Signs You Have a Raccoon Problem
Raccoons are large, powerful animals—and they leave clear evidence behind.
Noises in Attic or Walls
- Heavy thumping (not light scratching like mice)
- Walking or dragging sounds at night
- Growling or baby chirping
If you’re hearing this, there’s a strong chance you’re dealing with raccoons in your attic.
Start with a professional Wildlife Inspection to confirm the animal and locate entry points.
Not sure if it’s a raccoon?
Some attic noises can sound similar. Squirrels are more active during the day with lighter movement, while raccoons are heavier and typically active at night.
You can also use our Wildlife Resource Guide to identify the animal based on sounds, droppings, tracks, and damage.

Want to better understand raccoon behavior, sounds, and how they get into homes?
If you’re not completely sure what animal you’re dealing with, our Wildlife Resource Guide can help you identify the problem based on:
- Tracks and footprints
- Droppings and contamination
- Noises and movement patterns
- Damage to your home
This is especially helpful when trying to tell the difference between raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and other common Oklahoma wildlife.
Why Raccoons Are Dangerous in Oklahoma Homes
Raccoons do not just pass through—they move in and stay.
- Fire hazard from chewing electrical wiring
- Health risks from droppings and bacteria
- Structural damage to your home
- Baby raccoons commonly present in spring
The longer they remain, the more damage and contamination they can create.
Where Raccoons Commonly Get Into Homes
In Oklahoma, raccoons often enter homes through vulnerable areas such as:
- Roof vents and attic fans
- Soffits and fascia gaps
- Damaged shingles or rooflines
- Chimneys without proper caps
- Construction gaps in older homes
Once they find an opening, they will continue returning until the entry point is professionally sealed.
That is why long-term solutions require both Humane Wildlife Removal and Wildlife Exclusion and Repairs.
Pro Tips for Raccoons in Oklahoma
Oklahoma Insight: Soffit Vent Break-Ins Are Extremely Common
In the Oklahoma City metro, raccoons are notorious for ripping open soffit vents to gain access to attic spaces. If you notice a soffit vent that has been torn, bent, or pulled loose, there is a strong chance raccoons are the cause.
Homeowner Tip: Do Not Ignore Soffit Damage
Even small soffit damage can quickly turn into a major entry point. If you see a vent that looks disturbed or partially open, it’s important to have it inspected before raccoons move in or return.
Oklahoma Insight: Spring Is Peak Baby Season
From early spring through early summer, raccoons often enter attics to have babies. During this time, homeowners commonly hear chirping or whining sounds along with heavy movement.
Homeowner Tip: Do Not Seal Entry Points Too Early
If babies are present, sealing the entry point can trap them inside and create a much bigger problem. Proper removal is critical.
