Raccoons are adorable mascots of urban living, but they are problematic all the same. They break into attics, where they leave piles of feces and break electric cables. The damages they cause to the roof expose the attic to the elements, which gets the insulation wet and causes mold. A single raccoon invasion can leave lasting damages that cost thousands of dollars in repairs. If you suspect that some raccoons have broken into your attic, give us a call. We offer guaranteed, comprehensive raccoon removal services in the GTA. Call: 657-557-7932.
Raccoons get in the attic by taking advantage of the vulnerabilities they find on the roof. They’re smart, and they recognize which parts of the roof can be exploited. Roof vents, for example, can be torn off, while soffits can be pushed through if there is space for leverage. Raccoons might also widen a gap in the edge of the roof or remove the padding that surrounds a plumbing vent. Once inside, they den in the insulation. Raccoons like to use the same opening in the roof to go in and out of their dens.
Signs of a Raccoon Problem
Raccoons in the attic usually make a lot of noise. They make thumping, scratching, stepping, and chirping noises in the night. A raccoon might also sound like a person dragging their feet. Another sign is the presence of feces in the attic, on the roof, or somewhere in the yard. Raccoons like to deposit their feces in the same locations repeatedly, which creates piles. Prolonged invasions may leave stains on the ceiling as their feces and urine seep down from the attic floor. Finally, you might notice that your roof is damaged or that there is a serious amount of raccoon activity on your property.
Contact a Wildlife Removal Company for Help
The best way to get rid of raccoons is to hire a professional. This way, a technician can safely find the opening that the animals are using, then draw them out of the attic with a one-way door. The one-way door works like a pet door. It lets raccoons leave when they want to, but it prevents them from coming back. Once out, the raccoons find another place to den. An added benefit to hiring a professional is that they can wildlife-proof your property for you. They can seal, repair, and fix your roof so that no more raccoons get in the attic.
