Raccoons in the Attic

These critters can damage insulation, wiring, and other important components in your attic. They can also spread parasites and diseases like rabies (Baylisascaris procyonis).

Raccoon Infestation Signs
After they move into your attic, raccoons often leave evidence of their presence. 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
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 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! 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
Raccoons create lots of noises at night as they move around your attic, crawl spaces, and chimneys. This is a sign you have an infestation. Before these creatures cause permanent damage to your home, it is important to get professional assistance from wildlife experts immediately.
Tipped over garbage cans
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.
Raccoon tracks
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. 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
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?
Strange behavior in pets
If raccoons invade your home, pets like dogs and cats will behave strangely. 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 Wabasso Area
Raccoons living in Wabasso 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 Wabasso has years of experience with live trapping raccoons and removing them from residential properties. Do not buy any trap that you see in a shop 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. 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 is a single-door trap. This trap is simple to set up and easy to deploy. These work great at capturing raccoons most of the time. The chances of raccoons entering the trap are higher with two-way traps. If they can see through to the other side, animals are more comfortable getting in the cage.
You need to decide what type of bait you will use when trapping raccoons. There are many types of bait that 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 rarely have any meaningful effect on raccoons. Raccoons should not be allowed to enter your attic in the first place. You should patch up any holes and cover the soffits.
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. 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. 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.
Reduce the appeal of your home to wild animals
After removing the animal, we’ll make your home less attractive to raccoons and other wildlife by removing all possible food and water sources.
Seal the entry holes
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. 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
Once cleaning is complete, we will repair all damage caused by the infestation both inside and outside of your property. These include ripped shingles and chewed through sidings. 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. Raccoon droppings can contain roundworm, which is a parasite that can cause serious health problems in humans.
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. Wood rots and metal rusts from the droppings.
Cleanup and Attic Re-insulation
Raccoons love the safety and comfort of home attics. 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. 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 from raccoons can cause significant damage to your attic insulation. Additionally, their urine creates an unpleasant ammonia odor that will only get worse.
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. They can enter your home through very small holes, so it’s important to seal all potential 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.
