Some that can affect humans and pets are leptospirosis, salmonella, roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) and rabies.
Here are a few photos of raccoon droppings found in attics.
Exclusion
Exclusion is the most humane and effective way to remove raccoons from your home. Exclusion consists of finding the access point(s) of the animal and sealing it off with a one way tunnel that will allow the animal to escape but not return. In cases where exclusion cannot be done we will trap the area and permanently seal off the access point to the structure. See photos below of exclusion.
