The biology of the raccoon

Raccoons have entered your attic or are going through your trash cans every evening? Don’t wait too long before contacting a raccoon exterminator on the South Shore of Montreal. Although raccoons may look cute, they are wild animals that can carry diseases such as rabies and mange. Some municipalities are even under close surveillance when it comes to raccoon rabies).

These rodents are also carriers of fleas, lice and ticks. If you see one or more raccoons roaming around your home, do not approach them or let your children approach them: if these rodents feel in danger, they could bite, scratch and cause infections.

Habitat

Raccoons are nocturnal mammals. They most often live in the forest but can also adapt to city life, where they find plenty to eat in residential or restaurant bins. They seek to make a nest in the heat, usually in attics, fireplaces or garages and barns. They know how to climb in height (by clinging to walls and gutters), dig holes to enter the attic by tearing materials (insulation and others), and damage walls with their claws. They also leave a strong smell of urine and bowel movements.
