Raccoons enter dwellings for a variety of reasons that differ from season to season.  No matter what the reason, it is imperative to start the process of eviction as soon as possible to limit the damage to your property (structural, electrical, and insulation) as well as the possible health concerns that living in tight quarters could bring (parasites/pathogens and possible human/k9 interactions).  Below is a list of common reason that Raccoons enter homes.

  • To Give Birth and Den
  • To Look for Food
  • To Look for Warmth
  • To Look for Other Raccoons
  • To Die

No matter what the reason, raccoons do not belong in your home.  Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control will determine the quickest and most appropriate way to humanly remove the raccoon(s) and get your home back to the shape it was in.

Raccoons are omnivores and eat a variety of food (including trash; hence the nickname trash-panda’s).  The main food source however of raccoons in the wild are rodents and berries.  Because Racoons have hearing and smelling similar to that of a dog, it is very easy for them to find this food, be it by scent or by listening.

GETTING RACCOONS OUT FOR GOOD!!!

A FAMILY OF RACCOONS IS LIVING IN MY ATTIC/CHIMNEY:

Female raccoons often den in attics and chimneys in February-July/August to keep their young safe from males. Attics and Chimney’s provide great shelter and attics can also provide a food source should there be rodents present in the attic.  Sometimes there will also be a one or two-year-old daughter with a pregnant/new mother. Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control Specialists will help guide you through the process of making sure mom takes her babies to her new home as quickly as possible.  Having young raccoons in the house is bad, but having young raccoons who have died in the house is no better.  Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control Specialists will work to quickly and humanely:

  • GET IT OUT:       evict the family of raccoons,
  • KEEP IT OUT:     Secure the house so future raccoons who smell this one can’t get in
  • MAKE IT GOOD AGAIN: clean, Sanitize & disinfect the affected area(s)

SANITIZING ATTIC AFTER HAVING RACCOONS

Depending on how long your raccoon or family of raccoons have been in your home can determine how much damage there could be.  Although female raccoons often do not poop in the attic, they often will defecate on the roof.  The pups however are not mobile when first born and will be peeing and pooping in the attic space.  The damage raccoons can cause in the attic ranges from soiling of insulation to potential electrical issues.  There are options!! 

Although sometimes it is recommended to have the insulation removed and the attic sanitized/disinfected, then sprayed for ticks’ fleas and mites, it is not always our recommendation.  Often, if we can get the critters out quickly, a simple sanitizing/fogging treatment will help clean your attic & insulation to the point where there is little to no concern about pathogens left by raccoon or their feces.  This obviously includes removing of all visible and accessible fecal matter. 

PEST MANAGEMENT AND RACCOONS

Reducing rodent activity in and around the structure will often help prevent raccoons from taking the step off of the fence line to look for food.  This in turn, will make your structure/property less desirable as a dwelling because you will have reduced food source and with our exclusion, also reduced shelter-ability; two out of the three necessities of life for a raccoon. 

Poop Fact: The feces of a raccoon can carry a round worm parasite actually called a raccoon roundworm.   Babies and toddlers are most at risk for contracting the round work as they often are crawling around and putting their hands in their mouth…thereby delivering this parasite to their intestinal tract.

Joe was wonderful to work with. He is very courteous and respectful. He was very informative on what needed to be done and was able to get rid of the racoon that was living in the fireplace chimney without harming the animal.

I am so happy to have found Blue Tick Pest and Wildlife Control! Joe arrived as scheduled to inspect my property for raccoons. He was professional and informative. It's important to me that critter extraction is done humanely and Blue Tick can do this for you too. Now that I know about their other services I'll be taking advantage of those as well.

At the end of March, a pregnant raccoon entered our attic through a hole that she dug through our soffit. Joe, the owner of Blue Tick pest & wildlife control came out and explained that mama raccoons need to make a den in a safe place when they give birth, because any male raccoons nearby will kill her babies. We've learned more about raccoons than we ever wanted to. They are determined, intelligent creatures that will do more damage to your home than you thought was possible. You need professionals to remove and clean up after the raccoons are gone. They carry rabies, ticks, ringworm and many other viruses that can cause you and your pets harm. They can literally destroy your insulation and leave their urine and feces behind. We are so grateful to have found Blue Tick to take care of this very unique event. Joe and Greg are professional, polite, prompt and caring about you and your property. They do exactly what they say they say they will do. They went above and beyond all of our expectations. They even professionally dealt with the aftermath of a male raccoon gaining access to our attic and killing the babies. It has been a strange experience to go through but we definitely recommend Blue Tick for pest and wildlife control. You won't regret hiring them if you need them!

Joe did a fantastic job of explaining options regarding a family of raccoons that had moved into the neighborhood and possibly under our porch. He provided options to consider as far as mitigation as well as his honest opinion that they may be moving on. He was timely, responsive, friendly, and very reasonable.

I very happy I found Blue Tick Pest and Wildlife Control who was available to work in Avon Colorado! Joe was easy to schedule and inspect my property for any intrusion of critters. He and his team are very professional and informative on all options and cost regarding his initial findings. Quote came in during March snow cover on the roof so the actual work was completed in June. Joe was very easy to work with, scheduling and working around our schedule. He provided updates during our project. Happy to say we didn't have any racoons which would have hit the estimates provided prior to the work he completed. He did find several birds nest as well as mice dropping's. Lastly he came in below initial estimates. Thank you BTPW.

We thought we had a raccoon in our attic based on noises we were hearing and our research. Called Blue Tick and Joe was very prompt and professional. He conducted a thorough examination of the exterior of our home, then climbed into our attic to do an inspection. Spent quite a bit of time up there to make sure he looked into every corner. Turns out we had mice, not a raccoon (yay!). Joe is extremely knowledgeable and explained all of our best options. Nice to find someone like this who will take his time and takes pride in his work.
