Signs You Have A Raccoon Problem

Many homeowners first suspect raccoons because of noises at night. These animals are active after dark, so you may hear thumping or scratching above ceilings, in attic spaces, or within wall cavities. In a quiet Stanton house, those sounds can be loud enough to wake you or worry tenants.

Physical evidence often appears around the exterior. Raccoons commonly pull at soffits, fascia, and loose shingles to create openings. You might notice sections of eave pulled down, screens bent away from vents, or dark staining where animals are regularly climbing. Inside, raccoon droppings or disturbed insulation are strong clues that something larger than a mouse is living in the attic.

Raccoons bring specific risks that go beyond noise. Their droppings can carry parasites, and their activity can flatten insulation and tear up vapor barriers. Over time, this can affect energy efficiency and comfort in your home. Chewed or displaced materials around wiring add another layer of concern, because they may increase fire risk if left unaddressed.

Our Raccoon Removal Process

When you reach out about possible raccoons in your Stanton home, our team works to make the process as straightforward as possible. We start by listening carefully to what you have been hearing or seeing, such as the time of day noises occur, where you notice damage, and how long the problem has been going on. This initial conversation helps us plan an on site assessment that focuses on the most likely areas.

During the visit, our technicians carefully inspect the structure. On a typical Michigan house, that may include the attic, roofline, soffits, vents, and any low access points like attached garages or decks. We look for evidence of raccoon traffic, including droppings, damaged insulation, and entry holes. We also assess the extent of any contamination and the condition of building materials around those areas.

Raccoon control must follow Michigan wildlife regulations, and our licensing reflects that we operate within those rules. We use humane methods and do not rely on dangerous poisons or harsh chemicals. This approach reduces risk inside your home and helps prevent secondary problems, such as pets contacting toxic materials. Our goal is to remove animals from the structure in a way that respects both safety and legal requirements.

Once activity points are identified, we discuss options with you. While every situation is different, the plan may include targeted removal strategies and temporary sealing to direct raccoons through controlled exit points. We explain what we recommend and why, so you understand how each step fits together. Throughout the process, we keep communication clear and direct, and we encourage your questions so there are no surprises.

Preventing Future Raccoon Entry

Removing raccoons is only part of the solution. If access points remain, new animals often find their way into the same spaces, especially in areas like Stanton where trees and structures sit close together. Prevention focuses on making your home a much harder target for wildlife looking for shelter.

After we identify how raccoons entered, we can recommend practical exclusion steps. On Michigan homes, that often involves working along the roofline and at transitions where different materials meet, such as where shingles meet fascia or around dormers and vents. Properly securing these areas helps protect your attic from raccoons and from other nuisance animals that might use the same gaps.

Varmint Evictors, Inc. is a certified installer of Ridge Guard, a product designed to reinforce vulnerable ridge vents along the top of your roof. Those vents can provide ventilation and, if not protected, convenient openings for raccoons seeking a warm attic in colder months. By installing Ridge Guard in appropriate locations, we work to keep the function of your roof ventilation while greatly reducing access for wildlife.

Prevention is also about long term savings. Addressing entry points and weak areas now can lower the chance of repeated infestations and additional structural damage.
