There are plenty of sources in Pittsburgh\u00a0and all of Western Pennsylvania. Raccoons 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\/are-raccoons-dangerous\/\">trying to remove a raccoon<\/a>\u00a0from your home by yourself, remember they can carry diseases, and if threatened, they may bite.

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=\"Raccoon Exclusion\">\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\">Raccoon Exclusion<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>We provide a wide range of repair and restoration services.

Although they prefer farmland, big fields, and wooded or brushy areas, groundhogs are not opposed to living in suburban neighborhoods where food is plentiful. Stonewall fences are the perfect cover for burrows, but buildings and tree bases also provide groundhogs in Pittsburgh with ample concealment. Crops and gardens are frequently destroyed by their diverse vegetarian diets. Likewise, their burrowing tears-up lawns and causes structural damage to porches and sheds.<\/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=\"Groundhog 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\">Groundhog Inspection<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>Groundhog nesting isn&#8217;t hard to spot.

Evidence of animals inside your home include nests, dens, feces, and animal tracks. We investigate the exterior of your home looking for possible entry points, any evidence of animal damage, tracks, fur, animal waste, or rub marks.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"cta\">\n                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/services\/residential\/\"\n                     aria-label=\"Wildlife \"\n                     target=\"_blank\"\n                     rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n                    Wildlife \n                    <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-right\"\n                         class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-right fa-w-10\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                         viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\">\n                      <path fill=\"currentColor\"\n                            d=\"M285.476 272.971L91.132 467.314c-9.373 9.373-24.569 9.373-33.941 0l-22.667-22.667c-9.357-9.357-9.375-24.522-.04-33.901L188.505 256 34.484 101.255c-9.335-9.379-9.317-24.544.04-33.901l22.667-22.667c9.373-9.373 24.569-9.373 33.941 0L285.475 239.03c9.373 9.372 9.373 24.568.001 33.941z\"><\/path>\n                    <\/svg>\n                  <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n                            <article class=\"col-lg-4 col-md-6 col-xs-12\">\n            <div class=\"steps-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"photo\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/Card_Step22.jpg');\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/Card_Step22.jpg\">\n                <div class=\"step\">STEP <span class=\"num\">2<\/span><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h3 class=\"headline\">Animal Removal Near You<\/h3>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>We use several methods to humanely remove the animal from your home.

We apply sanitation agents to clean up feces and urine. Mammals can host pests like fleas, ticks, and mites.
