Raccoon Removal In Akron
About Raccoons in Akron
The raccoons in Akron are considered urban raccoons. They are born and raised in an urban ecosystem, and are accustomed to living near humans and our homes. As a result, urban raccoons lack the same natural fear as a raccoon living deep in the woods. This creates a greater risk for both human and animal as conflicts between the two grow in both frequency and severity.
Urban raccoons have learned that humans provide easy access to food. They find it in trash cans, outdoor pet food dishes, and bird feeders. This has decreased their fear of people and attract them to an urban area. Although raccoons are generally not dangerous to people, they can become very protective of a food source and mother raccoons will aggressively defend their young (called kits) if they feel threatened.
When a raccoon decides to move into your home, garage, or shed, they bring with them a host of zoonotic diseases. These are diseases that can spread from animal to humans. Rabies, Baylisascaris, and Leptospirosis are commonly attributed to human exposure to raccoons and raccoon feces and urine.
Contact with an aggressive raccoon and exposure to disease carried by the raccoon are just a few of the reasons that raccoon removal is a job left to an experienced wildlife control professional.
How to Identify a Raccoon Problem
For many homeowners, the signs of a raccoon problem were there for weeks—if not months—but not understood. Destroyed bird feeders. Muddy streaks on downspouts or corners of the home. Remnants of insulation found in the yard or visible on the roof. These are all signs of raccoon activity.
Often times, a homeowner will fall victim to the belief that, “if there were raccoons in my attic I’d hear them.” But raccoons are stealthy animals by nature. They can tear into a home’s attic and reside there for months before anyone notices. Sometimes they are only discovered when urine stains become visible on the ceiling, or the odor from the attic becomes too much to ignore. The longer raccoons are permitted to remain in the structure the more damage they will do.
It is important for homeowners to inspect the exterior of their home regularly for signs of raccoon activity. Look for damage to siding, debris on the ground, and muddy animal tracks on the side and corners of the home.
