Raccoon Removal and Control
Serving Harrisburg PA and surrounding areas
Raccoons are perfectly at home with humans, and often make human habitats their own homes! Raccoons are known for their ringed tails and “bandit” masks…and their affinity for trash cans and any other easy source of human food. They will eat almost anything – pet food, fish, eggs, carrion, lawn grubs, field corn – and will even kill chickens and ducks by biting their heads off.
About Raccoons
About RaccoonsRaccoons are nocturnal, excellent climbers, and have a keen sense of hearing, sight and smell. Their most important sense is touch, and, between their nimble front paws and their mental abilities, they can quickly learn to open locking mechanisms and other devices and can remember the process for years!
While their normal habitat is in the wild, they have made themselves equally at home near humans, given the abundance of easily available food sources. They will sleep or make dens in old trees, garages, abandoned houses and attics.
Raccoon Diseases
Rabies is the most prevalent disease that can be transmitted to humans by bites. Affected raccoons can sometimes be identified by a sickly appearance, impaired mobility and aggressiveness; however some infected animals have no visible symptoms. Keep your distance from all raccoons. If you see any of the signs described above, call us to remove the animal.
Raccoons can also carry a great number of roundworms in their digestive tract. The larvae of these roundworms can be contained in feces and can be ingested by humans through contact with the waste, causing illness and death.
Professional Removal and Control of Raccoons
Toppled trash cans and raided gardens can be a nuisance, but raccoons using the attic or other space for dens can cause a lot of damage. Additionally, since dens are known to several raccoons, eliminating one raccoon will not do the job since other raccoons may then inhabit the same den. Long term infestation can result without removing the animals properly and restricting access to food and sleeping/den areas.
