Problem with Raccoon
The main complaints for raccoons we get are:
- Raccoon sounds like a person walking around in the attic.
- Raccoon is making noise about 10-12 pm and about 5-6 am in the attic.
- Baby raccoons are chattering and scratching in the walls and ceiling.
- Raccoon is in my chimney
About Raccoon
Raccoons are mostly nocturnal. Adult raccoons weigh
between 6-25 lbs. Raccoons are opportunistic feeders and
will eat just about anything from garbage, fish, fruits,
pet food to baby birds and frog legs. Raccoons are good
climbers and can access just about any roof or attic.
Raccoons do not hibernate, but can spend extended periods
of time in their den during cold spells. Raccoons are
usually solitary except for females with their young.
Raccoons breed in January to February and have an average
litter size of 3-5. Raccoons can carry rabies and
distemper and can become aggressive when approached.
