Customer Raccoon Email 1: I just wanted to commend you for a very informative site---you gave me the information I was looking for and didn't try to sell me anything in the process which is a rarity on the internet! Great
content and I especially appreciate your cautions to those who would see a cute baby raccoon and think they had found a new, furry family member. (I'm a vet tech and don't get me started on humans keeping wildlife as pets!) Keep up the good work! Angela
My Answer: Well! Thanks for the kind words! I do like to give good information without charging anything.
Customer Raccoon Email 2: Hi, Actually I live in Florida. I have a raccoon colony in my yard. I also have seen a few possums. I have NOT seen a raccoon before this in 10 years of living here 13. I have a in ground pool....last 3 mornings,
globs of fecal material in pool and around pool. Large, black globs. This would NOT be from the possums, would it? the 2 possums are small. I have since taken all food up at night before dark....but today MORE POOP in pool. Question is: Do you
think it's a raccoon? Can I trap myself? and re-locate. I am not killing anything....and I am not in the position to pay a lot of money
My Answer: Forget it, I'm not giving you any advice unless you pay me a lot of money.
If you need wildlife control services in your hometown, click for the National Directory of Wildlife Trappers that I've carefully compiled in every US city.
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.
AAAnimal Control is a privately owned wildlife removal and pest control business, located in Orlando Florida. I deal strictly with wild animals. I am not an extermination company, but a critter removal
and control specialist. The above photos are some of the many that I've taken in the field over my years of work. Please email me if
you have any questions about the above photographs, or any questions about
wildlife problems or raccoon control issues.
