Wildlife relocation is not the answer and it’s especially harmful at this time of year #wildlife

[00:00:00]We arrived on this job site and the customer has hired her lawn care company to try to solve her raccoon problem. And this is the difference between professionals doing wildlife control and people that just really don't understand what it takes. So, this individual has set a trap up on the roof, tied the trap to the two roof fence, and you can see where it's attached at the front here. The idea was the raccoon would come out of the hole, go into the trap and and eat this lovely meal at the back, which looks like a roast beef sandwich, which is pretty good on fine china. And what would ultimately happen here is the raccoon would get caught, struggle like heck to get out. These weak pieces of string would break and the raccoon would have a horrible time falling off the roof and landing on that cement patio. Chances are it would be badly injured as a result. And at this time of year, trapping and relocating isn't a good idea anyways because often you're leaving babies behind in the attic, taking mom many miles away, and the babies simply die of starvation without her. So hire a professional um that's going to deal with this problem properly and be conscious of the fact that there are babies and take out the mother humanely. Wait.
