Why Raccoons Are a Nuisance in Dallas

Raccoons will look harmless with the masked face and inquisitive nature, yet once they gain entry to your house, they present some serious threats. In the city of Dallas, raccoon distributions occur regularly because the urban neighborhoods mingle seamlessly with the forests as well as offer ready access to food. When there are scratching noises coming from your attic or garbage dumpsters are tipped over in the yard, it usually dictates that professional Dallas raccoon removal be performed.

Dallas neighborhoods, ranging between Lakewood to Oak Cliff, offer the raccoons everything they require: shelter, food, and water. When they enter a house, once they get the access, the danger intensifies.

• Property Damage: Raccoons rip open insulation, ducts, and roofing materials to gain access to nesting areas.
• Health Hazards: They usually have their droppings that contain roundworm eggs, which are dangerous to both people as well as domestic animals.
• Electrical Hazards: Rats can chew on the wiring, and this will get electrical fires started.
• Water Intrusion: Holes that are created by the raccoons can lead to leaks that compromise wall ceilings.
• Smells: Feces and urine contain very strong, unfriendly aromas that permeate the house.

Neglecting these risks can cause a mild issue to grow into costly repair work.

Identifying the Signs of Infestation

Early recognition of raccoon activity is best used to restrict damage. Nighttime sounds coming from the attic, most notably scratching, thumping, or scurrying, are among the most common indicators. Scat that is similar to small dog droppings, sometimes containing undigested food matter, is also a very obvious indicator. 

Olfactory symptoms are also very common, as most homeowners report a powerful musky scent that results from the urine of the raccoons, which propagates rapidly within confined spaces. Oil-based smudges around points where entry occurs sometimes happen as the raccoons deposit oil-based droplets off their fur.

Ductwork, insulation, and roofing materials are common casualties following a raccoon infestation, as the animals probe about for appropriate nesting sites. Trash cans and garden beds are also common sites, as the raccoons tip over pails, tip food about, and rip up vegetation. 

Tiny human hand-shaped tracks may be observed around entry sites, sometimes outlined in dust or dirt. Each of these is an indicator of an active infestation that needs professional attention pronto.
