Raccoon Challenges in Burlington

Raccoons in Burlington create nuisance problems for home and business owners each and every year. These masked creatures love the abundance of food and shelter sources they can find in areas like Downtown Burlington, Brant Hills and Alton Village. However, as adaptable animals they have learned to find shelter and food in communities all across Burlington.

In this guide, we’ll explore the typical raccoon-related issues encountered by residents, offer ways you can keep them off your property, and introduce how Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control addresses these challenges with professional and humane solutions. Understanding the potential risks these nocturnal animals pose is crucial for maintaining your property’s safety and health. Our aim is to provide you with valuable information and practical advice to handle and prevent raccoon problems effectively.

Raccoon Troubles: What You Need to Know

Despite the beautiful natural spaces like Mount Nemo Conservation Area and Bronte Creek Provincial Park, residents in Burlington face challenges from raccoon activity every year. Understanding their behaviour is key to managing these issues:

  • Property Damage: Raccoons can inflict serious damage by tearing through roof vents, soffits, and chimneys, creating costly repairs for homeowners. As water gets inside these entry points, mold damage can occur.
  • Health Risks: These animals may carry diseases like rabies and roundworm, and their feces can pose health hazards due to airborne spores.

Recognizing signs of raccoon activity, such as damage to vents or soffits and noises from the attic, can help you address potential intrusions early. Professional wildlife control is recommended to manage these issues safely and effectively.

Effective Raccoon Management: Tips and Strategies

Keeping raccoons off of your property requires regular home maintenance. Some of the key ways you can help keep raccoon away are:

  • Secure Garbage: Use tightly sealed or locked trash cans to prevent raccoons from accessing food waste.
  • Maintain Your Yard: Regularly clean up fallen fruit and avoid leaving pet food outside, which can attract raccoons.
  • Use Deterrents: Motion-activated lights or sprinklers can help deter nocturnal visitors. Cut back tree limbs that could serve as access points to your roof.
  • Seal Entry Points: Ensure all potential entry points to your home or business are properly sealed. Professional assistance may be needed for thorough sealing.
  • Professional Help: For persistent or extensive issues, contact wildlife control experts to ensure humane and effective removal.
