Raccoon Control<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Raccoons are awful cute for a nuisance pest. But the reality is, having raccoons around is not a good thing. Although they have their own place in the Eco-system, they are not a welcomed presence on our properties. Raccoons can be incredibly destructive; not just to the exterior of a property, but also to the inside if they are able to gain access. So when it comes to spotting raccoons on your property, you should be concerned of their potential impact. To abate nuisance raccoon activity around your property, you will need professional Louisville raccoon control services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for raccoons being a physical threat, you should be afraid. Raccoons are common carriers of several communicable diseases, which can be transmitted through blood, feces, or urine. Common diseases include Rabies, Leptospirosis, distemper, mange, roundworm, and more. Raccoons can also spread lice, mites, ticks, and other parasites which can be passed on to both people and pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do if You See a Raccoon<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Raccoons are not likely to attack a person or pet unless\nthey are provoked. So simply seeing a raccoon in your yard or on your patio is\nnot an immediate threat. However, you should still keep your distance. Keep all\npets inside as well. The rule of thumb is to never, under any circumstances,\nattempt to approach, touch, trap, harm, or kill a raccoon. Instead, just wait\nfor them to go away. If they are still there after some time, you can try to\nscare them off with loud noises from the window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
