We are Ohio's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Cleveland raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Cleveland pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
• If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
• Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
• When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation

Cleveland Raccoon Control Tip: What Should You Do If You Find An Orphaned Baby Raccoon?
For the majority of people, compassion is in their nature, and seeing an animal in distress or in a difficult situation will give them a natural instinct to want to help. Finding an orphaned raccoon is one of these situations, and seeing the helpless animal wandering or apparently orphaned can lead to people trying to take action to help. If you do want to do this, make sure you take the appropriate precautions before moving any wild animal, and try to avoid some of the common mistakes that many people can make in this type of situation.

Ensuring It Isn't Simply Lost From Its Mother
Simply seeing a baby raccoon wandering without its mother can lead to people jumping to an assumption that the animal is actually orphaned, but in some cases it may have simply escaped the nest or dropped from a nest while the female was foraging for food. For this reason, unless it is clear from the presence of the carcass of an adult female nearby, it is usually best to hold back and monitor the situation of the animal for some time before you decide to move the baby raccoon. If after an hour the female hasn't come to recover her baby, then you can be fairly confident that the baby actually has been orphaned.

Moving A Baby Raccoon Safely
When dealing with any wildlife it is always important to take the important precautions that will help look after your health, as there have been cases of people trying to help wild animals but actually catching some serious diseases. For this part of the process, make sure you are wearing thick gloves and long sleeved clothing, as you do not want a bite or scratch from the animal. You should then gently transfer the baby raccoon into a box that you can use to transport the animal, preferably lined with a soft towel, and you may also want to put a warm heating pad at the bottom of the box to keep the raccoon warm.

Should You Feed A Baby Raccoon Or Give It Water?
Unless you are an expert in wild animal rehabilitation, it is best to avoid trying to feed the raccoon, as the vast majority of food that is commonly available in the domestic property is unsuitable for consumption by a baby raccoon. The biggest concern for the rescued baby raccoon will be dehydration, so for this gently warmed water can be used, rather than cold water. You can also add a small amount of salt or sugar to the water to help them to recover. If it becomes apparent that you may have the baby raccoon for several days, then in some cases puppy or kitten milk replacement can be used, although you should check this with the wildlife rehabilitator first.

Getting The Baby Raccoon To A Wildlife Rehabber
Once you have taken the baby raccoon to a safe location, the most important next step is to get in touch with a wildlife rehabilitator as soon as possible, so that they can provide the specialist help the animal will need. Finding a rehabber is usually quite straightforward, as your local veterinarian or animal services departments will often have contacts in this area, while many can also be discovered online too. In terms of transporting the animal, you should preferably transport the baby raccoon on the back of a truck, but in the trunk of a car can also be suitable, just make sure the box is suitably propped so that it doesn't slip around too much during the journey.
