5 Signs You Have Raccoons in Your Attic
Heavy thumps at night? Here’s how to tell if it’s raccoons — and what to do next.
Raccoons are one of the most destructive attic invaders in Orange County, and a nesting mother can cause serious damage fast. Here are the tell-tale signs.
The five signs
- Heavy thumping or movement across the ceiling at night (raccoons are big and loud).
- Torn shingles, soffits, or vent screens where they forced entry.
- Droppings or a strong odor near the roofline or in the attic.
- Chittering or crying sounds — often a sign of young in the nest.
- Knocked-over trash cans and garden damage around the property.
Our raccoon removal work in Orange
Photos are from our own crews on real jobs across Orange County and Los Angeles — never stock. We run these same steps on every Orange call.
Why you shouldn’t wait
Raccoons chew wiring (a fire risk), soak insulation with waste, and a mother will fiercely defend her young. DIY eviction can be dangerous and often leaves babies behind. We remove raccoons humanely — including any young — then seal the entry points and clean up. See our raccoon removal service or call for a free inspection.
