Raccoon Removal & Prevention
Learn how to identify signs of raccoon activity and why Chase Wildlife is the trusted choice for safe, humane raccoon removal across western Colorado.
What You Should Know About Raccoons
Raccoons are highly intelligent, adaptable mammals that are often drawn to human homes in search of shelter and food. Commonly found in attics, crawlspaces, and chimneys, they are nocturnal and can cause significant damage while nesting.
- Strong climbers with dexterous paws—they can open latches and containers.
- Often create dens in warm, dry, elevated spaces like attics or soffits.
- Leave behind droppings, insulation damage, and shredded materials.
Health Concerns
Raccoons can transmit several diseases and parasites that pose risks to humans and pets:
- Raccoon Roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis): Found in feces; potentially fatal if ingested.
- Leptospirosis: Bacterial disease spread through urine—can cause kidney damage or meningitis.
- Rabies: Rare but serious; always a concern with wild mammals.
- Fleas, ticks, and mites: Carried by raccoons into homes and attics.
Signs of Raccoons in Your Home
- Thumping or scurrying sounds in attic or crawlspace at night
- Insulation torn or matted down
- Feces in attic corners or near access points
- Shredded ductwork or chewed wires
- Entry holes in soffits, fascia, or roof edges
