Health Risks & Property Damage Caused by Raccoons

Raccoons are not just a nuisance—they can pose serious health and safety hazards. Some risks associated with raccoon infestations include:

Disease Transmission: Raccoons can carry rabies, leptospirosis, and parasites such as roundworms, which can be harmful to humans and pets.
Structural Damage: They may tear up insulation, chew electrical wiring, and damage ventilation systems.
Contamination: Raccoon droppings and urine can create unsanitary conditions, leading to foul odors and bacterial growth.

Prompt raccoon removal is essential to protecting your property and health.

How to Keep Raccoons Away from Your Property

Once raccoons have been removed, it’s crucial to take steps to prevent their return. Our team provides expert guidance and services to secure your home or business from future invasions.

Some effective raccoon prevention strategies include:

Sealing Entry Points: Block off attic vents, chimneys, crawl spaces, and any gaps in siding or roofing.
Securing Trash & Food Sources: Keep garbage cans tightly sealed and avoid leaving pet food outdoors overnight.
Using Motion-Activated Deterrents: Bright lights, sprinklers, or sound devices can scare raccoons away.
Removing Nesting Sites: Trim overhanging tree branches and remove piles of wood, leaves, or debris that raccoons may use for shelter.

Commonly Asked Questions

What's the best thing to keep raccoons away?

The most effective way to keep raccoons away is to remove food sources and secure potential entry points. Keep trash cans tightly sealed, eliminate pet food left outside, and block access to attics, crawl spaces, and chimneys. Installing motion-activated lights or sprinklers can also deter raccoons from your property.

What scent keeps raccoons away?

Raccoons have a strong sense of smell and dislike scents like ammonia, peppermint oil, and vinegar. Spraying these around potential entry points may help deter them. However, scent deterrents alone are not a long-term solution, and professional exclusion services are the best way to prevent raccoons from returning.

Do raccoons cause damage to homes?

Yes, raccoons can cause significant structural damage by tearing insulation, chewing through wires, and damaging vents or roofing materials. Their droppings and urine can also create health hazards. If you suspect a raccoon infestation, it’s best to seek professional removal services as soon as possible.

How do raccoons get inside homes?

Raccoons enter homes through broken vents, loose shingles, uncapped chimneys, or small openings in the roof or siding. They are skilled climbers and can use trees or gutters to reach access points. Regular home inspections and proper sealing of entry points can help prevent infestations.

Can raccoons be dangerous to pets?

Yes, raccoons can pose a threat to pets by transmitting diseases such as rabies and leptospirosis. They may also become aggressive if they feel threatened, especially if a pet gets too close. Keeping pets indoors at night and securing outdoor food sources can help reduce encounters with raccoons.

How common are raccoon infestations in Katy, TX?

Raccoon infestations are fairly common in Katy due to the area's suburban and wooded environments. They often seek shelter in attics, crawl spaces, and garages, especially during colder months or breeding season. Regular property inspections and exclusion measures can help keep raccoons at bay.

What should I do if I see a raccoon in my yard?

If you see a raccoon in your yard, avoid approaching it and remove any nearby food sources. If the raccoon appears sick, injured, or aggressive, contact a professional wildlife control service. Chem-Tech Pest & Grounds Care offers humane raccoon removal to safely handle these situations.

VERY THOROUGH. They found termites in our fence during the inspection to purchase our home.
