\"Dead<\/a>No one wants a dead raccoon on the property, let alone in their attic and that is exactly what might happen if you take the wrong steps in your attempts to get rid of raccoons that have set up residence in your homes attic or another building on your property. There is a right way to remove raccoons and a wrong way. Read on for more details.<\/p>\n

Avoid using poison on raccoons to make sure that you do not endanger pets and other animals that might stumble upon your bait. Just imagine if your kid’s favorite pet or the neighbors should eat some of the poison bait and suffer as a result. You might just be a very unpopular person for a while. In addition, if the raccoon should crawl back into your attic into an area that is difficult to reach, then you may be causing larger problems than what you wanted. You have to get that body out otherwise the smell will be very bad and your home unlivable!<\/p>\n

Dead raccoon vs One Way Trap Door<\/h2>\n

If you have raccoons in the attic, there is a proper way to remove raccoons and keep them out forever. Not only do you want to get rid of the current family of raccoons, you also want to keep any others in the area that are looking for a home from moving in. There are many raccoons living in suburbia as well as in the country and they can smell a vacant den that is comfortable to move into.<\/p>\n

Use a one-way trapdoor to let the raccoons get out of the attic but not back in. This is the best way to really get rid of them. If they can get out and not back in, your problem is solved. Once you are sure they are out, replace the one way trap door with permanent heavy gauge wire mesh so they cannot get in and no other raccoons in the future can get in. Your problems are solved for now and into the future.<\/p>\n

Baby Raccoons<\/h3>\n

If they have babies, you’re going to need to wait until they’re old enough to travel. Baby raccoons are another problem. If you keep the parents from getting too their babies, they may tear the roof apart to find a way to get back to them. You also do not want the babies to die inside your attic. The best approach is to wait until they can travel on their own and get out of the den through the trap door on their own.\u00a0 While it may mean more of a mess in the attic, the alternative is not great either.<\/p>\n

Make sure you install wire mesh over all potential entrances for birds, squirrels, and of course raccoons. while you cover the main entrance, make sure that all other possible entrances are covered with wire mesh as well to keep everything out. It may cost more to have this done, however, you will not regret keeping animals out of your home and there will be no dead raccoons inside your attic.<\/p>\n

Hire a professional company to do this installation work for you if you’re uncomfortable with the work or getting up on the roof. There is no sense in endangering yourself by getting on a roof especially if you are uncomfortable with heights. Hire a professional to do the work for you.<\/p>\n

While many people feel that this installation work is expensive, it is far cheaper than having to have the insulation removed from your home and new insulation along with repairs completed if the raccoons remain in your home for any length of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
