Are they in your home’s attic as well. This is the next logical step if you see poop on the roof. They likely have created an entrance somewhere on your roof into your attic and now raccoon poop and urine will be in and on the insulation in your attic. Left long enough, they will raise their young in your attic and make it a year-round home, creating quite a mess.
The moment you ask the question, What Animal Pooped on My Roof, you need to take action. If they are not inside you attic, cover all potential entrances with heavy gauge wire mesh so that they cannot get through. If they are already in your attic, you need to install a one way trap door over the entrance so they can get out but not back in. Cover all other potential entrances with the heavy gauge wire mesh. Once they are out, remove the one way trap door and cover the entrance with the wire mesh after making any repairs that are needed.
Note that if they have babies inside your attic, you are going to have to wait until they are old enough to get out on their own. You do not want them to die inside your attic, and you do not want the parents to rip your roof apart trying to rescue them. Once they are old enough to travel on their own, follow the guidelines above. This is the best long term permanent approach to dealing with raccoons in the attic.
