Learn About Costs and Our Wildlife Control Prices
We are Pennsylvania's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Harrisburg raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Harrisburg pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:
- Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
- Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
- If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
- Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
- When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation
Harrisburg Raccoon Control Tip: What Are The Signs Of A Raccoon Infestation In Your Property?
There are few creatures that can have such a divisive effect on people as raccoons, with some people seeing them as cute and furry creatures they may encounter in the park, and others viewing them as a frustrating problem around their property. It is certainly true that raccoons have a better image in the eyes of the public than many other pest animals, with their traditional bandit's mask appearance in their black and white furry face. However, it is also true that if a raccoon is active around your property it can be a huge problem, and here are some of the signs that you may have a raccoon infestation.
Sounds Of Scratching And Movement Around Your Home
Because raccoons are larger than most other pest animals, and certainly the creatures that can find their way into your property, they do tend to be a little less subtle than some of the other pest animals commonly found in the domestic property. This is one of the biggest signs of a raccoon's presence, with sounds of raccoons moving around and scratching in wall cavities and the attic being a key indicator of the raccoon's presence.
Food Stolen From Pet Food Stores Or Storage Cans
Another of the most common aspects of a raccoon infestation is that they will start foraging for food around your home, and this is another common consequence of having raccoons active around your home. There are a variety of different places from where raccoons can be taken, and stolen pet food and even food canisters that have been opened can be among the food sources that raccoons may take advantage of. Equally, fruit and vegetables that are being taken or eaten from your garden are also often signs of a raccoon being present.
Garbage Torn Open And ExploredProbably the most frustrating behavior that raccoons display around any domestic property is that they will also forage for food among the garbage, and it appears that the scent of food in garbage bags is almost irresistible to these creatures. They will not only tear through garbage bags and spread the garbage as they look for food, but they can even remove a tightly fitting lid from garbage cans or even open the lid to a dumpster in order to get at the garbage itself.
Holes Around The Roof Line Or At Ground Level
In order to be able to live in a domestic property, raccoons will need to find a way in to the property, and as they are rarely welcomed through the front door, raccoons will generally use an existing hole or expand on existing holes to allow them into your home. When it comes to examining your property to find these holes, they are generally found around the roof line, where softer materials used for soffits and vents are easier to break than those used for the walls and the roof, although from time to time they will also make holes at ground level to get into a wall cavity.
What Is The Best Approach To Dealing With A Raccoon Problem?
The most common method of dealing with raccoons is to use traps to catch them, and then to relocate them in an area where they won't be such a problem, where the local regulations allow for this to happen. Raccoons aren't particularly elusive in most cases, so placing a cage trap with a little dog food or cat food as bait in the areas where they are active will usually catch the pest animal within a few days. Once trapped, make sure you cover the trap in a blanket for transportation, and then relocate the raccoon, and if necessary any baby raccoons that are present.
