The Dangers Raccoons Present
One of the classic storms that hit North Central Texas has left you without power. What if we told you that the cause of the power outage is not a slam dunk certainty? After all, raccoons possess razor-sharp claws and teeth that can slice through virtually anything, including the insulation covering electrical wires running through the attic. That’s right, raccoons can put you in the dark, which the wild animals do not mind since they are nocturnal creatures.
Raccoons also pose health risks that include rabies produced by deep bite wounds. Mother raccoons can become vicious to protect loved ones. A claw swipe over the forearm can require dozens of stitches to heal. Raccoons that gain access to food stored in the kitchen and/or basement leave behind fecal matter that creates potentially deadly food-borne illnesses such as Salmonella. The most effective method for protecting your food is by locking the cabinets and storing dry food in sealed plastic containers.
How to Keep Raccoons Out of Dallas, TX Homes
Unlike squirrels gaining access to Dallas, Texas homes, raccoons require large holes and cracks to wriggle inside of attics and basements. This means you should be able to notice possible entry points for a family of raccoons. Seal every hole and crack along the roof and around the foundation of your home. Store firewood more than 20 feet away from the nearest window. Like many wild animals, raccoons use wood stacks as staging areas for the imminent invasions of Dallas, TX homes. We recommend our clients place garbage bins in the garage or basement. The night before trash pickup, secure garbage bins by weighing down the lids with bricks or other heavy objects. Once a family of raccoons feeds from the garbage you set outside, it is only a matter of a short time before the wild animals try to enter your home.
