<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBaby raccoons look very similar to adults, the only difference being their size. Newborns do not open their eyes until their third week of life, so they are dependent on their mothers. Even after baby raccoons have grown large enough to run, climb, and forage for food on their own, they stay with their mothers for about a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raccoon Trap in Attic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Live traps are the most effective and humane way to remove a raccoon from a property. We set and baited the traps to capture a raccoon but limited the possibilities of catching a non-target species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exclusion repairs are the most effective raccoon control. Some of the most common damage repairs include chimney caps, roof vents, and shingles. After raccoon removal, we seal all entry points with material to block all potential raccoon entry points. Once the house is protected from raccoon infestations, we apply sanitization and ectoparasite agents to mitigate the raccoon damage in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Raccoons are excellent climbers.

Once raccoons are trapped and removed, you need to seal all current and potential entry points for long-lasting raccoon control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though baby raccoons look cute and cuddly, they will still bite and scratch. Raccoons are not born with rabies but instead exposed to the disease at birth by the mother as she grooms the newborn. Do not keep raccoons as pets<\/a>!
