Scratching Noises
Raccoons are often identified by the noises they make during their nighttime activities. Homeowners might hear scratching, rustling, or thumping sounds coming from walls or attics, indicating that raccoons may be nesting in these hidden areas.
Damaged Property
They are excellent climbers, often scaling rooftops to find and exploit vulnerabilities. Regular inspections are essential to spot damage, such as missing shingles, torn soffit panels, or gaps along roof edges, which these clever animals can use to gain entry.
Raccoon Droppings
Raccoon droppings are both unsightly and hazardous, often carrying harmful parasites and pathogens. These wastes are typically found in areas where raccoons nest or eat and can be identified by their size, shape, and the presence of undigested food particles.
