Entering Through the Attic Fan
The raccoon was able to gain access into the attic through the attic fan!
We're Staying Positive
To safely retrieve the raccoon, we installed a positive set directly over the access point as well as set up several baited devices nearby. A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will safely guide the raccoon into the device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the raccoon will enter the device. A short while later, we safely retrieved the raccoon, and relocated it to new humane environment.
Attic Fan Cover
To prevent any future nuisance wildlife infestations, we installed a sturdy attic fan cover.
Excludes all Nuisance Wildlife
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 via the attic fan.
