By the time wildlife gains access to your attic, eaves, public areas, or drop ceilings, considerable damage is often already present. Signs of infestation typically include chewed roofing, shredded insulation, damaged plywood, and traces of feces, urine, and gnawed wires—each contributing to further vulnerabilities and additional entry points for other animals.
In addition to structural damage, wildlife intrusions can lead to secondary issues such as water leaks, mold growth, and ongoing deterioration. Swift, professional intervention is crucial to mitigating these risks. Moreover, many wild animals carry hazardous diseases such as rabies, Lyme disease, and salmonella, posing potential health threats to families, clients, and employees.
When wildlife invades your property, trust NYC Extermination to handle the situation with expertise and care. Our dedicated approach ensures the safety and security of your home or business, protecting your property and those within it.
Raccoon Trapping: What You Need to Know
Why Trapping is Necessary
Raccoons can cause considerable damage if they gain access to your home or business. They are skilled climbers and often find their way into attics or roofs by tearing through vents, fascia boards, or even shingles. Once inside, they can create nests, chew through insulation, wiring, and even structural components. Their droppings can spread parasites like roundworms, and they may carry diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, and distemper. In addition, their constant noise and activity can disrupt your peace and quiet.
A raccoon infestation can also attract other pests, such as fleas, ticks, and lice, which further complicate the situation. Therefore, trapping is not only essential for protecting your property but also for safeguarding the health and safety of everyone in the vicinity.
The Importance of Professional Trapping
While raccoons can be trapped using various methods, it is important to leave the job to professionals. Legal restrictions and safety concerns make it risky for untrained individuals to attempt trapping on their own. Furthermore, raccoons can be aggressive when cornered, and attempting to capture them without the right equipment and expertise can result in injury.
Professionals have the necessary tools, knowledge, and experience to ensure safe, effective trapping. They use humane traps that allow for the safe capture and relocation of the raccoons, ensuring compliance with state wildlife laws and regulations.
How Raccoon Trapping Works
The first step in professional raccoon trapping is a thorough inspection of the property. Experts will look for signs of an infestation, such as droppings, footprints, and nesting materials. Once identified, the trapping process involves placing live traps in strategic locations to capture the raccoons without causing harm.
These traps are designed to lure raccoons in with bait, usually food, and once the animal enters, the trap securely closes, allowing the technician to humanely deal with it.
After the Trap: Prevention and Repair
Trapping a raccoon is only part of the solution. Once the animal is removed, professionals will work to prevent future infestations. This may involve sealing entry points, such as gaps in roofs, broken vents, or cracks in walls, to ensure that raccoons and other wildlife cannot return. Additionally, sanitation measures, such as cleaning up waste or removing food sources, are essential to reducing the attraction for raccoons and other pests.
By addressing the underlying causes of the infestation, professionals help ensure that your property remains free from raccoons and other wildlife, keeping both your home and family safe.
