🦝 How to Get Rid of Raccoons in Your Attic

Hearing scratching or thumping sounds in your ceiling at night? If you live on the Treasure Coast—especially in Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, or Hobe Sound—there’s a good chance raccoons have moved into your attic. While these masked bandits may look cute, they can cause serious damage and health risks when they invade your home.

⚠️ Why Raccoons Love Attics

Raccoons are opportunistic animals that thrive in Florida neighborhoods. They’re drawn to attics because they provide:

• 🏠 Warmth & Shelter – Perfect nesting areas, especially for mothers with babies.

• 🍽️ Easy Food Sources – Trash cans, pet food, and fruit trees nearby.

• 🛡️ Safety from Predators – Attics give raccoons a secure place to rest during the day.

🚫 The Dangers of Raccoons in Your Attic

Having raccoons in your attic is more than an inconvenience—it’s a threat to your home and health:

• Damage to Insulation & Wiring 🔥 – Chewing creates fire hazards and costly repairs.

• Contaminated Attic 🦠 – Feces and urine spread diseases like leptospirosis and raccoon roundworm.

• Strong Odors 👃 – Waste buildup causes powerful, lingering smells.

• Aggression ⚔️ – A cornered raccoon, especially a mother, can become aggressive.

🛑 Why DIY Doesn’t Work

Many homeowners try traps, repellents, or noise devices, but raccoons are smart and persistent. Worse, handling raccoons yourself is risky—they can scratch, bite, and transmit diseases. In Florida, improper removal can even be illegal, since wildlife is protected under state regulations.
