Customer Raccoon Email: David, Thanks for contacting us for our opinion on your raccoon information. The internet is so full of bad information and people believe every word of it. I like what I read. Very well done. Are you in the St Louis area? I appreciate that you have created these websites without pushing people directly to you as an advertisement, but the problem we encounter most is that it is difficult to find a removal service that will be as conscientious as you appear to be. Can you provide reputable links to humane removal services for people? We have many in St Louis who claim to be humane (if it kills quickly, it can be called humane!) but then we get calls because babies are left, they killed the mom (quickly and humanely) and we have to take care of them. We get hundreds of calls every year and can only take so many. If you want to talk about this more, I can be reached on my cell phone. Thank you. Manager, Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic

My Answer: I live in Orlando FL. I'd be glad to talk with you on the phone about raccoon matters.

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.
