Aldine Raccoon Removal
It is difficult to get rid of wild animals living in attics. A licensed wildlife control professional must do this. Once you have identified the source of their entry, it is important to seal off any other possible points of entry. Set up traps to capture the wild animal, and then release it in a more suitable habitat at least 5 miles from your home.
A live trap is considered the most effective way to get rid of these wild animals from your attic. Live traps allow you to safely remove the raccoons from your home without harming them. There are two types of traps, but it is usually a matter if you prefer one or the other.

Wildlife Removal and Pest Control
It is not a good idea to use poison to rid raccoons. Raccoons can track them in your home, creating a safety hazard for you and your family. Raccoons will also crawl in hard to reach places to die and the smell of a decomposing raccoon in your ceiling or attic can be very difficult to remove. You should consider hiring a wildlife control service provider that specializes in wildlife removal. Our specialists never use poison to get rid of raccoons. Exclusions and trapping are a safer and more humane way to get rid wild animals.
Raccoon Repellents
One common misconception is that repellents or deterrents alone will work to get rid of wild animals. This is false. In fact many companies who offer such measures use scare tactics like strobe lights or loud noises which only serve as temporary fix until the raccoons adapt to what’s going on outside nest area.
Raccoon Feces
Aldine TX rats are intelligent and can damage your house. I can’t tell you the variety of phone calls we’ve gotten about raccoons trashing an attic, gnawing through plumbing, and even envious male raccoons unleashing their temper on some young juveniles (not a beautiful sight!
Raccoon Infestation Signs
There are a few tell-tale signs that you might have raccoons living in your attic or under your house. There will be unpleasant odors such as urine and droppings, exterior damage to your house, scratching sounds inside the walls or attic, and strange sounds when the sun sets. You might also notice that there’s garbage cans tipped over, missing pet food or even pets behaving strangely.
Unpleasant smell of droppings
It is not only unpleasant to smell the decomposing waste left behind by these animals, but it can also cause serious health problems such as allergies, asthma, and other conditions.
Exterior damage to your home
Raccoons love to find a warm and cozy place to live. In order to find this, they will tear apart anything that gets in their way including roofing shingles or vents for instance! If there are raccoons in your home, it is possible to see holes and tears. This could be dangerous as well because insulation materials may have been tampered with potentially exposing wiring within walls and ceilings thus increasing the chances of fire hazard! Strange noises
Strange noises
Scratching sounds are one of the most common signs that you might have raccoons living somewhere on your property. As they search for food, such as insects or pet food, these tiny creatures make a lot of noises at night. They have sharp claws so when they scratch the floors inside your attic it sounds similar to nails on a chalkboard! They like to go about their business while it’s dark outside so if you hear strange noises at night then there’s a good chance that you may be sharing your space with these unwanted guests!
Tipped over garbage cans
Garbage bins are a big attraction for raccoons. They love to go through them looking for food, which is why it’s not uncommon at all if you wake up in the morning and find your garbage bin tipped over and the trash is scattered all over the place. This is one sign that you may have raccoons on your property.
Raccoon tracks
These furry little creatures leave distinct prints behind from their paws, and they look like a tiny human handprint – five toes in total plus some fur to make up these marks left behind by them when leaving or entering an attic.
Missing pet food
Raccoons aren’t particularly picky eaters so if you find missing pet food this could mean that an animal like a raccoon has taken up residence in the attic above where your pets sleep at night. Anxiety in pets can lead to anxiety.
Pets acting strangely
If you notice that your pets are acting strange, hiding, and not coming out when they usually do then there’s a good chance that something else is going on in the area of where they usually sleep at night. If your pets are running away from fear or commotion, it could be that they need to be moved to a different area.
Attic Clean up and Re-insulation
After it is confirmed that there are no wild animals or babies left, an attic clean-up can be initiated.
Raccoon feces should be treated immediately as it can carry parasites like raccoon roundworm, which can cause serious health problems for humans. This job requires expertise and the use of safety gear like masks, gloves, and suits.
Most of the time, insulation will need to be replaced even if it is not visibly damaged. After all other precautions have been taken, it should be replaced with a new layer.
