Top \u2779 Signs of Raccoon Infestation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

🦝 Raccoon Sightings<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The number one sign of a raccoon infestation is actually\nseeing them in action with your own eyes. If you notice an increase in raccoon tampering\nand activity around your yard, you can safely assume that they will continue to\ngrow in size and scope. Another sign to look out for is paw tracks. If you are\nwaking up in the morning and seeing raccoon paw prints around your home, you\ncan assume they are visiting your property at night while you sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🐛 Evidence of Digging<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Another common sign of nuisance raccoon activity is finding\nevidence of digging. Raccoons will use their long, sharp claws and dexterous\npaws to dig up grass and soil in search of juicy grubs, worms, and more. Fortunately,\nthere are easy and effective methods of eliminating a grub infestation, so you should\nhave no problem getting rid of them before next season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

🌾 Tree and Plant Damages<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Similar to digging, you may also notice plant and tree\ndamage. Peeled or missing bark around the base of tree trunks can be a sign of\nvole girdling, deer interference, woodpecker activity, and more. Gardens are\noften pillaged and wiped out by all sorts of wildlife, from crawling and furry\nones, to ones that fly. If you notice that your plants and trees are damaged,\nit could very well be due to nuisance raccoon winter behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

💩 Droppings<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Like sightings and paw tracks, another obvious sign of\nnuisance raccoon activity is the presence of droppings. Most of the time, raccoon\ndroppings are easy to decipher from one another.
