Raccoons are animals that are not only incredibly intelligent but highly adaptable, creating high populations of them across the country. They have been able to move from being a wildlife creature native, to the country landscape, to leading successful urban lives in towns and cities across the state of Wisconsin. Many factors have contributed to their population growth. If you have noticed raccoon signs on your property, you may be in need of a professional raccoon removal service for your Milwaukee home.

Availability Of Shelter In Urban Areas 

  When talking about the habitats of raccoons in the wild, they are what is called cavity nesters. Meaning they would typically find shelter by searching for old, hollow trees and similar small spaces in natural surroundings. Apply this to the way modern towns and cities are built, it becomes clear that there are countless cavities available for raccoons to cozy up in throughout not only Milwaukee but most cities. There are countless places for these animals to live. Backyard sheds, decks and garages are all inviting areas for them to make a home.

Readily Available Food Sources 

  Dining options for raccoons in urban areas are so abundant it is impossible to keep track of their number. Raccoons will feed on vegetation, meat or anything else they can get their paws on. They are omnivores. Their natural diet can include bird eggs, insects, nuts, berries and small mammals like mice. In search of food, they target bird seed from feeders, raspberries from your backyard bushes, your compost pile and even trash cans. There are tons of such food sources available on every corner in a typical city.
