A personal story:
“When I was a young, a family of raccoons broke through the wood paneling on the ground floor of our back split home. They lived in the attic of our first floor. The sound of baby raccoons screeching, adult raccoons fighting in our ceiling and leaving at night below my window gave me severe anxiety and nightmares.
The landlord did not call professional services so my dad tried everything to get rid of the pests; he placed a radio in the attic, sprayed ammonia on the floor boards, trapped them and drove them away. It did not work.
The raccoons came back like they owned the place (they even washed pears from our pear tree in the pool water). One day a raccoon fell through the attic door and landed in our shoe closet (thankfully it got scared and retreated to the attic).
One thing I will never forget is my dog getting fleas that ultimately deteriorated her health. After months of putting up with raccoons, we decided to move.”

Raccoons as health concerns:
If you have pets or young children who may approach a raccoon, it is crucial that you take care of your raccoon problem before they threaten your family’s health. Raccoons are common carriers of distemper, mange, fleas, roundworm (Baylisascarisprocyonis –a parasite found in their excrement that can be deadly for humans), bacterial infections like Leptospirosis and parvovirus and of course rabies. If one comes in contact with an animal with rabies, it can be deadly for humans and pets.

When we visit your premises, we will be able to choose a trapping method that will work best for you. We will also be able to figure out how many raccoons are living in your attic, under your deck, in your garage or in your shed. One of the ways we can get rid of raccoons is by placing a one-way door where they enter into your property so they can get out, but their entrance back in will be blocked.

Raccoons as pests:
Raccoons are extremely destructive and can become a complete nuisance. They are very difficult to remove from buildings and strict laws enforce that raccoons must be humanely trapped.
