Raccoons are one of the most infamous types of urban wildlife. Known for their scavenging techniques as they search for their next meal, these critters can quickly become a nuisance if they make their way inside your Brookline home or business, causing serious damage as they rummage through your property spreading contamination and disease. Fortunately, you don’t have to deal with raccoons on your own. The raccoon removal pros at Critter Control® of Boston are equipped and ready to resolve your growing raccoon problem.
Signs of Invasive Raccoons
The sooner you recognize the signs of raccoons on your Brookline property, the sooner Critter Control® of Boston can get rid of them. You’ll notice the following signs if you’re dealing with invasive raccoons:
-
Disturbed Trash Cans
Garbage cans are one of the most common targets for raccoons, especially in suburban areas. Look out for toppled trash cans and litter thrown around your yard.
-
Property Damage
Basements, crawl spaces and garages are common nesting spots for raccoons. Keep an eye out for weak spots, such as cracks in the foundation or broken plywood, which could be used as entry points.
-
Paw Prints
Raccoons have a distinct five-toed paw print that can be left behind on sidewalks, parked cars, and flowerbeds in your yard.
-
Noises and Smells
As raccoons become more comfortable on your property, you’ll begin to hear screeches, squeaks and hisses, particularly at dawn or dusk when they’re most active. Their droppings will also make a distinct foul odor or strong ammonia smell throughout the home.
The longer raccoons get to stay inside your Brookline home or business, the more damage they can cause. As soon as you notice any signs of raccoons, call Critter Control® of Boston.
