We have a racoon nesting. We heard 2 on the roof fighting, so they possibly are breeding. Any solution please

Unless you see one in the day that looks sick I wouldn't worry about them. If you have a chimney and they are walking on the roof I would put some chicken wire over it to keep them out.We have a racoon nesting. We heard 2 on the roof fighting, so they possibly are breeding. Any solution please
We one time woke up on Easter Sunday to a hole in our roof. We later found out it was a raccoon in the attic. Hard to say if it went in or came out the hole. We called a friend at the forest preserve and she told us to put a light and a radio in the attic. Ra coons don't like noise or light when they are breeding. We now have both on a switch we can flip on from downstairs. It works. Good luck!We have a racoon nesting. We heard 2 on the roof fighting, so they possibly are breeding. Any solution please
If you are unsure whether there are babies in your house then you shouldn't do anything to prevent the mom from getting to them or cause her to not come back (like a one way door, chemicals, etc).





So your first step is to call your local animal control office and see if this is the time of year they have their young. If not then you probably are safe to kick them out. Animal control will probably have recommendations as well, and will know the local laws.





Of course you can always just hire a professional and make it someone else's problem.
I assume you want them to leave. All raccoons, skunks %26amp; animals dislike MOTHBALLS. The vapours from the mothballs bugger up their sensitive noses so they just leave. Skunks %26amp; raccoons dug a hole under our building so I tossed four or five mothballs in there %26amp; they left. They came back six months later so I did it again %26amp; they left for good. Got the idea from my Grandma, they used to put mothballs under the chicken coup to keep skunks %26amp; raccoons from living there.
Best to call local Wildlife devission. Not sure but I think they belong to the endangered specie list. I would not recommend an company to take them out. Just call local Wildlife. And they will remove them for free.
