Can Raccoons Damage Electrical Wires

Raccoons are an absolute pet. They invade your property and destroy everything from your garden to the lovely coy pond you had put in last summer. But the real danger is when they get into your home. They are known as chewers and raccoons. They love to chew threw anything they can find and wires are one of their favourite chew toys. Because of this, they can cause enormous damage to your home in a very short amount of time so it is important to keep an eye out and make sure raccoons don’t come looking on your property for food and water.

A good way to deal with this is to be proactive and take action preventatively. Make sure that all of your pet food is kept indoors and not outside or in the garage. Also don’t feed your pets outside because that tends to spread pet food around the yard and attract wildlife. Make sure any food that has been eaten outside is cleaned up very well and that all garbage is sealed in tight-fitting garbage containers that lock. Store them in your garage to ensure raccoons don’t get access to them and that means having a garage door that fully closes and meets the ground. 

If a raccoon is in your home then you definitely need to get it out. It can destroy your attic and rip wires apart and they will spread disease with their feces and urine and any interaction they may have with your family or pets which may be frequent. They can pass off ticks and fleas and are a serious danger to anyone who touches them. 

So if you have raccoons in your home you need to call Raccoon control to get the right technicians, trained in handling wildlife safely and humanely. This is the best way to remove raccoons from your home and protect it from future incursions.
