It's critical to remember that wild animals should never be handled. Diseases like rabies can be transmitted by wild animals. Skunks, foxes, raccoons, coyotes, and bats are the wild animals in Indiana most at risk of rabies transmission. Rabies is a brain and spinal cord infection caused by a virus. The disease is spread by bites and when an infected animal's saliva enters an open wound or the eyes. Even baby animals can be contaminated, so even if they're cute, ill, or in need of help, DO NOT HANDLE THEM.
Raccoons have the ability to wreak a remarkable amount of damage in a short period of time. Vent ducts, insulation, fan vents, cooling systems, insulation, and even robust wood beams can all be shredded by their razor-sharp claws and teeth. They also defecate and urinate in large quantities, usually in the same place where they have set up their "restroom." This feces and urine become lodged in the insulation and eventually soak through to the underlying wood. All of this means that your raccoon problem is unlikely to improve over time. It's only going to get worse. If a raccoon dies in your home, you'll know immediately since the smell is terrible.
