RACCOON
When you spot a raccoon along the side of the road or while walking at night, they may seem innocent, almost making you want to adopt one as a pet. However, when they raid your garbage cans for food, you'll likely wake up the next morning wishing they were 100 kilometers away. Raccoons can also gain access to chimneys, attics, basements, or crawl spaces.

What does our professional service do?
Many people use cages to catch raccoons and release them nearby. While their intentions are good, these highly intelligent creatures often find their way back. Our pest control service prioritizes animal welfare, capturing and releasing raccoons in areas far from your home, where they can live in the wild as they should.
​
When you contact us, we’ll provide a professional, long-term solution. We have all the necessary equipment to address your raccoon problem for good. In addition to capturing and releasing raccoons, we’ll also reinforce your home to prevent them—and other animals—from returning.

Reproductive cycle of raccoons
Raccoons have one litter per year, typically in the spring, with an average of 2 to 8 babies. The gestation period lasts 63 days.
​
Habitat
Raccoons are commonly found near marshes, streams, lakes, or ponds, and they prefer trees or brush for cover. They don’t dig their own dens, instead opting for hollow logs, tree cavities, and other natural shelters. Occasionally, they use rock dens, abandoned burrows of other animals, or even the interiors of farm machinery.
​
Diet
The raccoon is omnivorous, feeding on fish, frogs, small mammals, birds and their eggs, mollusks, crustaceans, fruits, nuts, as well as small grains and stored corn.
Ability
The slender toes on its front feet are highly dexterous, allowing it to grasp small objects and search for food. The broader surfaces of its hind feet help it maintain balance with ease.
