Raccoons living in your house? Call Critter Getter

By

I am currently in escrow with out-of-state Buyers. The property that they are purchasing is located in a newer, established neighborhood. The house is vacant but, has only been vacant a short while and if you visited this home you wouldn't suspect a thing. I have been to the house at least 4 or 5 times!

Evidently, a mama racoon also decided that this was a good home for her to raise her 4 new babies! So, she moved on in!

Aren't they sweet?

 

I have always known that there are lots of racoons in the area but, this is my first experience since I have been in business.  Glad that Critter Getter saved the day. See note from his log: 


 

Per Critter Getter, as of Sunday 3:28pm:  “I'll be out at the property tonight (Sunday 5 June) to do a manual "lockout" between approx. 9:00-11:00pm.  At that time I will enter the residence, cut an access into the ceiling, retrieve the kits and present them to the adult raccoon outside of the structure. I'll return tomorrow morning (Monday 6 June) to be sure all kits have been taken.  Any remaining kits will be surrendered to the Wildlife Center at SPCA.”

They are certainly cute in some tree or wherever racoons generally live but not in a vacant house- cute photo though!

Good morning. I have been using the same company for many years, as I run into critters all the time when we purchase properties to flip.

I have ot heard of this company.  But if you use them and Joe uses them, they must be a national franchise, I will check them out.
