Identifying a Raccoon Infestation

Raccoons are very clever creatures and can often go unnoticed until they cause significant issues. Understanding the signs of raccoon activity can help you assess your property for potential infestations and take prompt action to safeguard your home.

Inspect your property for:

Tracks: Raccoon tracks can often be found in muddy or dusty areas. Due to their dexterous front paws, they resemble handprints with long fingernails.
Droppings: Raccoon feces are often found on roofs or in trees, so be sure to check these areas as well.
Disturbed garbage: Open trash cans or ripped trash bags are strong indicators that raccoons have been searching for food.
Noises: Listen for unusual sounds in your attic or walls during the night, such as thumping, scratching, or chattering, which raccoons often make when they're active.
Visible raccoons: Spotting raccoons during daylight hours is unusual and often suggests they have made your property their home. Be particularly cautious if you see them during the day, as they are typically nocturnal.

If you think you may be dealing with raccoons, work with AAA Pest Control to implement effective solutions.

Common Raccoon Removal Methods

Raccoons are smart critters and are pretty common in our area of South Florida. They are attracted to food and garbage and are usually seen around dumpsters or garbage cans near restaurants, grocery stores, and neighborhoods. Raccoons are generally non-aggressive but will bite and scratch if cornered. Trapping is the most effective and humane way to evict raccoons from your property, but our team may use other methods to get these animals away from human spaces.

Trapping

Non-lethal traps may be necessary to prevent raccoons from using your attic or other parts of your house as a nesting site. We start by conducting a thorough inspection to identify all potential entry points and assess the extent of the infestation. Once we have a clear understanding of the situation, our trained technicians employ state-of-the-art traps that are strategically placed in high-activity areas to safely capture the raccoons without causing them undue harm. After trapping, we relocate the raccoons in accordance with relevant wildlife regulations and release them into suitable habitats. Additionally, we provide recommendations and assistance with sealing entry points to prevent future incursions.

Repellants

There are many compounds on the market advertised as raccoon repellents. Some are effective at repelling raccoons that are simply roaming in search of a new territory. However, a female raccoon with young in the nest is a much more challenging situation since she is not likely to be repelled from her nest and abandon her babies by simply using a repellent. The best way to acquire the most effective raccoon repellant for your unique situation and apply it properly is to enlist the help of our trained professionals.

We utilize natural and eco-friendly repellent formulations that are safe for both humans and the environment, targeting raccoons' keen sense of smell to create an unwelcome atmosphere for them. We carefully assess your property to identify the nature of your raccoon problem, the best repellants to use, and the best places to apply them.

Our team is ready to help you find the right combination of traps, repellants, and other methods to remove raccoons from your property. Call AAA Pest Control at (954) 738-7430 today to get started!

Raccoon Prevention Tips

Proactive raccoon prevention involves minimizing these animals’ access to shelter, food, and water. This could include safeguarding your trash cans, rearranging your landscaping, or engaging in thorough home maintenance.

Cutting Off Raccoon Entry Points

Raccoons can cause structural damage as they try to enter buildings, such as attics, where they like to nest. They also have an affinity for roofs and chimneys. It’s important to reinforce these areas to keep raccoons out and prevent structural damage. Large gaps, crawl space access doors, chimneys, gable ends, areas under the eave, areas under decks, garage door openings, and any other holes over four inches in diameter should all be properly sealed to cut off access points. Your vents and soffits should be animal-proof, and mesh caps and screens should be installed over unavoidable openings like chimneys.

Lastly, it’s important to address any tree branches or other landscape features that give raccoons a platform to access your roof. Trees should be cut back to around the perimeter of your home to give raccoons fewer hiding places and entry points.

Limiting Raccoons’ Access to Food and Water

The cleaner and more well-organized your home or business is, the harder it will be for raccoons to find the food and water they need to make themselves at home. Start by keeping trash cans clean and free of debris, and where practical, store refuse containers inside a garage or other secure area. Set them out for collection in the morning rather than overnight to minimize nighttime scavenging. Make sure that your trash cans have tight-fitting lids, and if raccoons are persistent, secure those lids with heavy-duty bungee cords or straps. You can also place them in a storage rack to prevent them from tipping.

Further preventive measures include avoiding leaving pet food outdoors, removing fallen fruit from trees or bushes, and managing compost piles to prevent raccoons from feeding on scraps. If you have bird feeders, consider removing or emptying them if you suspect they might be attracting raccoons. For gardens, installing an electrical fence around the plot can help keep these critters at bay. In decorative water features like fishponds, using wire mesh to cover the pond can prevent raccoon access.

It's also essential to address any low spots where water may collect by filling them in or ensuring proper drainage. Directing downspouts away from your house and securing swimming pools with covers at night are also effective ways to limit raccoons’ access to water and discourage their presence on your property. In cases where raccoon feces are found in a pool, contact your maintenance company to ensure proper disinfection, as feces may pose health risks.
