THE RISK OF RACCOONS: RACCOON PEST CONTROL
They are cute and fuzzy and sometimes funny, and it’s hard to resist those cute bandit masks, but raccoons can wreak havoc on a property if raccoon pest control is not employed. Raccoons can flourish in a New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, so it is important to implement the help of a pest control professional, like Viking Pest Control, to keep your home intact and its inhabitants safe.
Raccoon Risks
Raccoons are considered a vector species for rabies, but occurrences are rare. Humans and pets who come in contact with raccoon feces can potentially contract the intestinal parasite known as raccoon roundworm and leptospirosis. Raccoons can also carry canine distemper and feline parvovirus.
These diseases are possible, but the hazards of a raccoon infestation more commonly result in:
- Destruction of property
- Reduction of bird population
- Damage to gardens
- Destruction of crops
