As spring unfolds, homeowners often find themselves tackling seasonal upkeep from lawn care to gutter cleaning. But one problem that frequently slips under the radar is the sound of thumping or scratching overhead. If you’ve noticed strange noises in your attic or seen raccoons on your roof, you might be dealing with more than just a curious visitor. This is where raccoon removal services become essential. These animals may seem docile from a distance, but they can bring serious risks to your property and health.

The Hidden Damage Raccoons Can Cause

Raccoons typically break into homes through attics or chimneys, using their strength and dexterity to tear through rooflines or exploit existing damage. Once inside, they build nests and may even give birth to babies often without the homeowner realizing. In the process, they destroy insulation, chew through structures, and contaminate the space with feces and urine.

Beyond structural damage, raccoons can carry parasites like roundworm and are among the top carriers of rabies in Southern Ontario. Their droppings can spread harmful bacteria and diseases to humans and pets, especially small children. And if a raccoon feels cornered, it can become aggressive posing a serious threat if approached.

Why You Should Never Handle It Yourself

Attempting to remove raccoons on your own can be dangerous, especially if babies are present or if the animal appears sick. DIY methods often fail to address the root of the issue, such as entry points and long-term prevention. That’s why calling in wildlife control professionals is the safest and most effective choice.
