Surprisingly, yes raccoons can scale up brick walls along with other surfaces including downspouts, trees, sidings, but cannot climb on surfaces such as glass, metals, and other surfaces that are smooth. Raccoons have amazing climbing skills to survive and thrive in nature, and use the same advantage in the urban cities. Raccoons scale up trees constantly in nature and use tree hollows to rest in. Other times, raccoons use hollows of tree trunks. This behaviour can be easily replicated in the chimney where raccoons often house their baby raccoons in.
Raccoons are destructive animals and will break into your houses at any point. To have raccoons removed call the professionals from Raccoon Control.
Raccoons also use their incredibly dextrous paws to manipulate objects with and this is an indispensable tool that made them successful in the city. They can open locks, doors, fridges, and break into man-made structures with sheer force alone. Most of the raccoons that look for a warm and safe place to stay during the colder periods will therefore break into the attic which gives them ample space to do whatever they please. The situation gets even worse once people realize that the raccoon is just a big latrine for them where they can defecate and urinate whenever they want without facing any consequences. That is why it is important to recognize the signs and the sounds of a raccoon occupation so that action can be taken right away.
One of the most tell-tale signs s the presence of noise late at night. Since raccoons are nocturnal mammals, they will be inactive during the daytime and will strike and hunt for food at nighttime. If you hear suspicious noises coming such as random rattling noises, you might be hearing a raccoon in action that is going through trash for food. If you see a trail of trash or toppled over garbage bags then you can assume that those weren’t some annoying kids, but some raccoons looking for a midnight snack. Raccoons are incredibly problematic since they will take any opportunity to get food, even when it means fishing it out of the pond.
