When Raccoon’s give you the Hairy Eyeball

Raccoons might be charming, but like polar bears, African lions, crocodiles, rhinoceros, great white sharks and members of Hedley, they should all be watched on videos or behind protection zoo grade barriers. Now we all should know by now that these animals (dumpster sharks or raquirrels) are far from huggable squishy bears. These rascal tailed Tasmanian devils can cause a multitude of issues: property damage (house, sheds, gardens, decks, patios, feces…), diseases and injuries to your pets. If you take it upon yourself to fight back against the furry mcslashy, keep this in mind, they have razor-sharp teeth, gruella like grasping paws and are as big and heavy as most Costco Kirkland econo sized god food bags (50 lb heavy things). Catching and relocating a racoon (or family of) can be problematic, but it’s not as hard as you might think (check out the 110k YouTube videos). When attempting to catch a coon, you just need to remember three things—raccoons are curious, they are always on the hunt for food and if they have been caught before or know anything about your live trap then the gigs up. These guys are born with the knowledge that -fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me, so you have one shot at this. So before continuing this discussion on “self-trapping” a raccoon, go to our website for all the details on how it can be done safely and humanely. Better yet, save the money that you are going to spend on a one time raccoon capture program and give us a call at go green pest control.ca and we will kindly assist you in making the best decisions.
