WILDLIFE Trapping & Removal Services
Call us today for a consultation. Our specialty is raccoon behaviour.
Occasionally, you find a group of raccoons who are overly determined to maintain their latrine site. They will repeatedly test, figure out, and bypass most prevention systems. These highly intelligent animals have the ability to solve multi-step puzzles, and can teach the solutions to each other.
This feature of the raccoons can create a sort "generational memory" where they teach and pass along latrine behaviours. We have helped clients who have been dealing with the same behavioural patterns for over 7 years.
To offer a solution, we have live trapping services. This is the behavioural reset button for your yard's latrine problems.
When Prevention Is Not Enough:
Most raccoons seek an easier life once the climb path is blocked and the food source is locked down. Unfortunately, a few will stay to test every gap and pull every spike. When they find any weakness, they will teach their group the exploit. These are the animals trapping is for - the ones that decided that latrine site is theirs, no matter what you do.
Why The Same Latrine Lasts For Years:
Raccoons pass successful routes, dens, and latrine sites to the next generation. A kit that watched its parent use your balcony as a latrine will likely do so next season. That is why some properties stay in the same pattern for years, even after cleanups - the behaviour was taught, not just discovered.
What The Trap Actually Resets:
Live trapping removes the animals that know your yard, and have the memory of whatever attracted them in the first place. Once those raccoons are gone, the barriers, deterrents, and attractant work will have a chance to hold back any migrating groups, who will eventually move into the area behind the previous raccoons.
