It's hard but necessary work. |

Customer Raccoon Email: That's more like it, David - diversify - and yes, farm folk do need raccoons taken out of barns - as they do pigeons - two carriers of disease. You need to put up an add in Tractor Supply Co. (TSC) stores which
cater to farm folk. You also need to be sure your local DNR has your name/brochures - often people call them with animal issues.. Be sure you use appropriate 'key words' for search enjins to use so people can find your blog.. Distribute personally,
pamphlets to ravine area neighbourhgoods where you know raccoons are an issue, and leave both a brochure and a card. Try to get a local newspaper and perhaps a radio station to give you a feature to give you exposure for what you do - that's the best advertising going, next to word-of-mouth - and it's all free!
I was both a licenced trapper here and trapped most species, and also the nuisance and probem animals in urban settings, especially during the non-trapping season. You can sell fur through North American Fur Auctions (NAFA) who are formerly Hudson's Bay Co, and they have a web site. Of course, fall/winter pelts fetch the highest dollar value for propely prepared pelts.
My Answer: Thanks for the tips! Those search enjins are okay for getting customers, but I like your Tractor Supply ad suggestion even better!

The raccoon (Procyon lotor), is a common urban animal, and native to North America. Raccoons are easy to recognize, with a black mask and ringed tail, as seen in the above photo.
Raccoons tend to weigh between 10-20 pounds as adults, and live an average of 5 years. They are mostly nocturnal, and are omnivores, and will often eat pet food or garbage. They have
become very acclimated to living in cities and urban areas. They are very strong, excellent climbers, very intelligent, and they are very skilled with their hands, which causes them to
commonly break into homes and attics, where they cause considerable damage, and they also destroy other property, and thus raccoons
are considered pest animals by many people, which is why I remove them. If you want to learn more, please read my How To Get Rid of Raccoons page.
AAAnimal Control is a privately owned wildlife removal and pest control business, located in Orlando Florida. I deal strictly with wild animals. I am not an extermination company, but a critter removal
and control specialist. The above photos are some of the many that I've taken in the field over my years of work. Please email me if
you have any questions about the above photographs, or any questions about
wildlife problems or raccoon control issues.
