The Greater Pittsburgh area is home to many species of native urban wildlife, including raccoons. Known for their scavenging methods, raccoons are always in search of their next meal. While they may seem cute and harmless, raccoons can become a problem if they decide to nest in your Bethel Park home or business. Fortunately, the licensed and trained wildlife experts at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh are equipped to provide fast and efficient raccoon removal services for Bethel Park residents.
5 Signs of Invasive Raccoons
One of the most infamous types of critters, raccoons are large in size and have voracious eating habits. If you suspect the unwelcome guests have invaded your Bethel Park property, look out for the following telltale signs of a raccoon infestation:
- Disturbed Trash: Raccoons will go through your trash cans, tip over bins and litter spread across your lawn in search of food.
- Property Damage: Raccoons have sharp and powerful claws, which they can use to tear through window screens and vents to make their way inside your property.
- Eaten Pet Food: If you have household animals and leave food or water out overnight, you’re also inviting raccoons to your door.
- Damaged Crops: If you keep an outdoor garden, you might be feeding more than yourself. Look for fallen, damaged or half-eaten crops in your garden and backyard.
- Raccoon Tracks: Raccoons leave behind a distinct five-toed paw print on dirt, mud and vehicles.
The longer you let raccoons roam around your Bethel Park property, the more time they have to cause serious problems. Therefore, as soon as you notice any of these signs, call Critter Control® of Pittsburgh.
Your Bethel Park Raccoon Removal Experts
DIY raccoon removal may seem like an efficient option, but that’s often not the case. While raccoons are normally docile, they can bite or scratch if cornered. Additionally, raccoons can carry parasites, fleas and ticks and transmit diseases to you and your loved ones through direct contact. Instead of putting yourself at risk, leave it to the experts at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh.
