Suburban Raccoons

A raccoon one way trap door malfunction can occur if it is not properly installed. If the raccoons are still going in and out, then it might be time to call in the professionals. Have them install one that works and lets the raccoons out but not back in. The longer you allow them to live in your home, the more damage they are going to do.

They will damage your insulation by packing it, urinating on it and leaving feces all over the place. You can review a few of our other posts to see the damage and the mess that they leave. The pictures show it all. Our posts discuss the right way to get rid of them so they stay permanently out. There is also a proper way to dispose of the contaminated insulation. Make sure the people doing the work avoid any health risks.

Raccoon One Way Trap Door Malfunction

The trap door must open outwards and immediately close to avoid them getting in again. Raccoons are very adept with their claws. They can manipulate things almost as good as humans can. The trap door must be constructed in such away that they cannot reopen the door. This will stop them from re-entering the attic or the  interior of the building you are trying to keep them out of.

A professional company will install them properly making sure that there are no leaks in the roof caused by the screw nails used and then remove the door once all of the raccoons are out. A permanent wire mesh will be installed over the opening to keep them out. while they are at your home you can also arrange to have all other potential openings closed off as well with wire mesh to avoid any future problems. In addition they will tell you how to deal with any raccoon babies that may or may not be inside the den.
