Raccoons are highly adaptable, nocturnal mammals commonly found in urban and suburban areas of New Jersey. They are expert scavengers, often rummaging through garbage cans, pet food, and compost piles. Their dexterous paws allow them to open latches, climb structures, and even break into attics and crawl spaces for shelter.
In NJ, raccoons are a major concern due to their tendency to nest in chimneys, attics, and under decks, leading to property damage and potential rabies transmission. Signs of an infestation include loud thumping noises at night, torn insulation, and scattered garbage.
To prevent raccoon problems, secure trash bins, block potential entry points, and seek professional trapping services before they cause structural damage.
