Raccoons are at the top of the wildlife list for destroying our homes, property and vegetable gardens.
These animals will consume nearly anything including aquatic animals, fruits, nuts, grains, small mammals and bird seed. Raccoons are known to be notorious for tipping over garbage cans that have been left outside in hopes of finding food. They are the most popular species of wildlife that A All Animal Control of Puget Sound is called upon for control.

Raccoons will often seek to gain entrance into our houses and outbuildings through attics and chimneys. Attics and uncapped chimneys are becoming more attractive dens than the traditional tree hollow. They may plug chimneys and create a back draft or even keep their young in chimneys as well as destroy installation and soil your attic.
Often raccoons will tear off shingles and chew holes in soffit or boards in order to gain access to an attic. The raccoon is able to climb close hanging tree limbs to gain access to an attic as well. They also pilfer through gardens causing crop damage and tear garbage up all over your property. Just to name a couple! A All Animal Control of Puget Sound (360) 807-0402 can stop this damage in its tracks!
Raccoons living in attics or crawlspaces defecate and urinate which contaminates the insulation. These droppings can be infected with raccoon roundworms and present hazard to anyone touching them. They also carry rabies, distemper and mange. These diseases can be transmitted to humans and to your pets.
