Pest & Wildlife Pressure in Baltimore, MD

Pests in the City

The urban setting of Baltimore, MD, provides many benefits for people. Of course, some animals that thrive around humans also enjoy city living. Man-made structures and waste provide nesting sites and food sources for nuisance wildlife like raccoons and Norway rats.

Raccoons

While these pests don't hibernate, they do enter a state of inactivity to rest through Maryland's winter months. During cold periods, they avoid danger by sleeping in their dens. This can be a problem for homeowners if a raccoon chooses to overwinter in the garage or attic.

Raccoons in Baltimore sometimes carry diseases such as rabies. The pests can also transmit canine distemper to pets. Beyond their capacity to spread illness, raccoons cause damage to homes by rummaging through trash for food and ripping away siding to gain entry into homes.

Norway Rats

A key problem with rats is their nocturnal feeding schedule. Baltimore homeowners may not be aware of rats living right under their noses. In fact, seeing these rodents during the day is a sign of a severe rat infestation. While indoors, the pests can contaminate food and spread diseases, including the plague.
