Most policies exclude coverage for damage caused by animals, varmints, and insects.
Usually not. Destruction by vermin (which raccoons would likely be classified as) is typically excluded from a standard homeowners policy.

Yes.
I understand, from conversation with State Farm agents, that yes, State Farm, at least here in Colorado, does cover damage done by raccoons, even though State Farm policies may not cover damage done by "rodents" or "vermin". Raccoons are generally considered to be "wildlife" and thus, damage done by them is treated similarly to dmaage done by their distant cousins, bears.
Check with your agent. There may be some compensation for repairs, but not for ridding your home of the raccoons.
They're telling us they will not because they are rodents. Raccoons are not rodents. Apparently there will be a law suit against Allstalte if they don't change their stance.
Allstate boat insurance may cover damage from raccoons if it is included in your policy's coverage for vandalism or property damage. However, coverage specifics can vary based on the policy and local regulations. It's essential to review your policy details or contact Allstate directly to confirm coverage for raccoon damage. Always ensure you understand your policy limits and exclusions.
Raccoons can cause damage to lawns by digging for grubs and worms which they eat. They can damage crops and gardens while foraging for foods. Raccoons may damage roofs while trying to get inside for food or to make a den. They may also kill chickens if the birds are not well secured at night.
The answer depends not on what state the damage occurred in, but what kind of coverage you have. If it is your car, damage from an animal is covered under "comprehensive" coverage. Look at the declarations page of your policy to see if you have this. For homeowners insurance, usually damage from larger animals, like raccoons is covered, but smaller animals, like rodents, termites, etc are not covered.
Raccoons help by controlling rodents and insects. They also will scavenge trash for discarded food. However, raccoons can also be pests that may damage property, steal food and carry disease.
To prevent raccoons from causing damage to your trees, you can install motion-activated lights or sprinklers, trim branches away from structures, use tree guards, and secure garbage cans. Additionally, removing potential food sources like fallen fruit can help deter raccoons.
