Raccoons are usually gray with black-and-white markings. The most common way that raccoons are identified are by their bushy, striped tails and mask-like band of black fur under their eyes. Because human activity provides easy access to food and shelter, the raccoon population in Tallahassee is growing.
Signs of Raccoon Infestation in Tallahassee
If you do have a raccoon infestation on your hands, you should be able to identify the telltale signs before the problem becomes too insurmountable. While the occasional raccoon sighting on your property isn’t much to worry about, there are other instances that indicate something more serious:
- Sounds coming from inside your walls or attic, such as scratching
- Damage to your insulation
- Urine is soaking through the ceiling and walls.
- Finding their droppings in your home
Raccoon Problems
Raccoons don’t just cause a mess or disrupt your sleep. They can damage property and spread diseases.
Fire Hazard
Chewed electrical wires can create serious risks.
Structural Damage
Raccoons tear insulation, rip vents, and weaken roofs.
Health Risks
They carry diseases like rabies and raccoon round worm.
Fleas & Ticks
Their presence can introduce other pests into your home.
Professional Raccoon Control
Raccoons on your property are no laughing matter. They can do substantial damage to your insulation, which is costly to repair. Raccoon droppings can also spread airborne roundworm eggs that can infect household inhabitants. Avoid these troubles by having Critter Control® in Tallahassee remove them safely and humanely.
Raccoon Trapping and Removal
A cage trap is the most effective and humane raccoon trap. Keep 12 inches clear around the trap. Raccoons have extremely dexterous front paws with five long, tapered fingers and long nails. Raccoons destroy everything they can get their hands on when trapped.
Why DIY Raccoon Control Usually Fails
Most homeowners miss the final step for long-term protection from raccoons. Without proper exclusion and remediation, your home is still vulnerable to future infestations.
A raccoon found something favorable about your property. It could be proximity to food and water. It could be access to your roof. If you don’t fully secure your home by blocking every current and potential entry gap, another raccoon can find its way inside your home.
Droppings, urine, and nesting materials can attract other critters. If you don’t remove all of it and apply proper sanitization agents, the odors act as a homing beacon to other raccoons and rodents.

Raccoon Control & Exclusion
Preventive exclusion services are the most effective method for raccoon control. After raccoon removal, it is imperative to seal all entry points to prevent future entry. Ensuring you don’t create a home for raccoons outside your property will also help prevent attracting raccoons. However, habitat modification will become very important for prevention after dealing with a raccoon invasion. Repellents offer temporary solutions. Raccoons grow accustomed to frightening devices, and there are no toxicants regulated for raccoons.
