When a raccoon gets on the rooftop, and in most cases the attic, it would give its presence away with the noise it makes. You may also see the raccoon going in and out of the attic through the roof, that is if it has made a nest. Because they typically access attics through roofs, you could inspect the attic to confirm the presence of the pests. You would find the entry hole as well as characteristic features such as their long feces that has pieces of berries in it.

Proper precautions should be taken when inspecting an attic for raccoons to avoid diseases caused by raccoons. The critters may attack if they feel threatened. You should also wear protective clothing and materials such as overalls and breathing masks. Remember that the animals spit, and their spit can be a source of rabies.

Getting raccoons off the roof is a comprehensive process that could involve several processes depending on the nature of the situation. You may have to get the critters from the roof to ground level. You may also have to stop a regular visitor from getting on the roof or get rid of critters living in the attic. You also have to prevent future infestations of your property and roof.
