Raccoons Around Your Property
Raccoons can tear into roofs, nest in attics, raid outbuildings, and leave behind contamination. Borland Wildlife Solutions helps property owners across the Lincoln, Nebraska area identify activity, address the problem, and reduce the chance of repeat entry.
Common Signs
Listen for heavy thumping, dragging, or chattering sounds at night. You may also notice torn shingles, bent soffit, disturbed vents, tracks, or droppings near entry points.
Property Damage
Raccoons can rip open weak construction, crush insulation, damage ductwork, and contaminate attics or crawl spaces. Damage often grows quickly when a denning site is left active.
Why They Stay
Warm shelter, easy food, and repeat access keep raccoons close to homes, farms, and commercial buildings. Garbage, pet food, feed storage, and unsealed openings all increase risk.
When To Act
Early action helps limit structural damage and contamination. If you are hearing activity, seeing entry damage, or finding signs around the building, it is time to have the issue evaluated.

Where Raccoon Problems Start
Attics And Rooflines
Loose soffit, roof returns, vents, and construction gaps can become access points when raccoons are looking for shelter.
Decks And Crawl Spaces
Low, protected spaces under structures can attract raccoons looking for cover, especially near food or water sources.
Garages And Outbuildings
Barns, sheds, and other secondary structures may offer quiet denning areas and easy access to stored feed or pet food.
