Raccoon Removal from Attics

You might have heard some noise coming from your attic or discovered trash thrown around the lawn early in the morning. If you haven’t figured it out yet, you might have raccoons on your property!

Raccoon infestation is one of the most common problems for homeowners in Phoenix. For a mother raccoon, your attic is the perfect place to call home. They are the safest locations to raise their baby raccoons.

Many people find raccoons cute with their masks on that can deflect glares from sunlight. However, when they find comfort in your home, you might change your mind. Raccoons are intelligent animals that know a decent house when they see one and will always come back. Sadly, they are untidy and discourteous that will surely make themselves comfortable while living on your property.

They rely on their very sensitive front paws to gain entry into the attic through a variety of entry points. These include roof vents, soffits (vent-like area near the edge of your house), and ridge vents. They might also enter by chewing through screens on windows or doors. Were you aware that raccoons are omnivorous? They will make themselves comfortable at night to search for food sources and scatter garbage cans all around.

Throughout their stay, they will typically leave animal waste, urine, as well as shed hair on your floor or furniture that brings pests like fleas to your home. If you have a raccoon infestation then it’s time for you to contact a raccoon removal company to remove the animals using humane methods. It is also important to clean up the raccoon droppings and seal your house from further entry points to prevent them from coming back.

Raccoon Control vs Extermination

When dealing with a wildlife problem, it’s important to choose the right approach. It’s definitely not the best instinct to call a Phoenix pest control company that will try to poison your raccoons when attempting to remove them. Poisoning is dangerous and can put your pets and family members at serious risk, as these wild animals may carry toxic substances throughout your home.

Many poisons also make raccoons extremely thirsty, which can lead to costly plumbing damage as they search for water. Instead of risking these hazards, trust a Phoenix wildlife control team that uses humane, effective methods. AAAC Wildlife Removal offers professional wildlife solutions for nuisance wildlife of all kinds, ensuring your home stays safe while protecting the animals. Contact us today for expert help you can rely on.

Raccoon Dead Animal Removal

The smell of dead animals is worse after a few days. The pests will find them and may cause damage to your Phoenix attic if they are not properly removed. The process of removing dead animals may require the removal of other materials, such as insulation, drywall, or carpeting, to remove an entire raccoon sometimes buried underneath surfaces.

The sooner you call wildlife control experts after discovering a dead animal, the less the risk that the smell will get worse and may spread to other areas of your property.

Wildlife Removal and Damage Repair Phoenix, AZ

The most effective way to remove raccoons is trapping them, preferably by using a trapping service with proper equipment. You cannot simply go to the hardware store and use whatever you find there to catch raccoons.

AAAC Wildlife Removal of Phoenix is thoroughly licensed and certified by the state.  We make sure to utilize humane traps when removing wildlife because the last thing you need is the smell of dead raccoons wafting down from the attic.

Humane traps generally are available in 2 forms

  1. One way trap doors
  2. Two-way trap doors

One-way traps do a decent job, however, you do a far better job when you utilize a two-way door (since you increase your chances of a catch). You should bait your traps with something delicious. Pet food works, however, you may try a marshmallow as well, because it smells delicious to a mama raccoon and its bright, white color really sticks out in a low visibility attic.

Repellents don’t have much effect on raccoons. In general, the best prevention method is to ensure that there are no entry points for wild animals.  After the raccoons have been caught and removed, it is crucial that you locate the entry hole through which they entered in the first place and close it!

Here’s the Raccoon Removal Process we use with our Phoenix customers

  1. Set and bait traps
  2. Capture the Raccoons living in the attic
  3. Remove nearby food sources
  4. Seal up the entry holes so they can not return
  5. Clean Up the attic (Remove waste and change out insulation if required)
  6. Repair any type of damage done to the interior and exterior.

Attic Cleanup and Re-insulation

Raccoons are aggressive animals that are most active at night. They can cause a lot of damage to an attic area, and the insulation within it. When raccoons get into your home they usually try to find some kind of shelter for themselves which is why you will see them in attics or basements as those areas provide easily accessible refuge from predators outside.

However, because they do not go outside to eliminate waste, raccoons will leave droppings behind. These droppings can contain raccoon roundworm, which can cause illness in humans. The raccoon removal process must be followed by a thorough cleanup by qualified professionals. You should probably have the insulation cleaned or replaced as a result of the damage caused by your raccoons.

Experts at AAAC Wildlife Removal of Phoenix are here to help you with your raccoon removal, attic cleanup, and damage repair work!

Wildlife Control and Damage Repair

Phoenix raccoons are subtle little fellas that can actually damage your home and make a toilet out of your attic. Raccoons usually enter through attic vents or other openings such as chimneys and wells that may not have been sealed properly.

So, after the raccoon removal process and cleanup work, you need to make sure that no new houseguests can enter again! You can prevent this problem from occurring once again with a good net, chimney cap, or an additional barrier.

Our AAAC Wildlife Removal experts in Phoenix have the experience and certification necessary to make damage repairs and secure these entryways so you don’t have to fret about your hairy friends making another appearance!
