Expert Wildlife & Raccoon Removal by A1 Exterminators
Professional Raccoon Removal & Wildlife Control for Homes and Businesses
Raccoons may look harmless, but they’re highly intelligent, persistent pests that can cause significant property damage and pose health risks. These nocturnal nuisance animals are well-adapted to live in urban and suburban environments across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Southern Maine. If you hear noises in your attic at night or see overturned trash cans, you may have a raccoon problem.
Why Are Raccoons a Problem?
Raccoons are omnivorous scavengers and will eat nearly anything:
- Garbage and food scraps
- Pet food (even indoors if they gain entry)
- Bird seed, compost, and other household waste
They are fearless around people and pets, and have been known to raid homes, garages, and even pet doors to access food. Raccoons are also excellent climbers and very strong for their size, making them tough to keep out without professional help.
If raccoons have made their way into your attic, basement, or garage, call us today for fast and humane raccoon control
Common Raccoon Behaviors
- Active at night (nocturnal), often seen tipping over garbage cans
- Break into attics, basements, garages, and sheds
- Tear through ductwork, insulation, and wiring
- Nest inside chimneys, crawl spaces, and behind walls
- Can live up to 12 years and weigh over 50 pounds in northern states
Their distinctive ringed tail and masked face make them easy to identify—but also easy to underestimate. These clever animals can open containers, climb fences, and squeeze through small openings.
Health Risks of Raccoons
In addition to property damage, raccoons pose serious health threats to humans and pets:
- Rabies: A deadly virus transmittable through bites or saliva
- Raccoon Roundworm (Baylisascaris): A parasite found in raccoon feces that can infect humans
- Fleas, ticks, and mites: Frequently carried into homes by raccoons
- Contaminated attic spaces due to feces and urine buildup
