Raccoons may look harmless, but they can cause significant issues if left unchecked. From structural damage to serious health hazards, these animals can create costly problems, including:

  • Property damage: Raccoons are known for tearing apart roofing, insulation, and siding to access shelter in attics or crawl spaces. Their presence can also damage electrical wiring, which may pose a fire hazard.
  • Health risks: Raccoons are carriers of diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, and raccoon roundworm. Their droppings can contaminate living spaces, putting you and your family at risk of serious illnesses.

Hiring professionals ensures that the raccoon problem is addressed properly and prevents further risks. At DixieLand Critter Gitter, LLC, we create tailored wildlife management programs designed to meet your unique needs. Our team conducts thorough inspections to identify potential entry points, nesting areas, and signs of infestation.

Our Comprehensive Raccoon Removal Process

Our approach to raccoon removal begins with a comprehensive property inspection. We focus on identifying how raccoons are entering your home or business, where they are nesting, and the extent of the damage. From there, we implement a custom removal and prevention strategy that includes:

  • Humane trapping: We use state-approved traps that allow us to capture raccoons without causing unnecessary harm. Once trapped, the raccoons are safely relocated following local wildlife regulations.
  • Damage assessment: During our inspection, we will assess the damage caused by raccoons and provide recommendations for repairs to prevent further infestations.
  • Exclusion techniques: To prevent raccoons from returning, we implement exclusion techniques such as sealing entry points, repairing damaged areas, and installing deterrents.

At DixieLand Critter Gitter, LLC, we not only focus on removing the raccoons but also take steps to prevent future infestations. Our team uses Integrated Pest and Wildlife Management (IPWM) principles, which emphasize long-term solutions. We aim to protect your property by eliminating attractants and implementing physical barriers to wildlife entry.

Understanding Raccoon Behavior & Effective Prevention Tips

To better protect your property, it helps to understand the behavior and habits of raccoons. These nocturnal animals are highly intelligent and opportunistic, often drawn to human homes for food and shelter. By learning more about their tendencies, you can take proactive steps to prevent future invasions.

Common Raccoon Behaviors:

  • Opportunistic feeders: Raccoons will scavenge for food, often finding easy access to pet food, garbage, and bird feeders. These food sources are major attractants, drawing raccoons closer to human habitation.
  • Skilled climbers: Raccoons are agile and can easily climb fences, trees, and even homes. They use their dexterous paws to open garbage cans, pry open vents, and access attics or chimneys.
  • Nesting habits: Raccoons often seek out quiet, dark spaces for nesting, such as attics, chimneys, or crawl spaces. They will tear through insulation and wiring to create nests, leading to structural damage and potential fire hazards.

Proactive Prevention Tips:

  • Secure trash cans: Use raccoon-proof trash bins with secure lids to prevent raccoons from accessing food waste. Avoid leaving garbage bags outside.
  • Eliminate food sources: Keep pet food indoors and clean up any food waste or spills around your property. Store bird feeders away from your home to reduce attractants.
  • Inspect and seal entry points: Regularly inspect your home for potential raccoon entry points, such as gaps in the roof, soffits, vents, or chimneys. Seal any openings with durable materials like metal mesh or hardware cloth.
  • Install motion-activated lights: Bright lights can discourage raccoons from entering your property. Installing motion-activated lighting around key areas can help deter them.
