Common Signs of Raccoon Activity<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are various hints, signs, and evidence that suggest raccoon intrusion.  Indoors, if you experience scratching and rattling noises in the evening, this could mean you have raccoons in your chimney, crawl space, roof, or attic.  The noises will sound peculiar but consistent, and may even sound like high pitched squeaks.  This could mean there are baby raccoons inside your home that have just been born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside, look for evidence that points toward raccoon invasion.  You can look for paw prints in sand, dirt, and mulch.  Also, if your trash cans are being ripped open nightly, you could have a family of raccoons nearby looking for food.  If gardens are tampered with, roof shingles go missing, and bird feeders are being ripped down, there may be a colony of raccoons living on or next to your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended Raccoon Control Methods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent new colonies of raccoons invading your property this spring and summer, take note of some precautionary measures.  To reduce the likelihood of raccoons invading your yard, do not make your property attractive to them in the first place.  This means, do not leave trash or garbage cans outside, do not leave pet food outdoors, trim tree limbs that hang too close to your roof, and most importantly, contact a local Indianapolis wildlife control company<\/a> to seal your property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Licensed critter removal contractors retain the proper permits, knowledge, and resources to safely remove raccoons and implicate prevention strategies to avoid a future intrusion.  Outsourcing professional animal control services is a crucial step to seasonal preventative maintenance if you have already spotted raccoons near your property. One raccoon means more, and they could very well already be inside your home!  It is important to have a professional inspect first, to entirely eliminate a raccoon infestation problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
