Raccoon Behavior and Risks

Raccoons are renowned for their intelligence, enabling them to thrive in various environments, including urban ones. They often infiltrate residential areas, seeking food and shelter, resulting in potential conflicts with homeowners. Understanding their behavior can assist in managing them effectively. 

Here are some key issues and risks associated with raccoons:

• Property Damage. Raccoons are notorious for their destructive tendencies. As they search for food or nesting areas, they can cause considerable damage, tearing up insulation, damaging ductwork, destroying gardens, or chewing through wires and roofing material.
• Disease Risk. Raccoons are vectors of several zoonotic diseases, including rabies and raccoon roundworms. They also carry ticks, fleas, and other parasites, which can spread Lyme disease and other health risks to both humans and pets.
• Aggression. Raccoons are typically docile creatures but can exhibit aggressive behavior when cornered or threatened, which poses a potential safety hazard to your family and pets.
• Nocturnal Nuisance. Being nocturnal, raccoons are most active during the night. Their activities can lead to disruptive noises, such as scratching in the walls or scurrying in the attic, interrupting your sleep and peace of mind.
• Waste Issues. Raccoons leave behind droppings and urine, which create unpleasant odors and pose a health risk due to the diseases they can carry.
