We are North Carolina's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Charlotte 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 Charlotte 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
Charlotte Raccoon Control Tip: Different Methods Of Killing A Raccoon Causing Problems In A Garden
Raccoons are animals that can prove to be a real nuisance, and if they do become active near your home, then one of the common areas where they can be a problem is in the garden. They can cause a significant amount of damage to the lawn and plants that you have growing in the garden, while they are often able to get under or over the fences that are normally erected to keep wild animals out. There are several ways in which you can deal with this problem, and among these methods are several lethal methods that will kill a problem raccoon.
Why Are Raccoons Attracted To Your Garden?
The main attraction that will draw raccoons to a garden is the range of food sources that are present, and when raccoons do find a good food source, they will usually return to the same location time and again to take advantage of this. Raccoons are omnivores, so as well as stealing your fruits and vegetables, they will also dig holes in lawns often to catch the little insects that live below the surface of the lawn, so it is natural to want to deal with the raccoon problem.
Here are some of the common ways of dealing with raccoons:
Lethal Traps
Lethal traps will usually be designed to kill the raccoon quickly and efficiently, and will generally be spring loaded or have sharp edges that are designed to crush the animal in the trap's vice when it is triggered. If you are using this approach, then it is important to make sure it is located in such a way that it will only catch the raccoon, and won't be accessible to domestic pets, children or any other animals.
Shooting
Another method of killing a raccoon in your garden is by shooting it, and a clean head shot will kill the raccoon quickly and relatively humanely. However, in many areas there will be restrictions on the use of firearms, especially in urban or suburban areas, and there is also the risk that if you do miss, it can cause significant suffering for the raccoon.Poison
Although often mentioned as a solution for pest animals, poison should be avoided as it usually causes more problems than it solves. This can include the fact that the raccoon will not die immediately, meaning that you will need to search for the carcass, while it is also a significant hazard to any other animals or people in the area.
Changing Your Garden To Keep Raccoons Away
When dealing with raccoons in the garden, you don't have to use lethal methods to solve the problem. In many cases, changing the fencing around the garden can help to make the area less accessible for raccoons. This can include adding an electric wire on top of the fence to stop the raccoon climbing over, and also removing any fallen fruit promptly that may be creating a scent that will attract the raccoons.
Live Trapping Problem Raccoons
Another option for dealing with a raccoon infestation around the garden is to use cage traps rather than lethal methods of dealing with a raccoon problem. These cage traps are inexpensive, and can be located with a few morsels of food as bait in the areas of the garden where you can see signs of raccoon activity. Once trapped, in most cases you should be able to transport and relocate a raccoon in a rural area well away from your property, so that the animal is no longer a nuisance in your area.
