About Raccoons in Georgia
Raccoons are strong, clever and can tear off vents, soffits and shingles to get into a warm attic or chimney, especially in spring when females look for a place to have their young.
Raccoon problems should be handled carefully. They can carry diseases and parasites, and a cornered or protective mother can be dangerous.

How to Identify Raccoons
Raccoons are roughly the size of a small dog, with gray fur, a black mask and a ringed tail. They are mostly nocturnal. Droppings are often found in a single spot, called a latrine.
Signs You May Have Raccoons
- Heavy thumping, scratching or chittering in the attic or chimney, especially at night
- Damaged vents, shingles, soffits or chimney caps
- Overturned trash cans and pet food disturbed at night
- Latrine areas with droppings in attics, decks or yards
- A strong odor or stained ceilings
Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Georgia
Raccoons thrive in suburban Georgia, with creeks, trees and plentiful food. Spring is the most common season for attic and chimney intrusions, when mothers look for a safe den.
