You may ask why, since these rules seem ridiculous. Well the simple answer is that there are many raccoons in a neighborhood. Once you remove one set, another bunch will just move into the old den unless you do something to keep them permanently out of the den. So what can you do and how can you remove them safely and permanently? This is really what this web site is all about. Getting the raccoons out of your home and keeping them out forever without harming the raccoons in any way. It is a win, win for humans as well as animals.
The answer is pretty simple. All you or a company you hire needs to do is to install a one-way trap door at the entrance to the den in your attic. This way the raccoons can get out but they cannot get back in. Once you are sure they are all out, remove the one-way trap door and install heavy gauge wire mesh across the opening and no more raccoons are going to get into your home.

While this may be frustrating to read, what is recommended is that you wait until they are old enough to travel by themselves. When the can move around and get through the door, it is time to install this door. Once they are all out, they cannot get back in and you are clear of all raccoons as well.
This is the safest way to get rid of raccoons and avoid any scratches, bites or infections from wild raccoons. It is also safe for the raccoon as well. They are not dangerous and the young are also protected as well.
Have the company you hire or do it yourself. But cover all potential openings with heavy gauge wire mesh so there is no chance of raccoons getting into your home again. You will have to screw nail the wire mesh into the roof. Seal each spot with waterproof outdoor sealant to avoid any potential leaks.
