Trapping Raccoons

Raccoons are attractive, curious, sharp and often troublesome mammals. Raccoons are omnivorous; they eat both plant and animal foods. They have very flexible front paws which make them excellent climbers, and allow them to carry objects in a way unlike most other animals. Raccoons are most dynamic and defensive at night. They do not hibernate, but usually become dormant during severe winter weather.

Inspecting for Raccoons and Trapping Placement

All raccoons have a trademark black ‘mask’ around the eyes, are heavily furred, and ringed tail. Its fur color ranges from a grey and black, to a dirty yellowish brown. Raccoons may weigh between 10 and 30 lb., or more, and can grow up to 24 or 36 in. They are found mostly in the regions of North America and prefer woods; however, they are quite compliant to different environments.

Damage By Raccoons

Trapping Raccoons is recommended as they are capable of a lot of damage . In urban environments, raccoons are very much capable of discovering homes in uncapped chimneys, tearing off shingles or fascia in order to gain entrance to an attic or wall void, tearing up and thus spoiling lawns in search for grubs and earthworms, destroying gardens, and upsetting the contents of garbage cans. In attics and wall voids, the build-up of raccoon’s waste and urine can lead to health hazards for the homeowner. In more rural environments, raccoons can be highly destructive for poultry barns.
