It only takes one season for a raccoon colony to cause a heap of destruction in your home. The combination of their urine, droppings, birthing debris, and decayed food scraps are known to cause unsightly leaks in the walls and ceilings, unbearable odors inside the home, and upper respiratory illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" id=\"raccoon-diseases-and-parasites\">Raccoon Diseases and Parasites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, their mere presence is a threat to your health since they are known carriers of several infectious and transmissible diseases. Common raccoon diseases include Rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, roundworm, mange, lice, ticks, and fleas. These illnesses are threats to both people and pets, making adequate raccoon control a top priority in areas with large raccoon populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" id=\"animal-proofing-against-raccoons\">Animal Proofing Against Raccoons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For these reasons and more, it is important to get rid of raccoons immediately after discovering them on your property. If you have only spotted them outside, then it is best to have your home inspected for holes and vulnerable spots, and seal them up before winter is here. Then implement certain practices to keep raccoons away from your property, such as removing pet food from outside, locking trash can lids, installing motion sensor lighting, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Do you have raccoons in the attic or raccoons disturbing your property? <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetanimalremoval.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Budget Animal Removal<\/a> at 317-875-3099 for professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetanimalremoval.com\/services\/raccoons.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">raccoon control in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>.
