Photo Album: Face-to-Face with a Raccoon in Freehold, NJ
Yup, this homeowner has a raccoon in his attic!
Confirmed
Yup, that is certainly a raccoon!
The Set-Up
We installed a Comstock device in front of the main access point, enclosed the area off temporarily with hardware cloth, and set up several baited devices nearby.
Comstock Device
A Comstock device is a heavy-duty, two-gaited device with a wire trigger made out of galvanized wire mesh.
Shortly After
Once we safely remove the raccoon, we will relocate it to a new, humane location, disinfect the attic area, and seal up the access point with sturdy metal flashing.
