If you come across a raccoon in your garage or shed, it could be for many reasons. Raccoons sometimes hide inside homes when they’re sick or injured, and they will also look for warm and comfortable shelter during the cold winter months. In many cases, female raccoons will enter a home anywhere from January to September to build their dens in safe and sheltered places.
A single raccoon, let alone an entire family, can bite and chew the infrastructure of your home, destroying building materials along the way. A presence of a wild animal in a home always means great amounts of urine and feces present, which is never safe. Since they’re wild animals with strong immune systems, raccoons can spread numerous bacterial and viral infections. So, what should you do if you notice a raccoon on your property?
Although cute, Raccoons can show unpredictable behaviour.Expert Raccoon Removal is the Most Humane Solution
There are no justifiable reasons to poison or harm raccoons in any way. In case of a raccoon nest, the best approach is to keep the mother together with her babies, avoiding any measures that would set them apart. Expert raccoon removal ensures that methods used won’t harm the raccoon family, but remove them in the way that’s safest for them and your home. Avoid trying to deter or startle raccoons on your own, doing so will put the mother raccoon at risk of being seperated from her babies. One of the worst things you could do is to drive away the mother using traditional methods, making her leave her babies behind. She will dig, chew and bite through your home to get back to her den, which is both harmful and unnecessary.
