We are Maryland's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Baltimore raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Baltimore pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
• If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
• Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
• When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation

Baltimore Raccoon Control Tip: Removing Raccoons Living Under A Porch Or Outbuilding
Raccoons are elusive pest animals that can find a nesting spot in many areas of a domestic property, and while their natural instinct is to climb to get away from potential threats, they can also choose nesting spots at ground level. The cavities beneath a porch or shed can offer the small confined space that will help a raccoon to feel safe, while also providing a level of shelter that will be attractive to the animal. Once they have found a nesting spot in this part of your home though, they can prove themselves to be a significant nuisance.

What Are The Signs Of A Raccoon Infestation?
One of the most common signs that you can identify is that raccoons will quickly start to scavenge for food from the area around your home, so you will often find garbage sacks ripped open, or even pet food stores raided for food. Raccoons are also able to hunt for insects and worms, so if you have a lawn in your yard or garden, you may also see signs of a series of holes on the lawn, where the raccoons have been digging to catch the worms and insects that live below the surface of the lawn.

Choosing A Trap To Catch Raccoons
When it comes to getting the right trap to deal with a raccoon infestation, you should always make sure that it is sturdy enough to restrain the animal and to hold it until you are ready to release the raccoon. It is also important that you choose a trap of the right size, so one that is either designed for a raccoon, or an animal of a similar size such as a feral cat. Otherwise, the trap may not trigger appropriately, or may not be able to restrain the raccoon.

Placing And Baiting The Trap
Location is key when you are trying to catch a raccoon, and ideally you will need to find a location that is close to the space that the raccoon is using to get in and out of the cavity beneath your porch or outbuilding. As they are cautious, they will usually move up or down the wall to each side, which is the best place to locate your trap. You should also place some bait in the trap to catch the raccoon, with wet cat food or dog food often proving to be effective, but there are many foods that you can try if you are struggling to catch the raccoon.

Checking For Baby Raccoons
Once you have caught the raccoon, it is important that you check its nest for any baby raccoons before you seal the area. If there are baby raccoons present in a nest beneath the porch or shed, make sure you pick these out using gloves, and take them with you when you are relocating the raccoon. You should also make sure that you carry out any required repairs, and install some wire mesh over the entry to the cavity, to prevent other wild animals to get in too.

Removal And Relocation Of The Raccoons
When it comes to relocating your trapped raccoon, you should make sure to put some waterproof material in the vehicle beneath the trap you are transporting, while a blanket over the cage can help to keep the raccoon calm. Choose a location in a rural area well away from any domestic properties, and make sure you release the animal along with any baby raccoons in a location that is not likely to cause a nuisance for others, but at least ten miles away from your own home.
