Raccoons might look cute, but permitting them to live in your home is a serious concern. These clever and adaptable creatures bring the wild inside (somewhere it shouldn't be!)

Raccoons love living indoors because it provides them with shelter, warmth, and food. As such, it can be hard to get them out. What's more, they can damage insulation and carpet your interiors with foul-smelling feces and urine, leading to a higher risk of rabies and roundworm.

The biggest sign you have a raccoon in the attic is night-time thumping and crashing. But you may also notice other issues, like large entry holes in the roof or scattered trash (where raccoons have been searching for food).

If you don't deal with raccoons quickly, they may establish dens and expand their families. And the more they do this, the more damage they'll cause.

At Nature Shield, we know how uncomfortable it can be to have raccoons in your home, especially if you have children or pets. But you're not alone with this issue. We've helped countless homeowners in the same position, and we can assist you, too.
