Wisconsin's climate shapes raccoon activity throughout the year. During the cold winters, raccoons seek warm dens. Attics, chimneys, and garages offer protection. Spring and summer bring active families. This increases their foraging for food. Many homes in Wisconsin have older structures. These often have more entry points for wildlife. This makes them susceptible to raccoon problems. This is true for properties in Milwaukee. Raccoons can exploit even small openings. We offer professional raccoon removal services. Our team understands Wisconsin's wildlife challenges. We provide safe and effective solutions for your home.
Common questions
What smells keep raccoons away?
Some strong scents can discourage raccoons. Ammonia or mothballs are sometimes used. Raccoons have a keen sense of smell. They may avoid areas with unpleasant or alarming odors. However, these are usually temporary deterrents. Professional exclusion is more effective.
Is there a fee for calling animal control?
There is no charge for calling us to discuss your raccoon problem. We offer free phone consultations. You can describe your situation. We will explain how we can help. The cost of service is provided after an assessment.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?
The 3-3-3 rule is not a standard term in wildlife control. It may refer to a dog's adjustment period. For raccoons, we focus on their natural biology. This includes understanding their denning habits and seasonal needs. This knowledge is key to effective removal.
Who to call to pick up stray cats?
For stray cats, your local animal shelter or humane society is the best contact. They are equipped to handle cat rescues. If you have a raccoon problem, that is our specialty. We focus on safely removing wild animals from your property.
