Our Comprehensive Raccoon Removal Process
Our approach to raccoon removal is thorough, ensuring the complete elimination of the problem and long-term prevention.
Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to identify the extent of the infestation, entry points, and any damage caused. Our expert technicians will look for telltale signs such as droppings, tracks, and disturbed areas. This thorough assessment allows us to create a customized removal plan tailored to your specific situation.
Humane Removal Techniques
Our primary concern is the humane treatment of animals. We use traps that are designed to capture raccoons without causing them harm. These traps are strategically placed near known entry points and baited to attract the animals. Once captured, we relocate the raccoons to a safe and suitable habitat far from your property.
Exclusion and Prevention
After removing the raccoons, we focus on preventing future infestations. This involves sealing entry points, repairing damage, and implementing deterrent measures. We can repair holes in roofs, reinforce weak areas, and install barriers to keep raccoons out. This proactive approach ensures that your property remains raccoon-free.
Sanitization and Cleanup
Raccoons can leave behind contaminated droppings that pose health risks. As part of our service, we provide thorough sanitization and cleanup of affected areas. We use professional-grade disinfectants to eliminate bacteria and viruses, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for you and your family. Addressing the residential areas will make all the difference.
Understanding Raccoon Behavior
Understanding raccoon behavior is crucial for effective removal and prevention. Raccoons are nocturnal animals, primarily active at night. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in urban environments, often seeking shelter in attics, sheds, and under decks. Their intelligence and dexterity allow them to open doors, climb fences, and access food sources easily. Knowing these habits helps us target our removal efforts and implement the most effective prevention strategies.
Identifying Common Entry Points
Identifying common entry points is key to preventing raccoon infestations. Raccoons often enter homes through damaged roofs, loose siding, uncapped chimneys, and open vents. They can also squeeze through small openings around pipes and wires. By sealing these entry points, we can effectively block raccoons from accessing your property.
Common Problems Caused by Raccoons
Raccoons might seem harmless, but their presence can lead to significant issues for homeowners. Understanding these problems can help you recognize the need for professional intervention.
Damage to Property
Raccoons are notorious for causing damage to roofs, attics, and gardens. They tear through shingles, insulation, and wiring, leading to costly repairs. Additionally, they may raid gardens, damaging plants and vegetables. If you notice unexplained damage to your property, it could be a sign of a raccoon infestation. Remember, pests of all kinds can pose a health risk and if you suspect a termite, ant, or bed bug problem, reach out to the appropriate service ASAP!
Health Risks
Raccoons carry a variety of diseases and parasites that can be harmful to humans and pets. Their droppings can contain bacteria and viruses, leading to infections. Additionally, raccoons may bite or scratch if they feel threatened, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Protecting your family and pets from these health risks is a primary concern. Taking control of your spider, cockroach, or flea problem is also important as well with proper removal and safe pest management.
Contamination of Spaces
Raccoons often contaminate attics and crawl spaces with their droppings and nesting materials. This can create unpleasant odors and attract other pests. Cleaning and sanitizing these areas is essential to restore a healthy environment. Proper cleanup requires professional expertise to ensure complete removal of contaminants.
Nocturnal Disturbances
Raccoons are most active at night, often causing disturbances with their noises. Their scratching, rustling, and vocalizations can disrupt your sleep and create stress. If you frequently hear noises in your attic or around your home at night, it could be a sign of a raccoon infestation. Our experts service other areas of Bakersfield, including Oildale, Rosedale, and also areas further out of town like Arvin and Shafter. Don't forget about your neighbors in Lamont either!
Signs You Need Professional Raccoon Removal
Recognizing the signs of a raccoon infestation early can help you avoid significant damage and health risks. Here are some common indicators that you need professional raccoon removal services.
Unexplained Noises in the Attic
Hearing scratching, rustling, or thumping noises in your attic, especially at night, is a common sign of a raccoon infestation. Raccoons are nocturnal animals, so their activity is most noticeable during the evening hours. Ignoring these noises can lead to extensive damage to your attic and insulation. You might be dealing with a squirrel or other pests as well.
Damaged Roof or Siding
Raccoons often cause damage to roofs and siding as they search for entry points. Look for torn shingles, holes in the roof, or loose siding. These damages not only provide access for raccoons but also expose your home to weather elements. Addressing these damages promptly can prevent further problems.
Raccoon Droppings
Finding raccoon droppings around your property is a clear indication of an infestation. Raccoon droppings are typically dark and tubular, often containing undigested food. They can be found near entry points, in attics, and around gardens. Cleaning up raccoon droppings requires caution to avoid exposure to harmful bacteria and viruses.
Overturned Trash Cans
Raccoons are notorious for raiding trash cans in search of food. If you frequently find your trash cans overturned and scattered around your yard, it's likely that raccoons are visiting your property. Securing your trash cans and eliminating food sources can help deter raccoons.
Visual Sightings
Seeing raccoons on your property during the day is an unusual sign. Raccoons are typically nocturnal, so daytime sightings may indicate a large infestation or a sick animal. Approaching a raccoon can be dangerous, so it's best to contact a professional for removal. Other bees and wasps could pose a risk as well, so be aware.
