Sterling Heights Raccoon Control Tip: What Kind of Damage Do Raccoons Cause in an Attic? 
Raccoons are strong, intelligent, and curious creatures. And when you combine those three traits, there's no telling the amount of damage they can cause in your attic. Raccoons love to reside in attics because it provides them with warmth and safety. It is also the perfect place for them to raise their young ones. But the damage they cause makes them the nightmare of any homeowner. 

The extent of damage these masked bandits can wreak in your attic is dependent on a variety of factors. Some of which include:

• How long the raccoons have been in your attic.
• The number of raccoons present.
• The presence of features like insulation, wires, and pipes in your attic. 

In this article, we explore the main damages caused by raccoons. 

Damages Caused by Raccoons
If you have a raccoon infestation in your attic, failure to act would almost invariably result in the following damages:

• Ripped off insulation

When a raccoon gains entrance to your attic, its first mission is to build a nest. And for that, it needs nesting materials. Naturally, the raccoon will bring in external materials like leaves and twigs, but some internal materials like insulation also make for good raw material. A pregnant female will rip off the insulation to build a cozy nest for the kits she's expecting. 

With your insulation damaged, your home will not be able to effectively keep you warm in the winter or cool in the summer. The loss of heating efficiency will translate to higher electric bills as your HVAC system will have to overwork to compensate for the inefficiency. 

• Torn off wires

Wires also make for great nesting material. And as such, raccoons will chew on them. Unfortunately, chewed wires become exposed and are considered serious fire risks. Overloading the wire can result in a spark, which could start a fire. Similarly, exposed wires can result in partial connection, leading to the damage and malfunctions of electronic devices. 

• Damage to ducts

Raccoons are also known to rip apart ducts in the attic. The reason they do that is still hotly debated among experts. Some speculate they do this to obtain additional nesting materials, while others believe that they do it just for sport. Whatever the case may be, the result is the same for you. You have to cough up a few hundreds of dollars to replace them or you no longer have air flowing through your home. 

• Damaged wood

Asides from chewing on wires, ducts, and insulation material, raccoons will also chew on wood. To gain entrance into your attic, a raccoon will identify vulnerable wooden spots in your roof area and break in through there. In the attic, the raccoon may chew on load-bearing woods, thereby tampering with the structural integrity of your building. If this continues for too long, it may result in the collapse of a roof section. 

• Torn papers and other items

Just to be clear, there's no limit to what a raccoon can chew, provided such an object will fall under its powerful jaw. If you have books or newspapers stored in your attic, a raccoon will shred them into pieces. Raccoons have also been known to tear through exterior walls in thinner areas to gain access to the attic. Even when wood and shingles are present, raccoons can rip through the entire roof. 

• Pollution from feces and urine

A raccoon residing in your attic will mess up the entire area with its feces and urine. If the raccoon has been there for long, it might have polluted the insulation with urine and feces to the point where it has to be replaced. And that will cost you a lot of money. 

Raccoon feces and urine also carry lots of diseases. Their feces, in particular, is known to contain roundworm. When inhaled by a human, roundworm will attack the nervous system and can result in death if left untreated. 

What to Do
If you have a raccoon infestation problem, you not only have to deal with removing the nuisance animal. You also need to repair all the damages they caused to avoid further deterioration of your building. 

In many instances, the repair work is usually intense - depending on how quickly you discovered the problem. In that case, getting a professional wildlife company involved is the prudent choice. A wildlife removal company will help you remove the raccoon, perform the necessary repairs, and seal all potential entry holes to prevent re-entry.
