The Risks of DIY Raccoon Removal
While it may be tempting to handle raccoon removal on your own, there are significant risks involved. Attempting DIY methods can be dangerous for both you and the animals. Here’s why professional raccoon removal is the safer and more effective option:
Health Hazards
Raccoons can carry a variety of diseases, including rabies, which can be transmitted through bites or scratches. Handling raccoons without proper protection can expose you to these health risks. In addition, raccoon droppings can contain harmful parasites and bacteria, leading to illness. Professionals are trained to handle these situations safely and use appropriate protective gear.
Physical Harm
Raccoons can be aggressive, especially when they feel threatened or are protecting their young. Attempting to trap or remove raccoons yourself can result in bites or scratches, leading to potential infections and the need for medical attention. Professional raccoon removal services ensure that trained experts handle the animals safely and humanely.
Improper Removal Techniques
Using the wrong removal techniques can cause unnecessary stress or harm to the raccoons. In addition, improper trapping methods can result in the accidental capture of other animals, such as squirrels or birds. Professionals use humane and effective trapping methods that minimize stress to the animals and ensure their safe relocation like we describe on our squirrel removal page.
Legal Issues
In Philadelphia and throughout Pennsylvania, there may be regulations regarding the trapping and relocation of wildlife. Attempting to remove raccoons yourself without proper permits can result in fines or legal penalties. Professional pest control companies are knowledgeable about local regulations and ensure that all removal activities are conducted legally and ethically.
