Photo Album: How to Safely Remove a Raccoon from the Attic in Matawan, NJ
A raccoon had gained access to this home through the attic fan.
Around the Attic Fan
Since the raccoon had entered the home via the attic fan, we installed a temporary attic fan cover...
Attach a Positive Set
... and attached a two-gaited, heavy-duty device to it.
No Other Choice
The raccoon will have no other way to exit the area, except through our device, which will safely retrieve the raccoon. We also placed several baited traps nearby.
Sturdy Solution
Once we safely retrieve the raccoon, we will relocate it to a new humane environment, disinfect the attic area, and install an attic fan cover to this area as well as all the static vents on the home. The attic fan cover is made of heavy-duty 18 Gauge expanded Galvannealed steel mesh and will prevent raccoons as well as all nuisance wildlife from gaining access into the home.
