We are Iowa's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Des Moines 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 Des Moines 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

Des Moines Raccoon Control Tip: What Are The Symptoms A Raccoon May Be Ill?
Raccoons are a common animal that people will see from time to time around the United States, and they are becoming an increasing issue in our towns and cities. This proximity to people has led to the number of diseases that raccoons carry being investigated, and they can carry a range of conditions that are zoonotic, meaning they can be transferred to other animal species, or in some cases to people. While rabies is the disease that many people will know about when it comes to the signs and symptoms, there are other signs that you can see that may suggest a raccoon is ill.

Loss Of Appetite
This is a common symptom for many illnesses that raccoons carry, and especially for nursing females it can be a particularly problematic issue, as it can quickly lead to problems for the animal. Most raccoons are opportunistic feeders, so if you see a raccoon that isn't taking advantage of a nearby food source, and may be looking lethargic, then this can be a sign of illness in the animal.

Diarrhea
Most raccoons will usually have quite firm stools, and this is in similar size to dog feces, and you will often have signs of partly digested food in their feces. If a raccoon is producing loose feces or one that has a significant amount of fluid in the feces, then this can be a sign that they may have some kind of illness that is causing this diarrhea.

Signs Of Discharge From Eyes, Nose Or Ears
One of the common side effects that is produced by many illnesses and conditions that are common in raccoons is an increase in the production of bodily fluids such as mucus and saliva. Many animals will naturally have a small amount of this being produced anyway, and they may have small patches of discharge even when they are healthy. However, if you are seeing large patches of matted fur because of the discharge from the eyes, nose or ears, then this can be a sign that the raccoon may be ill.

Unusual Behavior
Unusual behavior can manifest itself in several different ways in a raccoon if it is infected with some diseases, and this can range from a change in diet through to a change in the areas and times where it will be active. This can include raccoons that suddenly become active during the day, but in this case it is important to understand that there are other factors that can cause raccoons to be active during the day too.

Poor Condition Of The Raccoon's Coat
Another of the visible signs that may be an indication of a raccoon that is ill is if it has a patchy coat or one that has areas where the coat is uneven. Most raccoons will depend on a nutritious diet to remain healthy, so if they lose their appetite or struggle to find enough food, this can reflect in the animal's coat.

Symptoms Of Rabies In A Raccoon
Rabies is well known as one of the most dangerous diseases that can be carried by raccoons, and one of the most common signs is if the animal is unusually aggressive. Another sign of rabies that can be seen from some distance is that it causes frothing at the mouth, and a buildup of white froth is another signs that a raccoon may be carrying rabies. In terms of the animal's behavior, it can have an impact on this too, as raccoons with rabies will also display a serious aversion to water, even to the point where they are veering away from puddles and ponds to avoid the water.
