How to get rid of raccoons

Rentokil offers raccoon removal services that are both effective and humane. Raccoons in the U.S. can be major nuisances to businesses for a variety of reasons. Most importantly, raccoons are carriers of parasites such as fleas and ticks as well as several highly infectious and dangerous diseases. Raccoons are the number one carrier of rabies in the U.S. Also, raccoons carry a highly infectious roundworm that is potentially fatal to humans.

A raccoon’s dexterity can make it particularly pesky, as its long nimble fingers allow them to do things such as open garbage cans, turn knobs and work latches. Besides the spread of disease, raccoons are known to cause a host of other problems for commercial businesses, including:

• Raiding garbage cans and spreading debris across properties
• Tearing up landscaping with their “grubbing” behavior as they dig for scarab beetles on which to feed
• Contaminating insulation as well as damaging ductwork, vents, and other parts of your building’s structure
