Before we arrive
Until we get there
- Do not block the hole. If young are inside, the mother will tear a new way in to reach them.
- Do not light a fire if you hear animals in the chimney.
- Keep pets in and away from the animal, and do not try to catch it yourself.
- Keep trash in cans with locking lids until the job is done.

How the job goes
1 · Find the den
We find where the raccoons sleep and the opening they use to come and go.
2 · Look for young
From March to July we check for young before anything else, so none are left behind.
3 · Take them out
We trap the adults, take out the young by hand and make sure the space is empty.
4 · Seal and repair
We close the opening with steel mesh or sheet metal and tell you about any other damage we found.
Price
What changes the price
We tell you the price of the first visit on the phone before we come out. It depends on your ZIP code. Each return visit to check a trap has its own price, and we tell you that on the phone too.
- Attic, chimney, garage or outdoors
- Whether there is a litter of young
- How high the opening is
- How much of the roof edge needs closing

Questions about raccoons in Ridley
A raccoon is living in my shed. Can you get it out?
Yes. We trap it, check for young and close the gap it used to get in, so another one cannot move in.
