As part of the Greater Boston area, Arlington residents are no stranger to encounters with suburban wildlife. While these critters may seem cute out in nature, they can quickly become a nuisance if they decide to invade your Arlington home or business. Raccoons can quickly cause property damage to critical parts of your home’s infrastructure, and they have the potential to transmit dangerous illnesses to you and your loved ones through both direct and indirect contact. Fortunately, Critter Control® of Boston is equipped to eliminate infestations with quick and efficient raccoon removal services.
Signs of Invasive Raccoons on Your Arlington Property
Raccoons are nocturnal, meaning they’re most active during the night. However, they will leave signs that they’ve been in or around your Arlington home or business while you sleep. If you suspect you’re dealing with invasive raccoons, look out for the following signs:
- Five-toed paw prints in dirt or mulch around your property, including on car windshields and along driveways
- Scratched or torn porch screens
- Disturbed outdoor pet bowls, birdfeeders or bird baths
- Toppled over trash cans and garbage thrown around the yard
- Bitten and discarded fruit, vegetables or bulbed flowers
- Squeaking, scratching or hissing sounds coming from your attic or basement, especially at night
- A foul odor coming from behind your walls, attic or crawl spaces
As soon as you notice any signs of a raccoon infestation, contact the professionals at Critter Control® of Boston. The sooner you call, the sooner you can prevent costly damages from occurring.
