We are Pennsylvania's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Scranton raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Scranton pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:
- Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
- Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
- If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
- Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
- When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation
Scranton Raccoon Control Tip: What Do Raccoons Eat?
You have probably seen raccoons around your neighborhood or maybe even near your business. While nocturnal creatures who hunt and forage at night, they make their presence known in many ways. In fact, it is not uncommon for you to find a raccoon rummaging through your garbage or eating food out of your garden. They are little scoundrels for sure.
What is interesting about the raccoon is that it is a natural omnivore. What this means is that it will eat virtually anything. If it can get to it, it will eat it, including such things as vegetables, meat, candy, and virtually about any trash you may have in your garbage. If you have made dinner and thrown away the leftovers, even if they are in the trashcan for four or five days, don't be surprised if a raccoon would turn that into its next meal.
Like an Iron Stomach
What makes it so that raccoons are able to eat just about anything is that they have quite a resilient stomach. This makes it so that they could eat just about anything, and we mean just about anything.
What Is Their Favorite?
While a raccoon will eat anything, there are preferred choices. Because the vast majority of raccoons live in rural, forest, or on the outskirts of suburban areas, it is quite common to see them eating such things as seeds, acorns, and berries. However, they will eat most edible forms of plant life, including lettuce, fruits, and leaves.Because of their willingness to eat vegetables, your garden presents itself as the ultimate vegan buffet to a raccoon. They will love eating such things as carrots, celery, cabbage, pumpkins, melons, or any other fruit or vegetable within your garden.
Don't think that a raccoon is averse to eating meat, however. Many raccoons will eat grubs, bugs, lizards, even frogs. If hungry enough, they will eat most small amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, including mice and rats. Some raccoons have even hunted for fish in rivers and near lakes. They clearly are animals that will eat just about anything.
When Nothing Is Available
If a shortage of food is present, raccoons will forage far outside their comfort zone to find food. This is why it is not uncommon to find them in dumpsters and garbage cans. These animals will even try to get in people's homes or businesses to find food.
They will rummage through trash and eat just about everything. While it may make you sick to eat what is in your garbage can, the stomach of a raccoon is not bothered by it all. These animals can truly eat just about anything.
If you are having an issue with a raccoon on your property or trying to get into your home, this is a good warning sign to you about what you need to do to keep them away. If you have a trashcan or dumpster outside, it should be securely fastened so that the animal cannot get into it. Otherwise, it will be making a nightly trip to your refuse container.
