Signs You Have a Raccoon Problem
To find out if raccoons have moved in, look for signs around your property. You may hear strange noises at night or see changes to the outside of your home. Some common signs of raccoons on your property include:
- Loud Scratching – You will often hear heavy thumping or scampering sounds coming from the ceiling during the night.
- Scattered Garbage – Finding your trash cans tipped over with debris spread across the yard is a classic indicator.
- Exterior Damage – Torn roof shingles or broken vent covers frequently point to forced entry by these strong creatures.
- Pigeon or Bird Cooing – Raccoons make noises that are routinely mistaken for the cooing of birds, like pigeons, when it’s really a sign of a potential raccoon den site.
Where Raccoons Commonly Invade
Raccoons look for warm, sheltered places to nest and raise their young. Attics are ideal because they protect from bad weather and predators. Chimneys and crawl spaces are also quiet spots that people rarely check. If you think a raccoon has gotten in, calling a professional for attic removal can stop the problem from getting worse. Acting quickly helps protect your home.

Upgrading to Exclusion Services

While this is a separate service from our standard removal process, it is a very popular upgrade when we’re already scheduled for a removal appointment.
Raccoons Can Cause Serious Damage
When raccoons get inside, they can tear up insulation and chew on wires, which can cause fire hazards. Their nesting can also damage drywall and weaken your roof. We are here to help you identify, remove, and exclude these animals before they cause extensive damage. Calling wildlife removal specialists like Pest Patrol as soon as possible can help you avoid costly repairs later.
