Get rid of raccoons in the yard

Raccoons in your yard can cause a huge mess

What to do when you find a raccoon infestation?

It’s not easy to tell if you have raccoons living around your home. Once in awhile, it’s merely chance that you end up getting one on your property. On the off chance that you figure you may have a problem, call AAAC Wildlife Removal and have us investigate. It will give you some peace of mind.

There are a few things you can do around your home to make it less friendly for raccoons and encourage them to relocate some other spot to make their homes.

The first thing is to trim all trees and branches that come into contact with your rooftop. If you have branches near the rooftop, cut them, regardless of how slender they get as they approach your rooftop. Raccoons are lithe and can jump on your rooftop with very little support.

Pruning ought to be done in the fall when raccoons are searching for spots to make their nests. As you’re managing your trees, you should likewise check your rooftop and look for any decaying wood, openings, or weak spots that the raccoons could slip through into your attic.

These tips won’t stop a raccoon infestation in its tracks, yet they could deter it and prevent it from getting out of control. Raccoons search for easy pickings when they need to make their nests. On the off chance that it’s challenging to get in or out of an expected entry hole, raccoons will most likely look for something better.

What you should not do under any circumstances is attempt to poison or kill a raccoon in your home. Poisons can be dangerous to your family. Your pets might get into it and become ill or even kick the bucket.

Kids are in danger of ingesting poison in large part because they have no idea what it is. If you get lucky and the raccoon eats the toxic substance, at that point, it could bite the dust someplace inside your walls and decay there. Then you are looking at a dead animal removal and decontamination job.

Shooting a raccoon can be similarly hazardous. You could hit another person accidentally or harm your home. No need to redo your drywall!

In light of everything, raccoons are generally pests, even if they are cute. It would help if you got them out of your home. However, you don’t have to murder them. What you need is humane wildlife removal from AAAC Wildlife Removal.

I’m a renter- but the owner and myself used AAAC Wildlife Removal for BATS in our roof/attic. They came in and gave us a free estimate and were very thorough. They went around the entire house, in our attic, took pictures and explained everything that is happening (and has happened- previous raccoon invader lol). They had to wait for Aug 15, when the bats pupping season was over- but they came back and sealed 90% of the house (and fixed a few flaws on the house which allowed larger animals), and after 09/15 added excluder tubes to the area the bats were going in and out. We’ve left those tube up for a few weeks and they just returned to remove the tubes, seal up the rest of the house, and went to the attic to spray an enzyme treatment to break down all the urine and feces. They have a 1 year warranty on their work and the sealing stuff they use is good for 10 years. They have done a great job and we couldn’t be more thankful. They also took care of a ground yellow jacket nest for me that I wasn’t aware was even there. Thankfully no one was stung while cutting grass. They offer full service with removal of the old insulation and blowing new stuff in. While we also appreciated that estimate and were hoping Homeowners would help with that cost- they ultimately didn’t so we will need to wait for that to be done after the enzyme treatment works. They explained the dangers of everything, and how things work. We couldn’t be more thankful for the service AAAC wildlife removal provided for us. My family and dogs feel much safer knowing we are BAT FREE! I will absolutely use them in the future for any wildlife removal we may need. Super happy customers! Thank you again!!! **REMINDER- Bats only need a space 3/8 of an inch thick to get into your house! It’s craziness! The circle in the photo is where they had entered. The photos are before and after. They show the problem side of the house- but they sealed the entire way around the house to make sure they could not find any other way inside**
