Raccoons Take Over an Attic to Escape the Cold—Here's What Happened

We got a call from a homeowner who kept hearing strange noises in the attic. When I arrived, it didn’t take long to find the problem—a raccoon had torn through a soffit and settled in to escape the winter cold. It had shredded insulation and left urine and feces everywhere.

Aside from the mess and damage, raccoon waste is a serious health risk. Their feces can carry roundworm, and the strong ammonia smell from urine can spread through the house. At first, the homeowners only wanted the raccoons removed. But each time we cleared the attic, another moved in. After multiple trips, they decided to seal the entry points to stop the problem.

After removal, we sealed the entry points and reinforced weak spots to keep wildlife out. If you hear noises in your attic, call Frontline Wildlife Removal before it gets worse!
