Will a raccoon in the attic have a nest of babies? - If you have had raccoon problems in your home then you know that these beasts can be an absolute nightmare. The horrible mess that they make and the diseases that they carry make them very dangerous to have in and around your home. One bite can lead to rabies, their feces often has parasites that can make humans sick, and the germs that they leave are dangerous to you, your family, and your pets.

What many people do not realize is that raccoons bring another problem that you may not have considered. Your attic makes the absolute perfect location to have their babies. Yes, that is the truth.

Think about it for a moment. Look at the benefits of the attic. It's a very secluded place. Often no other animals are using it, not even your own pets, and those that do find themselves making a home there are usually of no problem to the raccoon. Mice, rats, squirrels and even bats usually don't bother the raccoon, so they will live there in relative peace.

While the seclusion of the attic is a great benefit, there is much more that the raccoon will find appealing. Raccoons are nocturnal creatures, and most attics are dark all day long, no matter what time of day it is. For most people there is not a window or opening into the attic other than the crawl space between the attic and the main part of the house. This keeps it dark, which is perfect for these animals who have horrible eye site and who hunt at night.

Also consider that the attic has a lot of material that can be used to build the perfect nest. While we look at fiberglass insulation as hazardous for us to breath, the raccoon sees it as a comfy and warm place to lay down. It can easily be torn by their jaws and claws, making it the ideal material to tear up. The fact that breathing it is unhealthy means nothing to them. They enjoy the texture.

Now add to the fact that many people store such things as old clothes or books in the attic, and you can see why this becomes the ideal place to have babies. There is just too much good stuff out there to use. Attics also frequently have bugs and small rodents in them which the raccoon can eat, making your attic the perfect bed and breakfast. You can be absolutely sure that if a raccoon can get into your home then it will find it the perfect place to have babies.
