Raccoons tracks are one of the clearest signs of a raccoo problem n in the attic.
Raccoon Damage in Boon County
Raccoon damage to yards, roofs, attics, and crawlspaces costs homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs every year (a standard homeowner's insurance policy might cover the cost of repair but not trapping and removing. Contact your insurance company).
Raccoon Damage to Attics in Zionsville, IN
These homeowners in Broad Ripples had a well-established raccoon den in their attic. The raccoons tore up the insulation for nesting materials. This decreases the thermal efficiency of your home and may result in higher heat bills. But perhaps the most worrisome damage raccoons cause is to electrical wires. These frayed wires represent a significant fire risk.
Raccoon Latrine in Whitestown, IN
Raccoons create separate latrine sites to defecate. Typical latrine sites in residential areas are on roofs, in attics, next to woodpiles, under decks, or in crawlspaces.
Their accumulated feces and urine quickly destroy insulation and saturate woodwork. Their feces spread raccoon roundworm, which is a serious health hazard for residents repairing raccoon damage to homes.
Raccoon Trapping in Indianapolis
In both siutations, a cage trap is the most effective and humane way to get rid of a raccoon. We placed the trap near the raccoon activity and keep 12 inches clear around the trap. Raccoons have extremely dexterous front paws with five long, tapered fingers and long nails. Raccoons destroy everything they can get their hands on when trapped. Some of the best raccoons baits we used are fruits like cherries or grapes, marshmallows or jelly work effectively as raccoon bait. Direct capture is not commonly used because raccoons are a rabies vector species.
Raccoon Control
Repellents offer temporary solutions. Raccoons grow accustomed to frightening devices, and there are no toxicants regulated for raccoons. However, habitat modification will become very important for prevention after dealing with a raccoon invasion. Sealing garbage cans and keeping pet food inside are two of the simplest ways to prevent raccoons.
Preventative exclusion services are the most effective raccoon control. Some of the most common places to find raccoon entry holes are along the roof endge. Soffit, roof returns, and vents are vulnerable to raccoon's tenacious strength.
After raccoon removal, it is imperative to seal all entry points to prevent future entry. Ensuring you don’t create a home for raccoons outside your property will also help prevent attracting raccoons.
Testimonials
This company has been great. The technician Kensi was very through and checked everywhere to make sure all access points were found. After a skunk was found in the trap on a Saturday morning they came to pick it up very quickly.
Michael was super friendly and knowledgeable. He checked my entire house and recommended and installed the solution within an hour.
We are under contract with your company and so far they are doing a fine job. Many thanks.

So when I went to have my insulation replaced I figured out that I had a critter problem that was beyond anything I was aware of. Not wanting to waste time I decided to call a professional and these guys were really good from day one. From the gentleman who gave the estimate to both of the guys that came out and did the work there was great communication and they were very effective at what they did. One little thing got missed and all it took was one text message and somebody was out the next day to take care of it. They always text me when they're on their way or going to be at the house and they let me know what they found along with photographs. My first thought when they gave me the quote was wow that was a lot of money and I didn't want to spend that much and now that I've had them do the service I feel like it's worth every penny and it's actually pretty damn reasonable considering the number of times that they come out and all the things that they do take care of.
I had an issue with squirrels getting into a small section of roofing without access from the attic or inside of the home. Critter control was a huge help in solving the issue, especially thanks to Brandon and Nate. Ended up catching 3 squirrels living in the roof plus they seal the entrance point after all is said and done. I would absolutely recommend critter control, Brandon and Nate did a stellar job.
Dominick was very friendly and he consistently put on his shoe covers each time he entered the house. He looked over every inch of the storage room where we thought the animal was and did a walk around the yard to see if there was evidence of entry. He was very thorough. He did not find any animal at that time. He said he would leave a trap and review the outside area of the house over the next week. It was the next day that the smell in our storage room indicated that the animal had died. We followed the small and discovered a dead bird in an open storage bin. I would highly recommend Dominick for 'Critter Control'.
Thank you,
Valerie
Great explanations regarding findings, friendly, quality work! Each encounter with their tech has been professional and educational.
your representative (Dominic) was very friendly and quickly removed the dying raccoon from our outdoor window-well. He also shared information with us regarding raccoons on their behavior, what they liked/disliked, and provided information on how to disinfect the area the raccoon had been trapped in for a couple of days. I'd rate him 9 stars if I could. -pja
