Also keep in mind that if you have a raccoon in your home right now, you may need to use a catch pole to capture the animal by the neck and place it in the trap. During this process, the raccoon is uninjured. It's critical to be forceful since a raccoon in your home can cause important damage. Raccoons can also become VERY violent when cornered, feel threatened, or fear their kids are in risk.
Because wildlife has adapted to living in close proximity to us, they don't mind sharing our homes. They frequently gain access to a home by chewing through roofing shingles or by discovering a small hole along the roofline and chewing it open until it is large enough to break entry. Vents are another common entry point for them into your home. Squirrels, for example, can wreak a lot of damage if they chew on electrical lines, and given the nesting materials they've brought into your home, they could even start a fire.
