Our experts will methodically follow out your personalised action plan after you are completely satisfied with it. In our experience, we avoid using humane live traps wherever possible for a variety of reasons. The first is that other animals, including pets, can be trapped. Second, animals are incredibly intelligent, and many will refuse to be tricked into a live trap (at least not for several days). As a result, we install a cage that captures the animal as it enters or exits your home whenever possible. When it is legal, we remove and relocate the animal.
Raccoons have the ability to wreak a remarkable amount of damage in a short period of time. Vent ducts, insulation, fan vents, cooling systems, insulation, and even robust wood beams can all be shredded by their razor-sharp claws and teeth. They also defecate and urinate in large quantities, usually in the same place where they have set up their "restroom." This feces and urine become lodged in the insulation and eventually soak through to the underlying wood. All of this means that your raccoon problem is unlikely to improve over time. It's only going to get worse. If a raccoon dies in your home, you'll know immediately since the smell is terrible.
