Raccoon Removal

Does it sound like someone is walking around in your attic at night? You probably have raccoons in your attic.

Raccoons are common throughout most of the United States. They are easily recognized by their black eye mask and ringed (striped) tail.  Raccoons are nocturnal, meaning they do most of their sleeping during the day and are active at night.  Although uncommon, raccoons are sometimes seen during the day.  This is often a viewed as a sign that the raccoon may be sick.  That’s not always true. However, it’s best to avoid a raccoon whether it’s daytime or nighttime.  Raccoons have become accustom to seeing humans on a regular basis, so they may not always run when approached. 

Raccoons are omnivores. They will eat just about anything.  Raccoons commonly eat fruits and vegetables. They also eat insects, fish, and smaller mammals. Eggs, bird seed, and leftovers found in the local dumpster are part of their diet. 

Raccoon breeding season is typically in January-February.  They birth their young, 3-5 kits, in April or May.  The mother raccoon raises the kits herself. They will be able to fend for themselves by the time their first winter comes.
