Raccoon Removal Services: Why Should You Hire a Professional?
Did you hear about the raccoons that broke into a police station just outside of Atlanta recently and wreaked havoc in it before eventually being removed by a raccoon removal services professional? They showed what a big problem raccoons can be in the Atlanta area.
If you ever suspect you might have a raccoon or, worse, more than one raccoon living in your Atlanta-area home, you should do something about it ASAP. Otherwise, it could sustain its fair share of raccoon damage before long.
You shouldn’t ever try removing a raccoon from your home on your own though. You should let a professional provide raccoon removal services instead. It’ll be well worth reaching out to a professional from one of your local pest control services as soon as you start to see signs of raccoons in your home.
Check out several reasons why you should always hire a professional team like Perimeter Wildlife Control to perform pest removal services, especially when it comes to raccoons.
Professional Raccoon Removal Services Can Confirm You Have a Raccoon in Your Home
If you’ve seen a raccoon coming in and out of your home, that’ll be all the proof you’ll need to show that you have one living in your house. But if you haven’t been able to spot a raccoon yet and have only seen signs of raccoons in your home’s area, a professional will be able to provide you with the confirmation you need.
When raccoons are able to get inside homes, they’ll typically set up shop in their attics where they’ll have plenty of space to spread out without being disturbed. A professional will be more than willing to access this attic to see if they can spot signs of raccoons or even raccoons themselves.
By doing this, they’ll be able to tell you whether or not you need raccoon removal services.
Professionals Will Come Up With a Plan for Removing the Raccoons
If you do in fact have one or more raccoons living in your home, the next thing a professional will do is come up with a plan for getting rid of them. Most of the time, this plan will involve putting out humane cage-style traps and waiting for raccoons to climb inside them and get trapped.
Truth be told, trapping raccoons and then either relocating them or euthanizing them when necessary is a simple enough task for a professional. But you shouldn’t try to tackle this task on your own. It could lead to you making your raccoon problem even worse than it already is if you don’t know where to put traps for raccoons.
They’ll Help You Avoid Having to Confront a Raccoon
Of all the different types of wildlife that can sneak into your home, raccoons are some of the most aggressive animals to deal with. They tend to be on the bigger side compared to other forms of wildlife. Raccoons also not always the friendliest animals, which won’t work in your favor if you ever come face-to-face with one.
By hiring a professional like Perimeter Wildlife Control to provide raccoon removal services, you’ll be able to steer clear of having to confront a raccoon or even multiple raccoons on your own. It’ll keep you safe while eliminating your raccoon problem at the same time.
They Can Get Rid of a Raccoon and Keep It Away
As we alluded to earlier, a professional from one of your local pest control services shouldn’t run into too much trouble when trying to capture a raccoon from your home and get rid of it. But keeping raccoons away in the future can be a much taller task.
There are likely holes in or near your roof that gave a raccoon access to your home in the first place. It’ll be important for these holes to be properly repaired so that you don’t have another raccoon problem in the not-too-distant future.
A professional will be able to pinpoint where raccoons were able to enter your home. It’ll put you in a much better position to make the necessary repairs so that you don’t find yourself removing a raccoon from your home again next week.
Perimeter Wildlife Control specializes in making the necessary wildlife exclusion repairs, as well as preventive repairs to keep critters out of your home. Permanently!
They’ll Stop a Raccoon From Doing Additional Damage
If a raccoon is only in your home for a few days, it might not be able to do too much damage right away. But if it’s able to stay there for weeks, months, or years on end, will be a different story.
In this case, you might have all kinds of raccoon damage in your attic space. Raccoons might rip up insulation, scratch up wood, and even chew through electrical wires in some cases.
You’ll want to aim to stop them from being able to do this type of damage as soon as you can. Bringing a professional on board to lend a hand will prevent raccoon damage from taking an even bigger toll on your attic than it already has.
Pros Can Assist You in Cleaning Up After a Raccoon Removal Service
No matter how long a raccoon might be up in your attic, there will no doubt be some urine and feces left behind. Raccoon droppings in particular, can lead to the spread of dangerous diseases like histoplasmosis if you don’t clean it up immediately after evicting a raccoon from your attic.
One of the final ways in which a professional will help you is by helping to clean up the area where a raccoon was located. They can make sure you don’t have to worry about raccoon feces spreading any diseases within your home. You’ll sleep so much better at night knowing a professional oversaw this part of the raccoon removal process. These types of services usually include decontamination or sanitizing.
