Raccoons Are Not Friendly

We all want to keep ourselves and families safe from threats that may come our way. Raccoons are an unpredictable animal. They look cute and cuddly, but they are a nuisance pest. They don't care if they damage your home or building in order to enter it. They will vacate that location as long as they are not bothered and have a food source nearby.
