I always encounter Raccoons living in my attic, even though I am still a kid we always encounter that problem here in Canada, Recently I noticed that my house is slowly getting destroyed because of these raccoons so I have no other choice but to Call The Critter Guy here in Canada.

Raccoons do not hibernate, they remain active during the winter months. However, if the weather turns severe, they will remain in their dens and sleep until conditions improve.

Raccoons in the city have a wide variety of shelters. They can hide in an abandoned building, in an attic, under a deck or frame home, in a storm sewer or a culvert.
