If you have raccoons in your attic like us, we urge you to stop and consider for a moment some of the safety concerns with raccoons associated with these cute but
Well guess what, the local animal removal companies suggested that we wait for several months. this was due to a number of safety issues about raccoons that we were not aware of. This was intensely frustrating for us. But after listening to them we had to agree with them and followed their advice. After doing some research on the net we found out a lot of things about raccoons. We are trying to help other people by keeping this site up to date and that is why we write about this issue.
For example, if we removed the adults but not the babies, the parents would just come back. If we blocked the entrance that they had made, they would tear our roof apart trying to find a way to get back in and rescue their baby raccoons, so the best thing is to wait until the
Next, they could also be carrying rabies. You definitely do not want to be dealing with this disease, so add this to your list of safety concerns with raccoons. If they do have rabies, be very careful around then. Avoid touching them or anything that they have dropped saliva on. You can tell if they are sick. If they are acting unusual such as being out in broad sunlight, looking for water, and are unafraid of water.
Once they are gone, you still have other safety concerns with raccoons to be careful of. Apparently they can also carry a disease that is left in their feces, which of course is in your attic. The feces will dry in the hot air of the attic and small particles will become airborne if you disturb them. Breathing this material and catching this disease can cause damage to your organs and also death so be very careful.
When we heard about all of these safety issues related to raccoons, we decided to hire professionals. We were looking for a permanent solution to get them out and keep them out. An additional safety issue raccoons is that can you imagine catching one of the raccoons in a trap. Imagine carrying one of these snarling animals out of your attic while it is trying to claw you or bite you. They are not docile when caught. They are alarmed because they are in a trap. Raccoons are alarmed because you are separating the babies from the parents. This is not a fun situation! If the raccoon does have rabies you are sure to be scratched or bitten. Which means you must then go and get the treatment for rabies which is apparently not fun at all.
Better off to take heed of these safety issues regarding raccoons and hire a professional. One who by the way has done this a thousand times and knows exactly how to deal with the situation. They also have the proper equipment which will allow them to go into your attic and spray a deodorizer around the attic. I know it will cost money to get rid of them. But you really do not have a lot of choices once they are in your attic. Do the job right and get rid of them permanently.
