Raccoon Removal: Understanding the Problem

Raccoons are fascinating yet troublesome creatures. Their strength, adaptability, and ability to thrive in human environments often make them unwelcome guests. They can invade attics, overturn trash cans, and spread diseases, posing structural and health risks.

Common Raccoon Problems

  • Invading attics or crawl spaces.
  • Tipping over trash cans for food.
  • Stealing pet food or birdseed.
  • Confronting household pets.
  • Spreading diseases through droppings and contact.

Why Do You Have a Raccoon Problem?

Food & Water

  • Raccoons are opportunistic scavengers who eat fruits, vegetables, garbage, pet food, and fish.
  • Water sources, like outdoor bowls, also attract them.

Shelter

  • Homes offer warmth and comfort, making them prime targets for raccoons.
  • Once inside, raccoons cause significant damage to stay in your space.

Steps to Remove Raccoons

1

Eliminate Attractants

  • Secure trash cans with tight lids.
  • Remove fallen fruits, bird seed, and food scraps.
  • Avoid leaving pet food outside.
  • Seal all attic entry holes and install chimney caps.

2

Identify Areas of Damage

  • Inspect attics, gardens, crawlspaces, and trash bins for high-activity zones.

Raccoon Removal Techniques

Live Trapping

  • Seal all entry holes except one and install an exclusion device.
  • Use bait, such as eggs or fresh fish, to lure the raccoon into the trap.
  • Check for babies in the attic or crawl space; remove them carefully to lure the mother.
  • Relocate the raccoon family at least 10 miles away.

The Importance of Decontamination

Raccoons leave behind droppings, nesting materials, and food scraps that harbor diseases like Salmonella, Leptospirosis, and roundworms.

  • Absolute Critter Removal uses enzyme-based cleaners to sanitize affected areas, eliminating germs and creating a safe environment.

Repairs to Prevent Reentry

Raccoons can cause extensive damage:

  • Chewed wood, pipes, or electrical wires.
  • Shredded insulation.

Absolute Critter Removal repairs damage and seals entry points to prevent future infestations, ensuring long-term protection.

Raccoon Exclusion: A Humane Solution

A method that allows raccoons to leave your home but prevents them from reentering.

When to Use Exclusion

  • You’re sure there is only one raccoon.
  • There are no babies present, as excluding a mother can cause property damage.

 

Exclusion Methods

  1. Exclusion Doorway: A one-way trapdoor lets the raccoon exit but blocks reentry.
  2. Exclusion Trapping: A steel cage trap is placed over the entry point. Once the raccoon is trapped, it is relocated at least 10 miles away.

Key Tip: Always seal entry points securely after removal—raccoons are determined and will exploit weak spots.
