Got Raccoons in Kitchener? Who you gonna call?

When a creature gains entry into your home, it can be both annoying and damaging. Small creatures such as mice and bats easily find ways into the home, seeking refuge from the cold outside. Larger animals will also try to enter your home and many times, are successful. Raccoons are a larger animal that tend to gain entry to attic spaces via openings they find or make on the roof or in crawlspaces. With raccoon removal Kitchener services, you will find the creature can be removed quickly. But who do you call?

For most home owners, having a raccoon in the home is an odd occurrence. You were not expecting any creatures to take up residency in your home and you will want to have the creature removed as soon as possible. To do so, it is best to contact a wildlife agency. Wildlife removal services will ensure the raccoon is removed from your home and their entry point secured against re-entry.

When raccoons are found living in the home, the area, usually an attic space, is greatly affected. The attic can be filled with urine and feces as well as chewed up areas where wood and insulation are destroyed. The raccoon will call the area their own and once the animal is removed, cleanup and some renovations may be required.

When a wildlife expert arrives at your home, they will first provide an assessment of the affected area. The expert will determine where the raccoon is gaining entry into the home and try to find out if any babies exist or how many raccoons are living in the space. Once information has been collected, the removal process will begin.

Removing a raccoon is not as simple as catching it. Raccoons can harbor disease such as rabies and wildlife experts have to be careful in removing the creature to avoid injury to themselves as well as the animal. The best way to remove raccoons is using hands-on methods. Adults can be chased or forced out of the attic but immobile babies will have to be removed by hand and can then be used to lure the mother out of her den.

Once she’s been reunited with her babies, the entry point is secured and she must then relocate her babies to one of her other den sites in the neighborhood. This type of removal is humane and reduces and permanent.
