As we humans expand our presence into an area, it is normal for the local wildlife to relocate so that they can remain a safe distance from us. This applies to most species, but, unfortunately, not all of them. One of the pests that has become very good at adapting to our neighborhoods is the raccoon. They have learned that our garages, attics, and sheds can make excellent denning locations. They have also identified our gardens, bird-feeders, pet bowls and garbage cans as renewable food sources.
If all they did was set up housekeeping in our midst it wouldn’t be too bad, but the damage they inflict once they move in is unacceptable. In addition to urine and feces, their nesting can destroy insulation and raise the monthly heating and cooling bills. They also have a proclivity for gnawing, which can make a pile of splinters out of structural beams. They have also been known to gnaw away at electrical insulation which has actually started house fires. Raccoons can carry diseases such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and diphtheria. When you take into account the fact that they also bring ticks, mites, fleas, lice, and a variety of parasitic worms into our homes you begin to understand just how dangerous it is to have them in the vicinity.
