Red Cedar Raccoons

Raccoons on Roofs

More raccoons on the roof! Red Cedar couple is surprised by pile of raccoon scat on roof. Evergreen limbs overhanging their roof from the nature trail provides EZ transport for the raccoons over the couple's roof to the neighbors back yard where the raccoon travel daily to feed.

If you have limbs overhanging your property from the nature trails, MCCA says it's OK to cut limbs at your property line. Better yet...call Joan at MCCA office and she will have someone look at the trees and trim them back. Tree limbs and vines make perfect transportation lines for rats and raccoons onto roofs and into attics. Check the trees and vines around your roof before winter sets in.

Reminder...Don't feed the raccoons! They may be fun to watch but they can damage your property as well as small pets and children.
