Raccoon in the Attic: What to Do and How to Remove It Safely
Raccoons are curious and resourceful animals, and they are often attracted to attics. They may find their way into your attic through a small hole or opening, such as a vent or a loose soffit. Once they are inside, they can cause a lot of damage. They may tear up insulation, chew on wires, and leave droppings and urine.
If you have a raccoon in your attic, it is important to remove it as soon as possible. Raccoons can carry diseases that can be harmful to humans, such as rabies, raccoon roundworm, and leptospirosis. They can also be aggressive, especially if they are cornered.
Here are the steps on how to remove a raccoon from your attic safely:

1. Call Us At 757-236-6518 This is the safest and most effective way to remove a raccoon from your attic. A professional will have the experience and equipment to safely remove the raccoon and seal up any entry points.
2. If you choose to remove the raccoon yourself, wear gloves and long sleeves to protect yourself from bites and scratches. You should also wear a mask to protect yourself from inhaling raccoon droppings and urine.
3. Locate the raccoon's entry point and seal it up. This will prevent the raccoon from coming back.
4. Set traps outside the attic. Be sure to use traps that are specifically designed for raccoons.
5. Check the traps regularly and release any raccoons that you catch to a wildlife rehabilitator.

Once the raccoon is removed, you should clean the attic thoroughly to remove any traces of the raccoon, including droppings, urine, and fur. You should also seal up any entry points to prevent future raccoon infestations.
Here are some of the diseases that raccoons can carry:

• Rabies: Rabies is a deadly virus that can be transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal. If you are bitten by a raccoon, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
• Raccoon roundworm: Raccoon roundworm is a parasitic worm that can cause serious health problems in humans, especially children. The worm can be transmitted through contact with raccoon feces.
• Leptospirosis: Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can cause a variety of symptoms, including fever, headache, muscle aches, and vomiting. The infection can be transmitted through contact with raccoon urine.

It is important to take precautions to avoid contact with raccoons, especially if you have children or pets. If you see a raccoon in your yard, do not approach it. Instead, call a professional wildlife removal company.
By following these steps, you can safely remove a raccoon from your attic and prevent future infestations. You can also protect yourself and your family from the diseases that raccoons can carry.
