Have you noticed raccoons on your property?

So recently we posted Allstate’s Raccoon Mayhem commercial on our Facebook page. Certainly not because we are endorsing their company or products, but because we thought the commercial, which featured Mayhem, was pretty awesome. And although it provides 32 seconds of entertainment, we would be remiss if we didn’t bring attention to the accuracy of the message.

The weather is changing here in Colorado and raccoons (along with other insects, rodents and other wildlife) are seeking shelter. Unfortunately this tends to be inside people’s homes and the havoc raccoons can cause may result in structural damage as well as significant economic loss. Insulation shredded or contaminated by feces and urine, electrical wiring damaged to the point of creating a fire hazard and severe odor are just a few of the consequences of raccoons in the attic.

If you’ve noticed a raccoon under your deck or think you may be experiencing a raccoon problem in your attic or elsewhere in your home, give EnviroPest a call right away. Raccoons are wild animals and will become aggressive if cornered or threatened. Because of their dangerous nature, they are a pest that should only be handled by raccoon control professionals. At EnviroPest, we offer comprehensive raccoon control services including live trapping and full animal eviction. We can even help you with the cleanup and repairs.
