I CAUGHT A RACCOON - NOW WHAT?
This raccoon took up residence in my shed which is very near my chicken coop.
I got rid of the raccoon humanely by removing him from the shed with a leash and letting him go.
He was not very happy about the whole situation so I hope that the trauma from the experience will deter him from coming back.
The next time I see him, I think it will have to be a permanent removal.
Getting this close to a wild animal is dangerous. You never know what they could do or what disease they could carry. Do not attempt this yourself. Call a professional animal control specialist. OR use a live trap to relocate.

@webyankee6558 Год назад

Raccoon have been known to attack people. The raccoons seek a secure space during the day, a shed , a bush, under a porch, any little cubby hole.

You’re brave to reach down to remove that leash! I’m so used to possums being here; they are very skittish but when I try to chase this raccoon off that just started coming around, it wasn’t scared of me at all. I thought it was gone and so I started to go check the cat food in the bowl and saw that it was only about 3 feet from me...I got scared and turned around to run back to the porch and fell going up the steps. Scraped and bruised, I guess my screaming crying and cussing finally scared him away! But not for long he was back the next night and I’m having trouble getting him to stay gone. I do feel sorry for them because their habitat has been destroyed here in town and they really have no place to go. But I can’t have rabies vector animals and last spring we had raccoons AND skunks.

@CountryFamily 4 года назад

Wow Marcy hope you're alright from that encounter. He's probably coming around looking for food and if the cat's food is accessible he'll keep coming back. Maybe there is a way to put the cat dish out of his reach?

@tigerjhouston7880 3 года назад

I had a raccoon family in my attic. The attic has many corners beyond reach and not visible. Searched on the web and found the ammonia treatment. Got two bottles from Walmart and throw a few tennis 🎾 balls soaked with ammonia and the raccoon family gone. Cost $2.51.

@Maxbps88 3 года назад

Really? Interesting. I've had four 1-year olds removed but momma is scratching around and we are literally planning on doing something more (than trapping) if she is still here on Friday (today is Wednesday 5.12.21). Thanks for the idea.

@Brandoncye 2 года назад

What kind of "ammonia" did you use? I'm having this problem now in my attic! We spent $ on pest control to come trap them but they left 1 trap at like 5pm and came back the next day around noon. And took the trap away and closed the hole... I thought it was pretty fast of them and that they didn't really care about our situation. And needless to say, the raccoons are back. We've seen 4 at once, and I heard more up there at that time, so I know we have/had at least 5 or 6 up there. Plus I hear them IN THE WALLS! That's so creepy!!!! So what ammoina did you get and use at Walmart!?

Man.....I was feeding a possum that kept coming around at night. Early last week a racoon showed up. So...I fed him. He came back the next night and I fed him again. By the 3rd night he was taking the food from my hand. Last night there were 2 of them. So....I guess I shouldn't have fed him in the first place. Now, I need to get rid of them both. The new one was still afraid of me... but not the first one. I have no other pets so I guess I'll just ignore them and they'll eventually go away. I HOPE.

@sewcrazybaker Год назад

Instead of killing that raccoon just do what I did. Buy a live trap and bait it with peanut butter, marshmallows and part of a cut up birdseed stick. Once you have him, drive him to a new home many miles away. If I can do this 6 times to 6 different raccoons, so can you. I think I'm slightly older than you are. I'm a 70 year old woman.

@lauriewhite1280 4 года назад

Humane but unless you physically relocate him 50 miles away,he will return. We've been dealing with a huge raccoon problem for 3 yrs,thanks to nasty neighbors who trashed their house,yard,shed etc then abandoned the property to foreclose. Have spent $$$$ on removal,Fox urine,you name it. Now there is rabies over there and the owners LoanCare LLC continue to do nothing. Although we are in the city limits the health dept,animal control etc leave it as well. Good luck

Oh you got me. Only rich city folks can afford Honda generators. Especially used ones that burn as much oil as gasoline because it's got about a million miles on it. Oh and the bigger generator is a Briggs & Stratton - BTW.
