People and Pets<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The first and most significant risk posed by a wild raccoon\npresence on your property is the risk of harming people and pets. Raccoons are\nknown carriers of several viruses and infectious diseases, including serious\nones like Rabies, leptospirosis, Distemper, and raccoon roundworm, as well as\nless serious ones, like lice, fleas, ticks, and more. Although raccoons do not\ngenerally bite or attack, they will if they are provoked. For instance, young\nchildren who may stumble upon a baby raccoon in the yard that they think is\nabandoned, but in actuality, the mother raccoon is nearby and ready pounce if\nshe feels her pup is in danger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pets <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Pets are often victims of raccoon attacks because they\nunintentionally provoke them simply by being curious and taking a sniff. This\nis why pet vaccinations are so vital for the safety of your dogs and cats. This\nincludes vaccines for Rabies, leptospirosis, Distemper, Lyme disease, and\nraccoon roundworm. It is also vital to give your pet a flea, tick, and\nheartworm medication regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Property <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Raccoons are very clever, and they have excellent memories\nand problem solving skills. This is one reason why they are common offenders of\nattic and crawl space invasions. They can use their human-like paws to grasp,\nrip, and pry. They tear down attic insulation, chew up electrical wiring, soil\nfloorboards and ceilings with their droppings, and more. However, even if\nraccoons cannot access the inner parts of a home or building, they can still\ncause a load of structural damages to a property. They will dig up lawns, pillage\nthrough gardens, pry off siding and roof shingles, rip window screens, rummage\nthrough garbage cans, eat bird seed, steal pet food, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
