Removing Raccoons from the Attic: Seal Entry After They Leave, Check for Babies

Eviction Procedure

1. Wait 1‑2 hours after dark (raccoons leave to forage).
2. Securely seal the entry with heavy‑gauge wire mesh.
3. Check for babies; if present, remove them by hand (wear gloves) before sealing.

Prevent Re‑Entry

Install electronic deterrents around the house exterior (see DC Jincks’ site) to discourage raccoons from approaching.
