The initial and most crucial proactive step is to remain vigilant about your surroundings. Raccoons, being largely nocturnal critters, are most active during the twilight hours. Therefore, any peculiar noises in the dead of night, unusual rustling sounds arising from the direction of your attic, or any unaccounted-for disturbances should have your alarm bells ringing. Additionally, keep an eye out for any signs of damage to your soffits and roof vents, there are common access points. Also, keep a lookout for any signs of trash cans being tampered with, this is an early indicator you have raccoons setting up shop on your property. The sooner you identify these subtle indications, the lesser will be the risk of a full-blown raccoon infestation or the possibility of these pests causing significant damage.

In situations where young ones are present, our team members will cautiously transfer them into an insulated box placed near the exit point. This special arrangement enables the mother raccoon to safely relocate her cubs once the coast is clear, ensuring no harm comes to the raccoon family during the process.
5. Initiate Thorough Cleanup and Remove Potential Attractants:
The last step is primarily preventive and involves maintaining cleanliness around your property. Raccoons tend to leave behind contaminants such as nesting materials as well as feces and urine. It’s important to clean these areas quickly to prevent any odours from acting as invitations for future invasions. Also, ensure that you do not inadvertently lure these creatures by leaving potential food sources or attractants accessible. Regular housekeeping and decluttering substantially decline the chances of a recurrence of raccoon visits.
