Many of Iowa's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies.

Osceola Wildlife Removal Tip:

How to get raccoons out of the chimney

Raccoons look like monkeys who have blackish and grey shade fur on their body and are notorious for creating destruction in the house. They can be a nuisance around your house and yard, stealing tasty treats from trashcans and creating a mess.

They are known to destroy the furniture to find themselves a comfortable home. You may want to remove them from your surroundings to keep your house safe from unwanted damage that raccoon is generally known for.

The most important thing to know about the presence of a raccoon in the chimney lies with the fact that female raccoon may bring with her litters which can become a nightmare for you to get rid of. The fact about the choice of chimney lies in the calm and comfortable place chimneys provide raccoons with.

If you make sure that raccoon gets to understand that chimney is not the safe place for her, then she'll move out of that place. Here we'll share some tips on how to get rid of raccoons in the chimneys.

How to spot raccoon in the chimney

The first and important thing to know about raccoons is that you need to spot whether it is a raccoon or not. One can be misguided about the presence of squirrels or raccoons. The remedy you take for the removal of raccoon may not work for the squirrels. The changes in the voice of squirrel and raccoons are different. This can be enough indication to find whether it is raccoon or squirrel. If you are sure about the presence of raccoon, then proceed with the following steps.

How to remove it from the chimney

There are certain dos and donts of raccoon removal from chimney because it is sensitive place, and there is possibility that females have given birth to litters It is very possible that, since you have to open the damper first to let the smoke rise that the raccoons will desperately flee out of the damper and into your home, injured and aggressive. Do not start a fire. Raccoons are scared away by the loud noises which are not pleasant at all. In the first place, try putting a loud radio near the chimney.

Professional Techniques

Wildlife removal experts use a special trapping system that mounts directly to the top of the chimney smoke. Some use a special pole-and-trap system that forces the adult raccoon up and out and into the trap. The young raccoons, above the fireplace damper, are removed via mirror and hand removal or snare removal.

The female may attack if she finds the young ones are in trouble. Or, you can trap the mom in a cage trap on the roof or the ground near the climbing point, and then remove the young.
