Raccoon was caught below this tree.  He had vacated property for 2 or 3 days because he knew he had been discovered.  Persistent monitoring and baiting traps did pay off.  His habits of coming here got him caught.   He was relocated.


The Nighttime Job

This Raccoon entered along side of the plumbing and 
slid down like a fireman in a Firehouse.

coonceiling2.jpg (20026 bytes)

A listening device pin pointed the exact spot.

After removal, these little tots were set outside, so the mother raccoon could join them later when no one was around.  The 4 traps were covered because of the rain, she could enter from the sides.  No matter how difficult an animal job becomes, you will only pay what we quoted.  Took 14 days on this one.


Raccoon sound 
(Is this the sound you are hearing in your walls or ceiling. If so, you have raccoons.)

Another pregnant Raccoon. (She entered through the rear attic vent.)

Also with this home, the raccoon entered in through the automatic ventilator. After animal removal was completed, we will either re-screen or install a (Critter Guard) vent cover, Your Choice.

The Vent-A-Hood Job

rac1a.jpg (5106 bytes)
This little Critter did not enter the living area of this home through the chimney, as you might think.. She could have, but there are 2 chimney's at this home. This little Critter chose the chimney that vented everything in the home, (Gas, plumbing, and vent-a-hood) Once in the chimney this little raccoon made the wrong turn and crawled through the metal vent that vented the vent-a-hood. The raccoon ended up on the stove along with 30 years of soot piled on the stove. After entering the living area of this home the raccoon could not find anywhere to hide. She choose the fireplace. We removed 3 over a period of 10 days in different locations in the home.

Finally the raccoon turned its head and bingo we got her.
Raccoon Eviction Fluid

Critters are not always cooperative when having to snare them out.

rac1d.jpg (6628 bytes)
Here we are checking the gender of the raccoon before removal from the property (this is most important). We discover the gender is a female. There is a slight indication of recent nursing.
What to do next? The information on the procedures to follow on this type of situation is lengthy. This is why a professional must address these problems. New births with Raccoons will occur anywhere from March through June. It depends on what area of the country you live in. However, over 75% of the births will occur during April & May. This is the most difficult time for even the most seasoned professional. Most of the companies advertising animal or wildlife control will make excuses to avoid taking on Raccoon jobs during the birthing season, so schedule an appointment as quickly as possible.
