🦝 Nocturnal Noises? A Raccoon-Proofing Checklist for Brantford Homes
Are you hearing thumping in your attic? Raccoons are strong and can cause major damage to your home’s wiring and insulation.
At Brothers Wildlife Removal, we help homeowners in Brantford, Paris, and Brant County identify the vulnerabilities that raccoons exploit.
Use this checklist to inspect your home:
🏠 Is Your Home Raccoon-Proof?
• [ ] Check Roof-Soffit Gaps: Inspect where your roof meets the wall for loose aluminum.
• [ ] Secure Roof Vents: Are they reinforced with heavy-duty steel? Raccoons easily rip through plastic.
• [ ] Cap Your Chimney: An uncapped chimney is an open invitation.
• [ ] Trim Trees: Keep branches 6-8 feet from your roof to cut off their "bridge."
• [ ] Check Under Decks: Don't forget to secure ground-level entry points.
⚠️ Important Warning
Never seal a hole if you suspect a raccoon is inside. You could trap a mother or her babies, leading to structural damage or health issues.
Need a professional inspection? We specialize in humane, permanent exclusion for residential properties. We use one-way doors so animals leave and can't return.
