Understanding the Problem

Raccoons are night creatures that live well with humans because residences and backyards provide easy access to food, shelter, and water. If they find a comfortable location, they can be destructive. We frequently take calls for Raccoon Removal Fort Worth homeowners who hear footprints in the attic or find trash cans knocked over nightly. In one recent example, a Benbrook homeowner called in with thumping noises happening nightly above her ceiling. Inspection by our wildlife control service revealed a mother raccoon with three young nestled in the insulation. They had ripped ducts, chewed on wiring, and soiled insulation with droppings.

This type of situation is typical all over the city, particularly in the cold winter months when the raccoons need heat. Raccoons are also agile and can tunnel through brick walls, squeeze through vents, chimneys, or missing roofing shingles, and move in fast.

Risks of a Raccoon Infestation

1. Property Damage:
   Raccoons can tear through insulation, air ducts, and shingles in creating nests. Their droppings and urines can mark drywall and reduce the effectiveness of insulation.
   
2. Health Issues:
   Raccoon droppings can have roundworm eggs that become suspended in the air and toxic when inhaled by humans. Their scat also attracts beetles and contains bacteria that lead to lung disease.
   
3. Electrical Hazards:
   Gouged wiring due to raccoon foraging raises the risk of short circuit or fire. We've recorded several Fort Worth cases in which raccoons gorged electrical wires in attics.
   
4. Pet Aggression and Pet Safety:
   Trapped raccoons can become violent. They could bite pets, particularly small pets or cats and also nights, if they sense danger.
   

How to Identify Raccoon Activity

Before you ever meet a raccoon in person, there are some obvious signs that can make their presence known. You could find scratching or thumping sounds in the evening emanating from your walls or attic, typically due to raccoon activity or them nesting. Upset garbage bins, ripped trash bags, and a pungent, overpowering bad scent in small areas such as attics or crawl spaces typically mean you've got droppings or urine. You could also find footprints around two to three inches in thickness with obvious claw marks around areas of entry or noticeable damage to roofs and vents where they've pushed their way in. If you observe just one of these indications, take action promptly. Raccoons reproduce quickly and do more harm with time.
