I have raccoon babies in my ceiling. We thought we'd solved the raccoon problem by having a pro come out and get rid of them, but apparently, they're still there. The babies are LOUD and sound like they're going to scratch through the wall!RACOON babies in my Ceiling! How do I get them out?
This can be a real problem. Mama raccoon will remove the babies if she thinks they are being threatened. Is there a dog available you can brush for the hair. Throwing dog hair up in the attic may convince her that there is a predator around and she may leave.
If not, raccoons can be extremely aggressive when it comes to their young. I would suggest you hire another professional, or bring back the first one. He may remove them for free, or at least give you a break because the problem is not solved.
Then you have to find out how mama is getting in. Remember, she only needs about a 3'; hole to get in. Also, raccoons are very smart, and she will keep trying to get back in your attic.
Personally, I would take mama out permanently. Problem solved.RACOON babies in my Ceiling! How do I get them out?
You said you had a professional exterminator come out and you still have a problem? Call them back and tell them to do the job right!
Unless you had them out last fall and didn't patch up the hole the raccoons were using to get in and out.
By the way sooner or later they may very well scratch through the wall. You need to have them removed and permanently close the access or their cousins will be in for a visit too.
Call your local DNR (Department of Natural Resources) or Wildlife and Game. Sometimes your tax dollars actually do work for you. They will either come out and trap them to relocate them or at least recommend a good exterminator. The other thing to try is the local animal shelter or humane society for references.
okay take some old food such as bannana peel or apple core something sweet put it in a cage and out it in there, within the hour they will be all over run up and close the cage and remove them from you house out into the wil either that or you could shoot them but that would be a lil bit cruel, so, just put the cage up and trap them.
Baby raccons means a mother racoon... and she will be dangerous protecting her babies. You'll need to call the pro again,and you'll need to crawl up there after the babies are removed to find out how they are getting in.
Contact state fish and wildlife (fish and game) department.
