Raccoons are never welcome in the home but many times, the creatures find a way to become roommates with you and your family. You may have no idea that raccoons are actually living in your home until you see one or hear noises coming from the attic space. Raccoons commonly call attics home and raccoon removal services are essential to removing the creature and preventing them from entering your home once again. Learn just what to do to evict the unwanted roommate so you can enjoy your home pest free.
Exterior Inspection
To get started, an exterior inspection will need to be
conducted. This can be done by a raccoon removal specialist or
yourself. Take a look along the roofline and see if you can determine where the
creature might be entering. Raccoons are very strong and intelligent and gain
access to the attic space via soffits, siding and vent systems. Clues are
always left behind so you can see the entry point in which they are gaining access
to your home. You may be able to see such clues from the ground or may need to
climb on to the roof for a close-up inspection.
Stopping Entry
Once a removal specialist has examined the exterior of the
home, a plan will be put in place. You will be given a written estimate so that
you can see how much it costs to remove the critter and what will take place.
Technicians will start by examining the actual attic for raccoon babies. Babies
will be removed and placed in a container for safe keeping. The baby box will
be placed near the entry and exit point of the mom so she will be able to come
out and then be removed to another area, far away from your home.
The technician will then inspect your attic for any damages
and make recommendations as to what might need to be done from clearing out
debris to cleaning up damage such as chewed wood boards or feces.
Once all raccoons have been removed from the home, the
technician will then get to work securing the entry points. Grating is added to
the area to keep critters such as raccoons from entering once again.
Deodorization is a key component as well since raccoons leave behind a scent
that can attract more raccoons. By deodorizing the area, you will not have the
same problem again.
Sometimes a one way door is used to see the adult raccoons
removed from the home. If this is used, the technician will return to your home
once the raccoon has exited the attic space. The door will be removed and
grating put in place to ensure critters cannot gain access once again.
