We are Connecticut's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Waterbury raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Waterbury pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
• If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
• Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
• When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation

Waterbury Raccoon Control Tip: Will Homeowners Insurance Pay for Raccoon Damage? 
Raccoons are highly destructive creatures. These masked bandits are armed with sharp teeth, physical strength, and dexterity. Hence, they wreak havoc on anything that lies in their path. To gain access into attics, they will rip off vulnerable points along the roof area. But that's just the beginning of their damage. 

Then they get to build their nest, which will involve tearing off insulation (which reduces the heating efficiency of your home), chewing wires (which exposes your house to the risk of an electrical fire), and ripping apart wood (which compromises the structural integrity of your building). Not to mention the pollution they cause, particularly as a result of their droppings. Little wonder repair costs can quickly rack up to thousands of dollars. 

That's a lot of money! So a serious question becomes apparent: will homeowners insurance pay for these damages? The honest answer is that it depends. In this article, we explore all the determining factors. 

Protection for "Dwellings" and "Other Structures"
Insurance companies typically cover damages caused by wildlife that results in the damage of the property itself. For instance, if a deer were to run into your back door and break your glass, homeowners insurance will pay for the replacement cost. 

But as you can guess, it's not every time you'll have deer breaking through the glass. On the other hand, nuisance wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, rats, and more are known to actively seek out damages. Hence, they are treated differently under homeowners insurance. In the next section, we'll explore the vermin exclusion clause to explain how nuisance wildlife is treated. 

The Vermin Exclusion Clause
Because of the high frequency and repair costs of damages caused by nuisance wildlife, insurance policies contain a vermin clause that enables them to evade liability for covering damages. However, the vermin clause was loosely defined so homeowners could get a claim for nuisance wildlife-related repairs. 

All this changed in 2007 when the American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS) redrafted the vermin clause to read "an animal of a type that is prone to enter or burrow into or under a structure to seek food or shelter, including raccoons". 

Raccoons perfectly fit the MO. They will chew holes in roofs or burrow under crawlspaces. They also cause damages to drywall and insulation. Their droppings can get circulated through the HVAC system, exposing homeowners to serious risks. 

Consequently, homeowner insurance companies are not legally required to cover raccoon-related damages. 

Read Your Policy
However, an insurance company can voluntarily choose to cover damages caused by raccoons. While some do, many do not because most of these problems arise from poor home maintenance. 

If you live in an area that's highly infested with raccoons, it's possible to get insurance that will cover raccoon-related damages. 

So you don't end up surprised, it's important that you carefully read through the insurance policy before subscribing to it. That way, you know exactly what's covered and what isn't. 

Extent of Coverage
Even if your policy does cover raccoon-related damages, there's a limit to what will be paid for. Your insurer will pay for repair costs to fix only structural damages, such as sealing up a hole or replacing electrical wires and insulation. Your insurer will not cover personal property damage. For instance, if the raccoon's feces and urine ruined your cloth, furniture, or other valuable items, you'd fully bear the loss. 

Should You Pursue Insurance Coverage?
Pursing insurance coverage after raccoon damage is both stressful and time-consuming. Not to forget the continual degradation of your property while waiting to claim coverage. In many instances, it's more prudent to cover the cost from your pocket. This is particularly true if repairs will cost only a few hundred dollars. Another reason to consider repairing it yourself is the potential hike in insurance premiums that a trivial claim may cause. 

Prevention is the Best Approach
Dealing with a raccoon-infestation problem is stressful - not to mention the costly damage associated. That's why it's important to prevent such a problem in the first place. You can contact a professional wildlife company to learn how you can better protect your home from wildlife invasions.
