cause serious damage to your property. 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 Jupiter Island 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. AAAC Wildlife Removal is the best company to handle the trapping and removal of raccoons.
Humane traps are always used for raccoon trapping. There are two types of traps that are used by our trappers for raccoon removal.
- One way trap or single-door trap
- Two way trap doors
The first is a one-door trap. 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. There are many types of bait that can be used. Some good baits to try are sweets, such as pieces of fruits or marshmallows. 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 have a very limited 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. These products claim to repel raccoons from your home. 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. 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 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. Special mesh netting is used to seal holes and prevent animals from entering.
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 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 really understand how to use the bathroom so they will just go anywhere. Roundworm, a parasite found in the droppings of raccoons, can cause serious problems for human health.
Raccoon feces can also attract other pests such as flies and maggots.
Raccoon urine can also cause damage to your attic insulation as well as the potential for mold growth. 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.
Dry areas are what they prefer to be kept 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.
After performing wildlife removal, it is important that your attic be cleaned by professionals. You may need to re-insulate your attic, as raccoons can easily damage or completely destroy the existing insulation.

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. To properly seal all entrance points, wildlife management specialists might be required.
