Best Wildlife Control in Florida
While raccoons and opossums are essential parts of the ecosystem, they can become problematic when they invade human spaces. Their presence in or around your home can lead to health risks, property damage, and safety concerns.
The Dangers of Wildlife Intrusions
Raccoons and opossums are resourceful animals that often invade homes or businesses in search of food, water, and shelter. Key concerns include:
-
Property Damage: Raccoons and opossums can tear through roofing, siding, and insulation to access attics, crawlspaces, or basements. They may also damage gardens, trash bins, or other outdoor structures.
-
Health Risks: These animals can carry diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, and salmonella, as well as parasites like ticks, fleas, and roundworms. Their droppings and urine can also contaminate surfaces and air quality.
-
Aggressive Behavior: While generally shy, raccoons and opossums may become aggressive if cornered, posing risks to people and pets.
Signs of Raccoon or Opossum Activity
If you suspect wildlife has invaded your property, look for these common signs:
-
Scratching or thumping sounds in walls, attics, or crawlspaces
-
Damage to trash bins, garden areas, or outdoor structures
-
Droppings or foul odors near entry points
-
Visible paw prints or tracks around your property
If left unchecked, wildlife intrusions can escalate quickly, causing significant damage and health risks.
Why Raccoons and Opossums Thrive in South Florida and Tampa
South Florida’s warm climate and urban settings offer ideal conditions for raccoons and opossums to thrive. These animals are opportunistic and adapt well to living near humans, often making their homes in attics, sheds, or under decks.
How Wildlife Becomes a Problem
Raccoons and opossums are drawn to properties that provide easy access to food and shelter. Common attractants include:
-
Trash Bins: Accessible garbage cans are a major food source for raccoons and opossums.
-
Pet Food: Outdoor pet bowls can attract these animals, especially at night.
-
Shelter: Open attics, crawlspaces, or sheds provide safe nesting spots for wildlife.
-
Garden Areas: Fruits, vegetables, and compost piles are common targets.
While these animals may seem harmless, their presence near your home can lead to escalating problems if not addressed promptly.
Long-Term Wildlife Prevention Tips
Preventing wildlife intrusions requires proactive measures to make your property less appealing to raccoons and opossums:
-
Secure Trash Cans: Use wildlife-proof lids and store bins in a secure area.
-
Seal Entry Points: Repair holes, gaps, or damaged vents to prevent access to attics or crawlspaces.
-
Remove Attractants: Avoid leaving pet food or water outside overnight and clean up fallen fruits or vegetables from gardens.
-
Trim Vegetation: Keep tree branches and shrubs trimmed to reduce access to roofs or windows.
By combining these preventative steps with professional wildlife control services, you can keep your property safe year-round.
