Rhode Island Raccoon Treatment

How To Identify A Raccoon Problem

Appearance - Raccoons are typically about 12 inches tall, 24 to 38 inches long, weighing 15 to 22 pounds. They have a distinctive black fur “mask” on their faces, and their tails are black ringed.

Behavior - While raccoons tend to shy away from humans and also are nocturnal, you may catch a glimpse of a raccoon around your home if they have made themselves comfortable on your property or inside your home. Garbage cans may be tipped over and rummaged through; raccoons may leave little hand-like footprints outside. You may hear something larger than a mouse creeping upstairs in your Rhode Island attic. Raccoons are also fond of taking down bird feeders and raiding gardens. They can damage shingles and chimneys if given the opportunity to get onto your roof.

Why You Might Have Raccoons

Raccoons are highly adaptable and can find themselves anywhere from a rural farm to an urban apartment. They are attracted to food, and each one of us has a garbage can full of delicious items that raccoons would love to munch on. For those who enter your home, raccoons are most likely looking for safety and shelter in your Rhode Island home.

Reasons To Treat Your Raccoon Problem Immediately

Raccoons can scatter garbage from your Rhode Island home, eventually attracting other animals and posing a health hazard for you and your family. It’s best to contact a professional before this happens to your home.

Raccoons that make it inside your home can cause structural damage or can get into your insulation to make a home for themselves and their raccoon family.

Calling us to perform Rhode Island raccoon control ensures you and your family will be safe and that the Raccoons will have to find another place to call home.
