Raccoons San Antonio

Raccoons are highly adaptable and capable animals. They are primarily active at night, and will forage within a home range in search of food. Raccoons are well adapted and common in urban areas such as San Antonio Texas. They often seek out human sources of food, such as garbage cans, dumpsters, pet food, and even handouts. Most of these urban raccoons have no fear of people, and will stand their ground when approached.

In addition to living in attics, raccoons outside also get into all sorts of mischief. One of the more common complaints I get is regarding raccoons pooping in a pool. They like water, and they'll often choose to use a shallow pool step where they can leave their droppings.  They will take any food source that they can find, from your pet's food to your garbage.

There's no magic repellent or device that will solve a raccoon problem. In most cases it is very common to find raccoons in attics.  It's not easy to remove a raccoon from the attic. If you think you can just trap the animal, that's wrong. There's almost always a bunch of young up there, and if you remove the mom without the young, the young will suffer and die and then decompose and cause a big odor problem.
