Raccoon Inside The Attic Of Apartment Building


A raccoon was living inside of the attic of an apartment building. It had torn a hole in the siding.
When I went to address the problem, the raccoon actually poked its head out into the hole to investigate.


This raccoon was used to living near humans, and thus seemed to have no fear of me. I was able to
get right up near it and take this close-up photo.


I was in the very process of installing a one-way trap to capture the raccoon when it eventually
emerged, but amazingly, it sensed danger and bolted for it - right into the trap! It was nervous
about being captured, and peed on the roof. It was in no danger, other than being evicted from its
home. I safely relocated it. It was a male caught in September, with no young.


After the raccoon is trapped, I seal up the hole with metal, and bolt it in tight. Problem solved.
