Raccoons are very destructive critters that will break into your attic to build their nests, often tearing through roof shingles, soffits, and more in the process. Once inside, raccoons will start ripping up your insulation to make their nests, often soiling the insulation in the process by digging latrines for their urine and feces. Additionally, raccoons can spread diseases, and scratch or bite when they feel threatened or cornered. Raccoons often hide their babies inside your attic insulation, and if you remove a mother raccoon without all of her babies, she will rip off your roof shingles to get back in and retrieve them.
If you have raccoons inside your attic or causing trouble in your garage, never attempt to remove them yourself. Always leave raccoon removal to the wildlife removal experts at Mama Bear Pest & Outdoor. Our team offers FREE estimates, so contact us to get started today at (281) 656-1525!
Are Raccoons Dangerous?
Raccoons are one of the main vectors of the rabies virus, so any raccoon scratch or bite must be treated as a potential rabies exposure. Raccoons can also spread other diseases and parasites like leptospirosis, salmonella, raccoon roundworms, fleas, ticks, and mites. Raccoons also can spread canine distemper to your dog. Raccoons are armed with sharp claws and teeth, and they will not hesitate to use them if they feel threatened or cornered, especially if they have their babies with them. Never try to remove raccoons yourself, as professional wildlife removal services have the training and tools necessary to remove raccoons safely.
Will Animal Control Get Rid of Raccoons?
Animal control mostly deals with domestic animals, like cats and dogs. Animal control might remove a raccoon on public property like parks or roads, and they might remove a raccoon that is rabid and directly poses a threat to the public. For raccoons that have settled down on your property, like inside your attic, then you need to call a professional wildlife removal service like Mama Bear Pest & Outdoor.
Raccoon in Attic Removal
Raccoons love to nest inside attics, as they are dark, warm, and sheltered from both potential predators and harsh weather. Raccoons will scratch and gnaw at any gaps in your soffit, fascia board, rake board, gable vents, or even shingles in order to gain entry to your attic. Once inside, they will quickly begin ripping up your attic insulation to make their nests, often digging latrines and soiling the insulation in the process. Raccoons will also tear through HVAC ducts and rip up anything else you might be storing inside the attic.
Mother raccoons are very adept at hiding their babies deep inside your attic insulation, and if she is removed without her all babies, the mother raccoon will stop at nothing to get back in and retrieve them, including ripping the shingles off your roof.

Signs of Raccoon Infestation in Katy, TX
When raccoons have invaded your attic, you can hear them stomping and shuffling around. The sound of raccoons walking through your attic can be so loud that you might mistake them for human footsteps! Raccoons will also scratch at your walls, and you can hear them make a variety of vocal sounds, including growling, hissing, screaming, and even purring.
Raccoon tracks/footprints and raccoon droppings found around your attic, garage or yard are also other key signs of a raccoon on your property. Raccoon paw prints look like a child’s handprint with large claws at the end of each finger. Their hind paw tracks are similar, but with elongated heels that dig into the ground. Raccoon droppings are dark, tubular, and 2-3 inches long. Raccoons tend to defecate in designated places called latrines, so you will often see a lot of raccoon droppings together.
