Raccoon Removal Services

Once raccoons get access, they will remember the spot year after year

Raccoons
MATING: Late December to Mid-March
GESTATION: 63 days
BORN: Late February to June
LITTER: 1 to 8 kits (baby raccoon are called "kits" or "cubs")

Baby kits are fully mobile at 8 weeks old. Their eyes open at approximately 21 days old.


Raccoons are very intelligent animals. They will learn how to open garbage cans, garages, sheds or they can break roof vents and chimney capping and damage decks and roofs.


When raccoons learn a new trick, they will show the offspring how to do it and this will be passed on from generation to generation of raccoons. Raccoons are very territorial and when they take shelter on your property, they intend to stay and will mark their territory.


Once raccoons get access, they will remember the spot year after year and will return again to try to gain access. This is where preventive work is a MUST!


When a raccoon is chased out of one shelter, it will try many different ways to regain access into the house, attic, garage, shed or crawlspace. Therefore, more than a simple live trap is necessary to ensure the raccoons will not return and regain access once released.

How do we get raccoons removed?

We will locate where the raccoon is gaining access and we will set a one-way door. When the raccoon goes out, it will not be able to re-enter and is then free.


This is where preventive work is a must.

After 7 days, we will return to remove the trap door and close the entry point.


Situations can be more difficult to remove a female raccoon and her offspring from the shelter during baby season.
