Animal Damage Roof

Another target for destruction by raccoons is your roof.  When they are trying to get in they will do whatever they can. This includes tearing shingles and ripping into the wood that makes up your roof. Putting you at risk for water damage and rotting wood. 

There are a few tried and true ways to prevent further damages. We can trap them to get them off of the roof. Then,  caps will be placed on the chimney to prevent them from entering. You may also have damage to vents or siding that was damaged during their quest to find a home. Our team can seal the holes to prevent their return. 

In the Yard

Raccoons can be just as big of a problem in your yard as they can in your home. If you hear noises by the outside trash cans at night, you probably have raccoons in your yard. These animals really are clever and they will get into your trash while looking for food.  Sometimes that search becomes about grubs and worms in your yard as well.  We can trap them and safely remove them from your yard. Remember that they can be disease carriers so your pets may be at risk if they are in the yard.

How do raccoons get in my attic?

Raccoons often get onto the roof from nearby trees. They will then scratch and chew their way into the attic. They may find a small gap in a soffit or under an eave and chew and scratch at it until it is large enough for them to pass through and make their way into the attic.
