As the leaves start to change and the weather gets cooler, we’re not the only ones who want to snuggle up indoors. Raccoons are making their pesky way into Macon homes and garbage cans near you. Have you heard something scurrying around in your attic or outside recently? Chances are it could be a local raccoon paying you a visit.
Raccoons invade homes for shelter and food. They are nocturnal creatures, and as they are constantly searching for food, they prove to be very destructive.
