Woodbridge Wildlife Trapper Tip of the Month:
Do raccoons burrow or dig holes?

Raccoons have claws for digging. However, they don’t dig large holes for homes. They sometimes dig for food. They also dig under fences for access.
When you are living near the woodlands or a wildlife park, you are more likely to get raccoons scurrying in your garden. Raccoons are known to be bold although they avoid any human contact. They are non-confrontational and nocturnal. They will visit your backyard repeatedly when they find that it is a food source.

The word raccoon came from a Powhatan word that means an animal that scratches with hands. Although they have 5 long tapered nails, they lack thumbs. They usually use their forepaws to lift food and manipulate objects. Raccoons tend to “wash” their food. They can be seen smelling their food and “cleaning” it before eating it. This is a myth. Scientific studies show that they rub or wet an object to gather more information. When a raccoon handles a stone, worm, clam, or fish, his sensory data can interpret various sensations through touch.

Raccoons are great escape artists as well. They are intelligent and problem solvers. They tend to go inside attics, sheds, chimneys, campground and garbage cans in order to look for food. Their brains are able to interpret the vast amount of information about an object just by touching it.



Raccoons and Shelters

Raccoons can be found in forest areas. They can find shelter inside hollowed trees. However, some of the time, they burrow their way through the dirt to build a home. Their sharp claws can help them with the burrowing. They also can build a den that is safe from the weather, from predators, and from humans.

Raccoons and Fences

People build tall fences in order to keep raccoons and other critters outside of their properties. However, simple fences could not solve critter problems. If the fence is too high, raccoons can just simply burrow underneath it in order to hunt for food. Many homeowners are advised that they should dig at least 5 feet deep in order to prevent raccoons from burrowing through the fence. Since raccoons are problem solvers, they can spend time in working through the fence. However, if they discovered that it is simply too deep for them, they will just simply give up. Digging and burying your fence might sound like extra work, but it can help you successfully keep these critters out.

Raccoons Inside your House

If raccoons gain access to your garden, they will create a lot of damage to it. They like to eat crops and corn. You should harvest them as soon as possible. Raccoons are known to burrow for watermelons since they love to eat the sweet fruit inside. They also burrow for earthworms, fallen fruits, and insects to eat. Many states protect raccoons from being hunted and killed. You should take extra precaution when you see a raccoon since they tend to bite when they feel cornered. Call a wildlife conservationist or a professional if you need help handling the raccoons.
