Why are Raccoons on the Roof?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, raccoons are always in search of two things:\nfood and shelter. If you see raccoons on your property, this is exactly what\nthey are up to. If you see raccoons on your roof, even just one, this is not a\ngood sign. It means they are attempting to access the attic to make their home.\nRaccoons can enter though loose or missing roof shingles, rotted siding,\ncrumbling mortar, warped rafters, and more. To make matters worse for us but\neasier for them, raccoons have dexterous paws that are almost human-like, thus\nallowing them to easily grip and rip their way into our homes. They can even unlock\nand open doors if they so choose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Protect Your Home From Raccoons<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As soon as you spot raccoons on your property, whether on the roof, in the attic, or around the yard, your first step is to secure your children and pets. Separate all potential access in order to protect everyone from potential exposure. Once your loved ones are safe and secure, your next step is to assess the situation. If the raccoons are already inside your home, immediately contact a licensed Indianapolis Raccoon Removal and Control Company<\/a>, even if it is after hours. Reputable and equipped companies offer 24 hour emergency animal removal service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the raccoons are outside, you can take a more relaxed\napproach. Begin by determining what it is that is attracting raccoons to your property.\nDo you have food and water outside? Raccoons love pet and bird food, as well\nas, gardens and trash cans. Removing these items from your property will help\nabate raccoon activity, instantly. But this is not all you need to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have raccoons on your roof, you need prompt raccoon\ncontrol assistance. A professional and licensed raccoon control specialists can\ninspect your home for vulnerable spots, and seal up any possible entry points\nfor raccoons. From there, they can implement additional strategies to prevent\nraccoon intrusion and trespassing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
