Sunnyvale wildlife control tip of the month:

What should I do if I find a nest of raccoons in the attic?

So, you are trying to go to sleep one night. It is all quiet in your home and you just laid down exhausted from a long day. The lights are all out, setting the perfect situation for you to get a good night’s sleep. Then you hear it.

A bunch of what sounds like feet tapping on the ground above you begins. You think maybe you are asleep already and are hearing things, but then you realize that you are not. You have something living in your attic, and it is not mice or rats. This is too heavy sounding to be that. It has to be something bigger. A RACCOON!!

You go into your attic and find that there is not only one raccoon living there, but there could be several. The nightmare is becoming a horror story, and you don’t know what to do. If you find that you are in this situation, then here are the steps that you need to follow.

First, Sunnyvale animal trapping would go outside your home when it is light and see if they can find the entryways that the raccoons are using to get in. While there may be just one, there could be others. Sunnyvale animal control will look for holes, loose boards, cracked pieces of wood or other spots that could be large enough for a raccoon to fit through. If you have found more than one close them up but one of them. You will need to leave a place for them to get out. Make sure that the one you leave open is one that is the most logical escape route.

Once Sunnyvale pest control has sealed the other openings, the next thing to do is to prepare to scare them away from your home. What Sunnyvale exterminators would do is to setup a couple of very large lights just inside the attic. Do not turn them on yet. Just have them ready. It is also a good idea to put a large speaker. This we will explain later.

When it starts to get to dusk outside now it is time for Sunnyvale wildlife removal to spring into action. Make sure that you have the entry into your house closed so they do not come into your home. Turn on the lights as bright as possible and blast music through the speaker. This will scare the raccoons who will make a run for it. When they do go and seal that opening and your problem is solved.
