Raccoons exhibit nesting behavior. They will build nests in any available place they deem safe. Raccoon dens can be found in tree hollows, rock crevices, and the abandoned burrows of other animals.

Raccoons, unless it is a female with young, will not have a permanent den and will sleep where ever they feel secure at the time - in trees, culverts, under houses, attics, etc. Even females with young will frequently move her litter to a new location.

Raccoons do not really build nests, they take advantage of preexisting shelters, such as abandoned animal burrows, hollow trees, rock crevices, caves, storm sewers, attics, abandoned buildings, etc.

Raccoons do not build a nest as a bird would. They take advantage of existing shelters. Raccoons are opportunistic and may den in a hollow tree, an abandoned animal burrow, a rock crevice, cave, storm sewer, an abandoned building, a culvert or even in an attic.

Not really. Actually depends on the places that raccoons have been staying. here in Canada mostly we encounter raccoons in our attic or garage but that's normal unless there are 2-6 raccoons living inside of it.

like what I encounter before where I am obligated to call The Critter Guy for the safest and licensed raccoon removal. Because it keeps getting more and more that's why I called pest control.

No, raccoons will take advantage of animal burrows abandoned by other animals such as woodchucks.
