Nuisance Raccoon Activity<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In nature, a raccoon\u2019s innate behaviors are necessary for\nsurvival, and therefore, easy to appreciate. However, in a residentials or urban\nsetting, raccoon behaviors are threatening, and can wind up costing property owners\na lot of time and money. One of the most common nuisance behaviors of raccoons is\ndumpster diving, in which they will go to great lengths to access garbage in\nsearch of food. This leaves behind a huge, unsightly mess. Another nuisance\nbehavior is lawn digging. Raccoons will dig up lawns, shredding every last square\ninch, in search of juicy grubs and larvae. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But perhaps the most destructive behavior raccoons are known\nfor is residential structural damage. Raccoons have long, sharp claws, as well\nas, human-like hands, giving them the ability to rip, tear, pry, shred, and\nopen. As a result, homes can suffer costly exterior damage. In the case of an\ninfestation, the damage takes place inside the home, which is both costly and\ndangerous to your health. Common sites for raccoon structural damage include\nwindows, screens, door frames, siding, roof shingles, patio grates, garage\ndoors, trashcans, gardens, and attics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Stop Raccoons<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Raccoons trespass onto properties for two reasons: food and\nshelter. So, if your property offers any of these amenities, raccoons will\nknow, and they will remember forever. In order to stop raccoons from visiting\neach night, you must make them lose interest in your property. You do this environmental\nmodification. Remove all food and water sources, including pet food, trashcans,\ncompost piles, and even squirrel feeders and bird baths. Block off or lock up\nanything you can\u2019t remove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, remove or block off all possible areas that can serve as shelter, such as tree houses, play sets, jungle gyms, trampolines, junk cars, log piles, porch cavities, and more. Your last step is to contact a local Louisville raccoon removal company<\/a> for professional exclusion work. This entails inspecting your home for possible openings or vulnerable spots that will let raccoons in, and then sealing them to prevent infestations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
