Raccoon Trapping, Removal and Control - MI
Raccoon — Procyon lotor.
Perhaps Mother Nature’s most adorable muggers and found throughout Michigan, these medium-sized four legged mammals are natural bandits, as befitting a critter that uses a black mask and adorable antics to conceal an uncanny knack for becoming a nuisance in Oakland County neighborhoods.
Ranging in weight from 12 to 35 pounds, raccoons have masked faces and bushy ringed tails. Nocturnal by nature, they will never-the-less make occasional forays into the daylight, raiding an available garbage can or otherwise intruding in our lifestyles.
Delightful to observe in Oakland County's natural settings, due to their playful attitude and an endless foraging for food and man-made treasures. Raccoons present a real threat when they cross over into our world. They can carry numerous infectious diseases like rabies, along with fleas, ticks and lice, not to mention mange, encephalitis, histoplasmosis, tuberculosis, roundworms, and canine distemper. Many of these conditions can be readily transferred to children and family pets alike. For these reasons and many more, raccoon control should be left to our animal control professionals.
Raccoons have a very diverse diet, and will gladly eat anything from fruits, berries, amphibians, eggs, and insects. In the wild, raccoons typically nest in hollow logs, tall trees or abandoned tunnels. When they leave their natural environment, the issues really arise. Try waking up one morning to discover your garbage cans raided, and you will probably guess on the suspect. Urban raccoons cause the bulk of homeownership woes, since they frequently find our homes very accommodating. They’re often found living comfortably in some of Oakland County's finest attics, walls, chimneys and under decks. Raccoons don’t hibernate, choosing instead to remain active all year long. They are, however, less active in Michigan's colder months.
