Raccoon Removal From Garage Wall 

Momma raccoon cc: Thank you for providing us a heated one bedroom apartment. Nice and comfy. A little tight but the rent is good. It’s hard taking care of five little bandits on a single raccoon mother’s income. 😁

Mother Raccoon: It's free real estate

What's refreshing about Mr Gates -- the absence of preening virtue signalling and lecturing. We can see by his actions that he's a compassionate and thoughtful professional. He doesn't spend camera time explaining his approach and telling us how to be better people. He gets the job done, well.

It's hard to find housing for such a large family

In Germany they use an electrical wire around the roof. The raccoons get shocked and leave. They never come back. They will remember the shock. Needs to be applied in Canada and the U..S.

She climbed up there like hey that’s my kid! Give me my damn baby! Thank you 🤨😂😂😂

Raccoons are known for being smart... I am surprised more of them don't move into the box... probably the fact it smells of skunk ;)

The raccoon moved to the neighbours and is settling down in a heating duct.

You guys are awesome. My grandpa got 2 raccoons for the camping grounds he built and it's been generations of them living up there. Amazing animals. I love your videos.

I am watching this May 9, 2020. Different world. A year ago today, these people assumed today would be very similar, but raccoon free. Little did they know the plague was coming, and their US neighbors to the South would make it all so much worse. On behalf of all sane US citizens, I want to apologise. I want to apologise for all of the arrogant and/or ignorant people whom either let or made this happen. But, darn, I do love your company. Thank you for sharing.

Ready made den? Cool. What do you mean I can't live here?

She gave him a look as if to say, "Are you crazy putting a baby out on the exposed roof?"

I really appreciate how you take really good care of all the animals and you don't hurt them. Thats awesome! Keep up the great work!

Love how you humainly let them go with mother ...to set up shop in the neighbours house ...then u get your next job .....whose the smartest ..lol.well done. Best video on wildlife entrepreneur I've ever seen ....

Looks like they may have tried to chew up the lines that were inside the wall there.

Why were the raccoons not relocated to woods away from subdivision? Thanks for sharing.

AWH! You guys do such amazing work . I am a country girl , Having seen many of these Precious animals in their Natural habitat. It wasn't long ago that while sitting on my back porch, I heard a chattering noise. I was sitting with my cell phone watching a video when all of a sudden I felt a tugging on the blanket That was laying across my Lap. I turned my phone toward my legs and to my bewildered eyes I saw the largest raccoon I had ever seen in my life. Here was staring me Down as though I had taken over its home. I was unaware that there was an entrance underneath the porch that led underneath the mobile home. But why was this raccoon staring me down on top of the porch. Apparently the only Entrance was between the Top and 2nd steps. Which was a bout a foot from where I was sitting. With my bright Flashlight on my phone,I think she was blinded from seeing me. Come to find out she had been out with her babies and was on her way back in at about 4 o'clock in the morning which was the time of that I was sitting on the back porch. She had hid them in a lilac Bush at the corner of the house , and I was blocking The entrants for her in her babies to get back underneath the house safely. I will just say she was not very happy with me being where I was. She threw up her front claws and maliciously attacked the bottom of my blanket. All I could do to get her off of me was fling my feet out and she went flying into the yard. I felt so badd for her but my cell phone actually manage to fly into the yard with her. I did not know what to do, Except to go in the house and waited out until she got all of her babies Safely under the house. Needless to say I quit going out on the back porch for coffee in the morning when I wake up That early, lol. I think I would have been more terrified if I had not raised a baby raccoon when my children were small. The sweetest most friendly little creature I had ever met, UNTIL !!!!! The day that she took my son's baby bottle away from him. She had been raised on a baby bottle from time we had gotten her. Her mother had been killed on the highway and near our home. We knew that she had babies underneath the house and after she had not returned to care for them we knew that she was the one that had gotten hit. After she took the baby bottle from my son she curled up around his head and drank the bottle. I did not like the fact that she was beaming in his play pin, so I went to scoot her out , and she was not having it. She came up with front claws ready to go. I had never seen any aggression out of her at all until then. It was about that time she discovered how to open cabinet doors in the kitchen. She had Somehow figured out How to get out of her cage. She emptied a bag of flour a bag of sugar and a Box of corn starch all over the kitchen cabinets. Then tore into every Box of cereal I had. And I had 5 or 6 of them on top of my refrigerator that she totally obliterated.It got to the point she was uncontrollable. Even chasing me through the house one day out of anger because I made her get out of my closet.She chased me up on to the headboard of my waterbed as she stood in the middle of the mattress with her front legs up like she was going to attack me. This was 1991 And we did not have cell phones back then. The close phone to where I was located at that time was in the Kitchen. About 10' from where I was at at the time . While standing on the headboard of the bed, I reached over with my hand and opened the door that led from my bedroom back to the kitchen. I jumped down into the doorway and grab the door really fast and shut it therefore the raccoon could get out of the Room. Believe me I locked the door to that bedroom until my husband came home from work that day. Yeah hes the one they're brought in the baby raccoon to care for. Living in Arkansas there's not many places that will take I and wild animals that have been rescued. It's pretty much up to you to take care of them or let them die. I could never just let an animal die, but I was not gonna keep this raccoon in my house For one more day. Although we had many fun times with the baby Raccoon when it was little, When they are grown and get angry at you, They will attack you. Believe me by evening the raccoon was taken to a wildlife sanctuary because it was full grown at that time . Hopefully she found a beautiful tree to hide in and to make her home. Again thank you for the hard work that you do to make sure that these animals are rescued and place back with their mothers when at all possible. Take care and God-bless Deb

I really thought the man is Bruce Willis(actor) in this video . 브루스 윌리스 아닌가? ;;

Hey Gates. First of all, I have to say you have a great calm nature towards the animals. You do that really well with the raccoons. But I have a question: Is not it stressful for a raccoon mom to relocate to the fast 6 babies. As you can see in the video, there are not really many places there. I am aware that the habitat for raccoons in cities is severely limited but find a new place? Best regards

Great video and love the way the raccoon decided to live in the baby box. I’m from the Etobicoke - Lakeshore area. Do you guys do any outdoor raccoon work for repelling patio/lawn destruction and latrine sites?

Good job done there and nice strategy. Loved the way you did it.

So who repairs the walls? Or is that the owners problem?

Lol, that was kind of exactly how I imagine chonky Trash-Pandas - Oh - home is closed? Welp there is a new home right next to it - noooois...

Aw, poor thing. Those babies were too big for her to carry anywhere else. They’re just about big enough to follow her. Good thing she could stay for a bit until she figured it all out.

AWESOME. I knew you’d come across an opportunist.

Dang it! Two evictions in one week!

How do you fix the holes you make in the roof securing the box? Or do shingles self-heal small holes?

You guys are great. Thank you for the respectful work you do with the animals. ♡♡♡

I'd be scared cutting that drywall thinking Mom would jump out and rip my face off!!

o m g !! u r great sir , salute..........great job , thanx n good days ahead SIR. namashkar ( from NEPAL ).

The little guys are so cute!

Who is responsible for patching the holes created by rescuing the animals.

So do they fix the walls after carving into them or is it the owners problem? Does the business charge more to come back to fix something they had to get through to relocate an animal?

I was wondering whether that ever happened...where Mom just moved into your box. So cool.

I love your shows it’s great what you and your daughter does!!!

Wow, I first thought, they were dogs! OMG!

I love your videos, you and your mate are hard working people !

I have been watching your video reports for 3 days already, and I have been waiting for just such a result for a long time - so that the mother moved right into your box ))))

Seeing the wall with a cheap thermal camera would be a cool investment for your channel viewers. Will help locate more precisely also.

I Live french rivierra. I look your movies. Good Work. Its great. ☺

Serious question.. I rented a house a year ago. The landlord fed raccoons daily. When we moved in we continued to feed them. They had a bunch of babies and 30+ come every night. We are moving and landlord selling house. My question.. will they be okay if no one is feeding them? I’m praying they will have instinct to find food elsewhere and stop coming. Afraid they will starve or new people coming in will have them killed.

Why did you mount it on the roof instead of leaving them on the ground so she could grab then easier?

That momma raccoon was on guard

For smaller baby animals could you use a low suction vacuum with a hose?

Making this mama work hard from a high roof.

This was so kind and compassionate for you to allow the mama and babies to stay in your nest box, after the stress of just being evicted from their "home". I don't believe other companies or people would have been so kind-likely would've kicked her out immediately. Since she stayed in your box, it makes me worried that she didn't actually have a second nest site, or one that wasn't as good or protective as your nest box. It appears that the raccoons in your residential area don't have many places to go. Would it be possible to build nest boxes for raccoons like people do for bats? If you built nest boxes, and covered the box with camo contact sheets so its not an eye-sore, and put them in more natural areas such as trees or natural parks, could this help raccoons survive and raise their young? If the raccoons are given places were they can live, maybe they wouldn't be so desperate to break into homes. Maybe you could even make a business out of this, where you make these boxes and people could purchase them to help raccoons and other animals in their areas! These poor animals were forced out of their natural habitat by urbanization and now they are doing whatever they can to survive, it is only fair we help them survive with our urban jungles.

Momma raccoons like “ quit assuming I have 2 dens “

Mama's raccoon: look kids here is Bruce Willis :)

Can you share how much this service might cost?

*I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!* Thank you mama raccoon is smarter than most 😎

It’s like the got kicked out of daycare cause she was late lol poor babies

I think I know where Valve got the sound effects for the Antlion Grubs.

Were they relocated in another wall in the same house?

Funny and strange that Mom left the babies so quick.

I can tell your from the northern states, somewhere near Canada, you pronounce 'out' as "oot" !

Y'all are amazing.

there are some locations that it would seem to be easier for everyone to just let them leave on their own. Unless it's actually in the house why not let them have a tiny little space for a time?

Different species of raccoon? So much CALMER and LESS AGGRESSIVE than the others you have relocated. I'm accustomed to this type, not the aggressive ones that frighten people.

How in Lords name could someone give you a 👎 on this, Humans Amaze me, Good job My Friends 👍😎

Have you ever gotten a shock from any exposed, chewed wiring?

Great job

The raccoon sues for being evicted from her apartment without cause. " He threw me and my poor babies out into the cold street".

Have evicted momma from soffit in attic w cayote urine. But she went deeper in walls rather than leaving (Gaining access in roof soffit). Worried if I do the same to evict (And using male aggressive sounds on app) may make her go deeper in house rather than out? Wonder if she can carry kits out from roof (Guessing access is from downspot) . Any feedback for me? Thanks for video

I guess momma found the box to be a better home for her babies!!!!!!!! lol

That's ok, not making fun, just enjoying it !

You gave them a bad case of dandruff ! 😆

If the whole family of raccoons were in the box, why not remove them at that time and relocate them?

...relocated where? The back of the house? That’s what it seems like she would do.

What if their “other den site” is also compromised?

This is why RU-vid was invented

WHY wouldn't you just take the mom and her babies and then release them into the wild....instead you just let them go to "another den" aka your neighbors house. This gots to be one of the worst things you can do to your neighbors.

- 9:54 Yeah, they were all relocated to the attic 🙄🫣😂🫡

If homeowners kept their houses in good repair, there would not be a problem.

I was curious as to if a raccoon mother would make the box her temporary home. Doesn't seem like most do, but I guess there's a small percentage.

That’s moving quickly?

Hey guys, Does raccoon mom raise children alone without the male? And I never see the baby racoons poop in the videos. Does she clean (eat) the poop?

What did you do off-camera to the runt?

now she's going to relocate them to another house and they are gong to call these guys, and these guys are gonna get paid again :D

- 9:29 Mama is *PISSSSEDDD*

Dude, you should have locked her in. Just donate your box. Cover it with leaves and twigs. After relocating her to a nice area.

Don't hurt the raccoons ... All you have to do is set food out for them and they will come out .. and if they found their way into the wall it's because of decay , rooting wood , water damage , etc.. that creates an entry for critters. So , repair the issue.

Why not relocate the box with the mother and her babies and avoid the risk of climbing down off the roof with her babies for the mother?

Would it hurt this guy to take these things to the woods and off of the roof, coming back Monday????

She probably didn’t move bc she wasn’t expecting to have that many babies and that’s a shit ton of work to relocate them all one at a time. lol

She’s pissed 😤 🦝

Why not put the box on the ground?

That’s what I was wondering about. Why move out with free plush heated real estate.

Hahaha didnt move out ,but moved in!

Watch it!! Momma raccoon will get you. Them are her babies & she will protect them. They are so adorable.

Thank you for not separating the babies from the mommy!

Why don't you move them to the woods away from the houses

Aren't those guys strong

Scruffffffffed!!!!!

She was probably having difficulty getting her babies safely off the roof. Hence why she moved into the free real estate.

Ewwww they creep me out

So funny!! 😂😂

2:49 electric wires eaten by cubs?.. Raccoon family not without risk of fire in the house.

Save and let it go .... the job repeats forever

Squatters

MUI BIEN.
