The wooded and hilly suburb of Churchill rests just 10 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA. With all of the trees and natural spaces surrounding the community, wild animals—especially raccoons—might wander onto Churchill properties in search of shelter and nourishment. If you have seen signs of a raccoon infestation around your Churchill home or business, then rely on the professionals at Critter Control® of Pittsburgh for fast and humane raccoon removal.
5 Signs of a Raccoon Problem
Raccoons might be attracted to your Churchill property because it offers them trash cans full of food and shelter to build nests and raise their young. You might have a raccoon infestation if you’ve noticed any of the following activity around your Churchill home or business:
- Knocked over trash cans – Due to their omnivorous diet, raccoons can find almost anything to eat in the garbage. They might knock over your trash cans or scatter garbage across your property in their hunt for food.
- Destroyed screens or fabric – Raccoons might claw at screens or other fabrics in an effort to get to where they think food is kept.
- Damaged crops and gardens – If you notice missing vegetables from your garden or tiny bites in your fruit, then raccoons are probably feasting on your plants and crops late at night.
- Disturbed pet bowls – If you leave pet food outside at night, raccoons may be attracted to it and knock over the food bowl as they eat it.
- Distinctive Paw Prints – Raccoons have very distinctive tracks. You will be able to notice their five-toed paw prints in the soil of your garden, on your car hood, or along your driveway.
