LATRINE SERVICES
Raccoon latrine specialists. Call us today for a free quote.
We contain, remove, and sanitize any latrine sites that you are having issues with. We treat for roundworm parasites, apply viricide & biocidal treatments, and we provide deodorizing services. We do demolition of contaminated building materials as required, replacement of those materials, and removal of refuse.
As a last resort, we offer live trapping & removal services for raccoons that are overly dedicated to their latrine sites. Since raccoons teach each other their habits across generations, some behaviours will be repeated for years. Sometimes it is best to remove the behaviour from the physical location by trapping the guilty individuals.
Once they are gone, we address the root cause of that behaviour, and when the next group inevitably moves in they will establish new behaviours within a new environmental context.
Types of Latrines
We categorize raccoon latrines into 2 main usage types: "the en-suite bathroom" and "the territory marker". Strategies to prevent these latrine types will differ, based on the underlying behavioural psychology of the latrine site.
Why This Location?
Latrines are established in specific locations, influenced by a variety of psychological and behavioural factors. The more obvious and elevated ones are usually territory markers, placed near high-quality food sources, for example.
Why Do They Keep Returning?
Areas with a high density of raccoons will experience much bolder and more tenacious latrine maintenance. This is how their group communicates their territory claims to other raccoon groups.
