At Grade a Critter Wildlife & Pest Solutions, we have witnessed firsthand how raccoons can disrupt homes and properties in a variety of ways. If you’ve experienced the frustration of waking up to find your lawn scattered with trash and debris from tipped-over garbage cans, you're not alone. These highly resourceful animals use their dexterous paws to pry open an astonishing range of containers. The mess they leave behind is concerning, but it’s the other risks they bring with them that pose a more serious threat to your home.

The Problems Caused by Raccoons

Raccoons are carriers of numerous diseases, some of which can pose significant risks to human health. Rabies is perhaps the most commonly known disease associated with raccoons, but they also spread parasites such as ticks and fleas, which can infect both humans and pets. While raccoons are generally non-confrontational, they can become highly aggressive when cornered or threatened. This defensive behavior increases the risk to your pets, as raccoons will fiercely protect themselves if provoked.


Another often-overlooked nuisance is the noise raccoons create. As nocturnal animals, raccoons are just starting their day when you're winding down for a peaceful night's sleep. The chittering, scratching, and occasional vocalizations can disrupt your rest, turning an otherwise quiet evening into a frustrating ordeal. Their noise can be especially problematic when they explore your property, as they are not shy about making their presence known.

The Dangers of DIY Raccoon Control

Trapping a raccoon without proper equipment puts you at real risk. Raccoons carry diseases and turn aggressive when cornered, making amateur handling genuinely dangerous. Many areas also require permits for releasing trapped wildlife, and failing to comply can result in fines.


DIY trapping rarely addresses what attracted raccoons to your property in the first place. Without fixing the root cause, the problem keeps coming back. Grade a Critter Wildlife & Pest Solutions uses humane removal methods and identifies the conditions that led to the infestation, giving your property lasting protection.

Interesting Facts About Raccoons

Raccoons have highly sensitive receptors in their front paws, giving them an exceptional sense of touch that makes them skilled foragers. They are strong swimmers and adapt easily to both rural and urban environments, which is exactly what makes them so hard to keep out. Once they find a food source or entry point on your property, they remember it.

Raccoons as a Significant Problem

Raccoons are among the primary wildlife species in the U.S. that carry rabies, making any direct contact a health risk for your family and pets. The damage they cause to property and agriculture costs millions of dollars annually, and structural repairs after a raccoon infestation can add up fast. A problem left unaddressed only gets more expensive over time.
