RACCOONS IN BASEMENTS – HOW TO GET RID OF THEM

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on raccoons in basements. If you’re experiencing problems with raccoons in your basement, you’re not alone. Raccoons are notorious for finding their way into homes, and basements are a common target. In this article, we’ll provide you with everything you need to know about raccoons in basements, including how to prevent them from getting in, and what to do if they’re already there.

Why Do Raccoons Enter Basements?

Raccoons are excellent climbers and can easily gain access to your home through small openings or cracks in your foundation. Once inside, they often find their way to the basement, where they can create a cozy den. Basements are attractive to raccoons because they provide a warm, dry, and protected environment for them to raise their young. In addition, basements often have access to food and water sources, such as pet food or leaky pipes.

How To Prevent Raccoons From Entering Your Basement?

The best way to prevent raccoons from entering your basement is to seal off any potential entry points. This includes checking for any holes or gaps in your foundation, walls, and roof. You should also make sure all windows and doors are properly sealed, and any vent covers are secure.

Additionally, you should remove any potential food or water sources from your basement. Store all food in airtight containers, and make sure all pipes are leak-free. If you have pets, be sure to feed them during the day and not leave any food out overnight.

What To Do If Raccoons Are Already In Your Basement?

If you suspect that raccoons are already in your basement, the first step is to confirm their presence. Look for signs such as feces, tracks, and chewed-up items. If you do find evidence of raccoons, do not attempt to remove them yourself. Raccoons can be dangerous and carry diseases, so it’s best to call a professional wildlife removal service like us.

Our wildlife removal service will assess the situation and use humane methods to remove the raccoons from your basement. They will also identify any entry points and can seal them off to prevent future infestations.

Conclusion

Raccoons in basements can be a nuisance and pose a risk to your health and safety. To prevent them from entering your home, seal off any potential entry points (make sure there are no raccoons present first) and remove any food or water sources from your basement. If raccoons are already present, call our professional wildlife removal service to safely and humanely remove them. By taking these precautions, you can protect your home and family from the dangers of raccoons in basements.

It’s important to remember that raccoons are wild animals and can be dangerous if cornered or threatened. Be cautious when dealing with raccoons and take appropriate safety measures to avoid being bitten or scratched.

At Virginia Professional Wildlife Removal Services we are constantly striving to advance our education so that we may serve you better.
