We can employ chemical solutions to certain problems. These methods include natural pesticides.

Trapping of Fur Bearing Animals Permit Shooting in Sensitive Environments
Our extensive training and certifications allow us to use pyrotechnics or firearms, even in urban settings.

35+ years of Bird and Animal Wildlife Control probably speaks for itself.

How Do You Handle Aggressive Mother Raccoons?

Are you finding yourself at the receiving end of some raccoon rage? Well, that's not entirely surprising, given the time of year. Let's explore why raccoons may be more aggressive than usual right now and what to do about it, shall we?

Why Does Summer Bring More Raccoon Activity?

Raccoon kits are born in late spring and early summer, also known as baby raccoon season. So, an overly aggressive raccoon is most likely a new mother, protective of and worried for her little ones. Raccoon babies are born blind and hairless and depend entirely on their mother for survival. The increase in aggressive mother raccoon sightings during this time of year is mostly due to litters of 2 to 7 kits (with most litters averaging around 4). Of course, there is also the threat of rabies. If you observe a raccoon off-balance., lethargic, OR overly aggressive and you do not suspect a litter nearby, it is advisable to call your municipal animal control and inform them of your observations.

Protecting Her Young
Momma Raccoon stresses about the safety of her babies and is ready to defend them at the drop of a hat - particularly against male raccoons;
Intensive Foraging
Females will forage more so than usual for food (garbage, pet food, garden produce, accessible bird feeders, fruit trees, etc.) to sustain themselves and their growing litter, making any property with available resources a prime target.

Where Will You See Increased Raccoon Activity?

Common nesting sites include attics, garages, chimneys, crawlspaces, sheds, and rooflines;
Businesses may find nests in rooftop HVAC units or dumpsters;
Raccoons may be more visible in the backyard and garden;
You may see more signs of raccoons around trash bins.

The Dangers of Dealing with an Aggressive Raccoon

Raccoons have sharp teeth and claws and are generally determined and courageous animals. If cornered or threatened, they will be combative.

Signs of Aggression to Watch for:

Hissing, growling, chattering teeth, or snorting;
Charging or making feinting attacks;
The animal stands its ground when approached, refusing to retreat;
Increased bold behavior, even during daylight hours, as they tirelessly forage for their growing litter.;
Increased aggression towards family pets;
Attempts to “shoo away” or block entry into a building backfires — the animal may tear through siding or roofing to regain access to your home.
