If you see a raccoon in your yard, it is important to avoid contact with the animal and to call a professional animal control service for removal. Attempting to remove a raccoon on your own can be dangerous, as these animals can be aggressive if they feel threatened.
Severe Structural Destruction: Raccoons don't look for existing holes—they create them. They regularly rip open soffits, tear off heavy roof vents, and destroy fascia boards to gain access to your home's warmth.
Insulation & Ductwork Damage: Once inside an attic, raccoons will completely trample, compress, and ruin your home's insulation, while actively tearing apart HVAC ductwork lines to clear space for their dens.
Biosecurity & Health Hazards: Raccoon latrines pose a severe health risk. Their waste can carry raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), a dangerous parasite whose airborne spores remain resilient for years, alongside traditional risks like Rabies.
