Pennsylvania's climate brings distinct seasons. Spring and summer are busy for raccoon families. They have babies and look for food. Fall means they prepare for winter. They seek warmer places, like attics and garages. This is when they often get into homes. Many homes in Pennsylvania are older. This means more entry points for raccoons. Older homes have more nooks and crannies. This makes them attractive to wildlife. Your property in Philadelphia might see this. We handle raccoon problems across the state. Our experts know how to find them. They also know how to remove them safely.
Common questions
What smells keep raccoons away?
Some strong smells can deter raccoons. Ammonia-soaked rags are often suggested. A raccoon's sense of smell is strong. They dislike strong odors that signal danger or unpleasantness. However, these smells are usually temporary fixes. For lasting results, you need professional removal.
