\"raccoon<\/a>This homeowner has a huge problem. Not only have raccoons invaded his attic. They have made a hole into his attic and distributed insulation and other material all over the roof. There will also be a raccoon scat on the roof. Raccoon scat or raccoon poop is messy and dangerous to other animals and humans. If you have this problem you need to be careful and avoid touching or inhaling the dust from the attic and the roof. We will explain why later in this post. The first step is to remove the raccoons and prevent them from entering your attic.<\/p>\n

This can be accomplished by installing a one-way trap door over the entrance to their den, inside your home. This way the raccoons can get out but not back inside. Use heavy gauge wire mesh when constructing the trap door. Also, install the wire mesh over all other potential openings into your den. If they already have babies, you will need to wait until they are old enough to travel on their own. If they are left inside the parents will tear your roof apart trying to get back in. Once they are out you can begin repairs.<\/p>\n

Dealing with Raccoon Scat on the Roof<\/h3>\n

raccoon feces or scat has millions of roundworm eggs in it. These eggs can survive harsh conditions. If the feces dry out, the eggs will still survive and will float in the air where they can be breathed into your lungs. Roundworms in humans can cause blindness and even death. If you are dealing with raccoon scat on the roof, take precautions when you remove it. Wear a breathing mask and dispose of the scat in a tightly sealed bag.<\/p>\n

Keep your pets away from the feces. also throughout any house material such as insulation using the same kind of protection. This is really an environmental hazard to humans. Depending on how long the raccoons resided inside your attic, you may have to have all of your insulation removed and replaced. Hire a professional team to remove everything inside your attic. They will employ proper protective measures to keep themselves and your family safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
