Identifying Signs of Raccoon Infestation
As a nuisance animal, raccoons are one of the most common and most recognizable. However, because they are mostly nocturnal, many homeowners don’t see the creatures themselves. Rather, they notice the tell-tale signs that raccoons have been living on the property.
If you notice any of the following signs, you may have a raccoon problem:
- Garbage cans that are knocked over –
If your garbage cans are knocked over night after night, there is a good chance that you have raccoon visitors. These creatures have a knack for finding trash bins, so if you find that you can’t keep your trash contained, it may be time to call our experts. - Unusual sounds at night –
Racoons can make over 50 unique sounds and noises, including growling, chittering, snorting, squealing, and more. If you’ve noticed these odd noises coming from outside your property, it’s time to call our professional raccoon removal team. - Scratch marks on or around the property –
Raccoons enjoying scratching on the base of trees. In addition to trees, they will often scratch sheds, houses or even porches. If you see animal hair or marks that look worn into your home, you may have a racoon problem. - Presence of tracks –
One of the first signs of a raccoon invasion is the presence of track marks around the property, typically measuring about 4 inches or less. - Raccoon droppings in your yard –
Racoons typically leave their droppings around the base of trees, so you can check here for early signs of an infestation.
Raccoons can carry several diseases, including rabies, which is one of the many reasons you should not attempt to trap and remove them on your own. It is important that you work with licensed raccoon removal professionals, like ours at DixieLand Critter Gitter, LLC.
Duration of Raccoon Removal Process
The duration needed for raccoon removal depends on the extent of the infestation and the techniques employed. Minor cases may be resolved within a few days, whereas intricate situations may require a bit more time. Accurate assessment by the removal service is crucial to offer a dependable estimate of how long the process will take.
Effective Strategies to Prevent Raccoon Invasions
Preventing infestations involves actions like securing garbage bins, removing potential food sources, and sealing entry points around your property. Professionals may recommend trimming tree branches that could serve as access points and maintaining the cleanliness of outdoor areas. Implementing these preventive measures can greatly decrease the likelihood of raccoons returning to your property.
Comprehensive Raccoon Trapping & Removal Solutions
Dealing with raccoons can be tricky. Depending on the extent of your infestation, it may not be as simple as trapping and removing a specific animal. Our raccoon removal specialists will identify how the creatures are getting onto your property and what may be attracting them. We will then help you make your property a less habitable option to prevent them from returning in the future.
We offer a wide range of services designed to fit your needs, including:

We will remove the damaged insulation, sanitize and deodorize the area, and install new insulation.
