RACCOON LIVE TRAPPING PROCESS

Live trapping is often the preferred method for safely removing raccoons from residential areas while minimizing harm to both the animals and property. This concise guide outlines four key steps for effectively trapping and relocating raccoons, offering practical advice for homeowners seeking to address raccoon intrusions humanely and responsibly.

Monitoring: We'll check the traps regularly to reduce stress on any raccoons we catch and make sure they don’t get hurt or escape.

1.

Preparation: We'll start by setting up live traps in key spots around your property, making sure they're big enough for raccoons and baited with tasty treats like marshmallows or canned cat food.

2.

Transportation and Release: Once we catch a raccoon, we'll safely move it to a suitable location far from residential areas, ideally a wooded area with a water source, and release it following local guidelines.

3.

Prevention: Finally, we'll talk with you about ways to keep raccoons from coming back, like securing garbage bins and sealing off entry points to your home.

YOUR RACCOON QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • Raccoons can carry diseases such as rabies and transmit parasites like roundworms. They may also become aggressive if cornered or feel threatened. It's important to avoid contact with raccoons and their waste to minimize the risk of disease transmission.

  • Without proper exclusion techniques, raccoons may attempt to return to your property. That's why we implement exclusion methods after removal, such as sealing entry points and installing barriers, to prevent raccoons from re-entering your property.

  • Raccoons are adept climbers and can access attics, crawl spaces, and chimneys by climbing trees, downspouts, or even directly scaling the exterior walls of buildings. They may also exploit existing vulnerabilities such as loose vents or damaged roofing materials.

  • Raccoons are primarily nocturnal animals, meaning they are most active at night. However, in areas with abundant food sources or less disturbance, raccoons may become more active during the day.

  • Cleaning up raccoon feces and urine should be done carefully to minimize the risk of disease transmission. It's advisable to wear gloves and a mask while cleaning, and to thoroughly disinfect affected areas with a bleach solution or commercial disinfectant.
