Feel free to visit our website, anytimeanimalcontrol.com to see a list of our services. Los Angeles, as strange as it may seem has many raccoon invasions every year. Orange and San Diego counties as well, and every removal process is differant. It all depends on where the animal is, what time of year it is, and if there is a litter of young raccoons. In Southern Calif. the birthing seasion is somewhere arround march-may. And the actual removal process should be carried out by a trained professional. We want very much to keep the mother and babies together. Just not in your home. She has chosen several den sites already, so after we evict the raccoon and her babies, and raccoon proof your house, she and the babies wont be back.
Building defects are the normal reasion for a raccoon to choose to den in your home. Missing chimney caps, columns with open tops, and loose fitting soffit panels near dormers are typical entry points. Have these areas checked before march and take corrective action.On occasion a raccoon will need to be removed from a dumpster. Keep those lids on and head off the problem.
Some of the worst raccoon removal jobs I’ve been on, is where the raccoon has gone right through the roof of a home. She tore the shingles, tar paper and ply wood off and made a hole as big as a socker ball. But thats a worse case, and they dont happen often.(Raccoons can be little brats sometimes!)
Then, in october- november, the skunks and raccoons start teching the young ones how to dig for grubbs in your lawn. A skunk has a better nose for these things, so she will make a small hole in the lawn about the size of a wall nut. Raccoons on the other hand, will wreck a yard over night! I recomend humane trapping in this case. A yard laid with sodd in Los Angeles can be expensive. And new sodd is just going to look like the table is set again. Get the raccoons trapped and gone before you re sod.
I hope these tips were helpfull, and you were able to take pro active steps to head off a raccoon invasion in your home. Los Angeles had over 300 raccoon removal issues on the board in 2007.
