Suburban Raccoons

This is a good picture to show what raccoon poop looks like, although readers should be aware that it also depends on their diet. For example, if they are eating berries, the seeds of the berries will show up in the raccoon poop. This may even cause the poop to lose its round tube-like form which is the normal shape of raccoon poop. Generally, it is a little smaller than the size of the poop from a similar-sized dog. About 3/4 of an inch in diameter and about 3 to 4 inches long.  Raccoon poop is not something you should mess with. Take special precautions to remove it. Avoid getting any on your skin or breathing in any of the dry particles that might float in the air. This can cause disease to be transferred to humans.

What Does Raccoon Poop Look Like

This particular raccoon poop indicates that the raccoon has been eating a lot of seeds of some type and that is why some of the poop is not well formed. Raccoons like to use the same area for their poop. You may see piles of raccoon poop in some areas if they have been living in the area for some time.

In other posts on this site, we have pictures of raccoon poop in the attic. If this has happened to you, take special precautions to remove the insulation and the poop. You or the company you hire should use protective clothing and protective breathing apparatus when handling this material. Review some of our other posts about this subject.
