How to Know if You Have a Raccoon Problem
Raccoons are common throughout North America. They are easy to recognize with their black facemask and black, brown, and white-ringed bushy tail. They have long, thick fur with a thin muzzle and pointed ears. Their feet are well adapted to climbing. They are large animals, weighing between 10 and 25 pounds. Raccoons, too, can transmit rabies. Raccoons den inside hollow trees or logs, rock crevices, deserted buildings, culverts, storm sewers, chimneys, attics and crawl spaces. They also build raccoon nests. More than one den may be used. Raccoons can often become trapped in chimneys and other confined spaces, requiring trained professionals to remove the animal and the raccoon nests. If you think you may have a raccoon in your chimney or notice raccoon nests, contact Wildlife Management Services today at 763.233.6895 to get rid of the raccoon and raccoon nests quickly and in a humane manner.
How to Identify Raccoons
Raccoons are mostly active at night, although they may be seen at dawn or dusk and sometimes even in the middle of the day. In northern climates the winter months are spent in the den or raccoon nests, but they do not hibernate. They may become active during warm spells and often emerge in January or February to breed and can cause damage as they look for shelter. It's important to get rid of raccoons quickly to prevent damage.
