Baby Season for raccoons occurs in the spring, typically April through May. If you are dealing with a raccoon on your property during this time, there is a good chance it has babies hidden away within your home, in the attic or sometimes within your walls. Raccoon babies (known as ‘kits’) are born immobile and without fur. For the first 8 weeks of their lives, they cannot move on their own and the only way to remove them from an attic is by hand. By using the proper exclusion techniques, we can humanely keep mothers with their babies while providing our customers with a safe and permanent solution that doesn’t involve traps or poison.

Following the attic inspection, we will determine where the kits are located, and proceed to humanely remove them from the area. During the service the kits are removed from the den site, placed inside of a warming box that is then secured near the entry point. The goal of this is not to separate mother from her babies, but rather to keep the babies close to where the mother left them. At that point the mother raccoon will come and remove each kit 1-by-1 and relocate them to another den site in the area. We will then continue to seal up any weak spots on the home to ensure full prevention of future intruders!
