This week our guy Tommy went on a call about raccoons in an attic. Its a nice neighborhood out in the country, so it sometimes attracts unwelcomed visitors from the nearby Florida wilderness.
Accompanied by our company Vice President Christy, the outside of the home was checked and sure enough, the soffit was pulled away in one spot, allowing easy access to a critter wanting to live in the attic.
Next, Tom opened the attic access an could hear baby raccoons crying for their startled mamma. He dispensed some predator scent to keep momma raccoon away while he crawled through the tight attic to the nest. There nestled comfortably in a dormer, were four newborn baby coons. They could’nt have been more than 2 or 3 days old, with eyes still shut and umbilicals still attached.
Once the babies were packed up and moved out, more predator scent was used to convince momma raccoon to leave the attic. There was no longer any reason for her to stay and put up with what she had to consider a scary, bad smelling human.
Once she exited, her “welcome mat” was yanked. The soffit was fixed, and the babies were taken to a local veterinarian to be cared for until they are old enough to fend for themselves in the wild.
Just another typical call for we here at Nuisance Wildlife Removal.
