How to get rid of Racoons
<- Back to Pest Library

Raccoons may look cute on the surface, but they're destructive pests when they invade your property.

Armed with sharp claws and strong teeth, raccoons can tear through siding, roofs, and attic insulation, turning minor issues into costly property damage nightmares.

Unlike typical pests like mice, rats, insects, coyotes, or even nuisance birds, raccoons are relentlessly persistent. They pry open trash cans, flip them over, raid gardens, and even force their way into homes in search of food and shelter.

Beyond damage, raccoons pose serious health risks. They carry dangerous diseases like rabies and roundworms, and their droppings harbour harmful bacteria that can contaminate your living space.

Raccoons can also become aggressive when cornered or protecting their young, making DIY removal risky and potentially dangerous. For effective, humane raccoon removal, trust wildlife control professionals to handle the problem while keeping your property and family safe.
