Houston Raccoon Control

What Issues Do Raccoons Cause?

Though raccoons may look harmless, they often cause serious problems for homes and businesses. 

Below are some of the troubles that raccoons may bring:

• Property damage - With sharp claws and teeth, raccoons can damage roofs, insulation, ductwork, and soffits while nesting.
• Health risks - Raccoons often carry diseases and parasites, including rabies, distemper, and roundworms, that can affect people and pets.
• Contamination - Raccoon droppings can contain harmful bacteria, creating unhealthy conditions and health hazards.
• Food and supply damage - If they get inside, raccoons may ruin stored food or goods, leading to loss and extra costs.

In Houston's humid subtropical climate, raccoons can find many places to hide and eat, from backyard fruit trees to crawl spaces under houses. As a result, properties across the region often have repeat visits, especially during the wet season when raccoons look for dry shelter indoors. Fast action helps protect your home or business and keeps seasonal problems from turning into bigger infestations.

Common Signs of Raccoon Activity

Raccoons usually come out at night and they know how to stay hidden, so seeing them is rare. 

Here are some signs that may point to raccoon activity: 

• Nighttime noises - Raccoons often make scratching, thumping, or shuffling sounds in attics, walls, or crawl spaces after dark.
• Tipped trash cans or scattered debris - They frequently raid outdoor garbage bins and may leave food waste and other trash behind. 
• Footprints and tracks - Their tracks look like small handprints with five fingers. You might spot these near possible entry points or in gardens.
• Damage to structures - Raccoons can pry open vents, rip shingles, and make holes in eaves or soffits.
• Droppings - Their droppings are similar in size and shape to dog feces but are darker and have a strong odor.
