Customer Raccoon Email: David, I have found your web page to be very informative. However what I'd like to know is if you have any suggestions about how to seal the house up after the removal. What we plan on doing is to remove the babies and use them as live bait to trap momma. I'm looking to make it so they can't get back in because we live out in the country. I am having a problem with destructive, belligerent racoons. They seem to be troubling the whole court I live on. Can you send me price info on getting these animals removed? Sincerely, Jeff
My Answer: I can't tell you how to seal the house up, unless I see what areas need to be sealed. As for removing the young and trapping momma raccoon, that's a very advanced technique, and if you haven't done it dozens of times already (and you haven't), then
everything will go wrong, if you can even get started, that is. I recommend calling a pro in your area off of my directory, or any other pro you can find.

The raccoon (Procyon lotor), is a common urban animal, and native to North America. Raccoons are easy to recognize, with a black mask and ringed tail, as seen in the above photo.
Raccoons tend to weigh between 10-20 pounds as adults, and live an average of 5 years. They are mostly nocturnal, and are omnivores, and will often eat pet food or garbage. They have
become very acclimated to living in cities and urban areas. They are very strong, excellent climbers, very intelligent, and they are very skilled with their hands, which causes them to
commonly break into homes and attics, where they cause considerable damage, and they also destroy other property, and thus raccoons
are considered pest animals by many people, which is why I remove them. If you want to learn more, please read my How To Get Rid of Raccoons page.
