Common Signs of Raccoon Activity
Raccoons are generally active at night and adept at hiding, making it difficult to determine if they are present on your property.
However, there are a few tell-tale signs that indicate raccoon activity:
- Nighttime noises - Raccoons are active at night and may create scratching, thumping, or shuffling sounds in attics, walls, or crawl spaces.
- Tipped trash cans or scattered debris - They commonly raid outdoor garbage bins, leaving food waste and other trash strewn about.
- Footprints and tracks - These resemble small handprints with five fingers. You may see tracks around entry points or garden areas.
- Damage to structures - Raccoons are known to pry open vents, tear shingles, and even create holes in eaves or soffits.
- Droppings - These are similar in size and shape to dog feces but with a darker color and distinct pungent odor.
