Why Are Raccoons Coming Into Your Yard And What Can You Do About Them?
Raccoons can be a major nuisance pest, especially if there are more than one and they are continuously coming back to your yard. When they invade your home, they can especially be a nuisance. These pests can be harmful to humans if you get too close to them. They can bite or scratch you, and they can carry rabies. They can feel threatened if they have babies close by. These pests may be in your yard for a reason; one may be because they have babies nearby, or they could be there because they're finding food there. If you have these pests in your yard, there are things you can do. Read on for some tips to help you.
Remove Their Food Source
You need to remove their food source so they don't continue to return to find food. To do this, you need to figure out what it is that they have been eating. If they are eating in your yard, they may be getting into your garbage cans and eating your trash and leftovers. If this is what is happening, you need to be sure your garbage cans are sealed tightly and your trash is sealed in trash bags. If they are eating from a garden, try putting fencing around it to help keep them out of your garden. Remove any other food sources if you can to keep them away from your yard.
Hire A Pest Control Company
Using a pest control company to capture and remove these pests from your yard or your home is the best way to get rid of these pests, especially if they do have babies somewhere close by. They will keep coming back otherwise and will continue to look for food for their babies as well. Hire a pest control company to help you get rid of these pests for you. Never attempt to capture these pests yourself, as you could get injured. If they are inside your home, try to close off where they are in your home and stay away from them until a pest control specialist can get there to take the raccoon(s) away.
