Raccoon activity is lighter in the autumn. Raccoons are active at night. While you sleep, they are out scavenging for food.\u00a0Raccoons eat just about anything, from restaurant scraps and pet food to garden crops and chickens. Their hands resemble human hands and allow them to turn doorknobs, open storage bins, and climb trees, chimneys, and poles.<\/p>\n<p>Raccoons have a permanent mask and banded tail. They would be cute if they weren\u2019t so destructive. They will do what they can to get into parts of your house they see fit to sleep and give birth to pups. If they must rip, tear, or break something to get to that spot, they will. Raccoons make lots of noises, like whimpers, growls, and screams. They leave feces and urine nearby their shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Before\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wildlife\/raccoons\">trying to remove a raccoon\u00a0<\/a>from your home by yourself, remember they can carry diseases, and if threatened, they may bite. Calling nuisance wildlife animal control experts is recommended. Critter Control&#8217;s three-step process works well for raccoon removal.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"icon-cards\" aria-label=\"icon cards\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n                        <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Inspection\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeInspection.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a magnifying glass icon\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Inspection<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>During the inspection, we determine the severity of the raccoon infestation.

Depending on the situation, a one-way door or excluder valve can be installed. An excluder valve works by allowing the raccoon to leave but blocks its reentry. The choice of device is largely dependent on the season and location of the raccoons on your property. Direct capture is not commonly used because raccoons are a rabies vector species. If we must trap, we place traps strategically to safely catch the raccoons and we check traps frequently, based on state laws.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Repairs\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeRepairs.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a wrench decoration logo\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Repairs<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>We provide a wide range of repair and restoration services.

The pests enter neighborhoods to find food and water. Foxes will also den under porches or sheds during their mating season.<\/p>\n<p>A fox will eat just about anything. Leftover pet food and unsecured garbage often bring them to Traverse City lawns. They may bite or become aggressive when defending their young but do not pose a threat to humans if left alone. Foxes cause damage by getting into trash cans and digging under fences.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"cta-banner-wrapper  \">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div
