Raccoons are very intelligent, so don't take them lightly

Raccoons are intelligent and adaptable animals that can sometimes find their way into human homes. There are a few reasons why raccoons may be drawn to houses, and understanding these reasons can help you take steps to prevent them from entering your home.

One reason raccoons may invade houses is in search of food. Raccoons are opportunistic feeders and will eat just about anything, including pet food, garbage, and even birdseed. If they can find an easy food source in or around your home, they may be tempted to move in.
