Keep Raccoons Out of Your Burnaby Home
Begin by preventing potential food sources like garbage bins and compost bins especially if your home is in areas with high raccoon activity like Metrotown and Brentwood. Pet food should not be left outside and bird feeders should be placed away from reach of other animals.
Mow lawns and remove dead plants to reduce fraying and ensure that there are no hiding places or breeding grounds for wildlife which are common in places like Edmonds and Deer Lake. All cracks and holes outside your home should be sealed to avoid animals getting into your attic, crawlspace, or chimneys.
Last but not the least, remove water problems through gutter management and removal of items that cause availability of water thereby discouraging raccoons, mosquitoes and other unwanted animals in the area.
