Whether it’s food, a space to live, or both, raccoons are often drawn to people’s houses. If you find one in your place, it can be quite disconcerting and scary. However, it’s best to remain calm and know that there are a few measures you can take to ensure safe and effective raccoon removal

How to Handle Raccoon Removal

1. Don’t Panic

Raccoons are relatively harmless animals if they aren’t threatened. Don’t approach or corner them, as they are likely trespassing in search of food or shelter. Keep young family members away and ask them not to make too much noise to prevent frightening the intruders and putting them on the offensive. 

2. Close Them In

Also, keep pets and kids out of the area until the issue is resolved. If you cannot secure the premises for any reason, vacate everyone from the home to avoid an accidental run-in with the creature.

3. Call a Professional

You should never try to remove a raccoon from your house yourself. Without the right equipment and knowledge, you could get hurt or injure the animal. Getting bit or scratched can also spread disease. Contact a professional service to safely release and relocate it.

 

If an animal enters your home, turn to the team at American Bio-Tech Wildlife Services. Based in New Milford, CT, they travel around the state, to ethically remove a threat and prevent the problem from happening again. They can also repair property damage the creature causes. Reach out to them online or call (860) 355-1231 to request raccoon removal or other related services today.
