Nevada is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Boulder City wildlife control services if you want to solve a critter problem legally and correctly. For example, we specialize in animals in the attic, which have broken into the house and almost always have a nest of baby animals. It is necessary to perform correct preventative repairs to keep pest animals a out of your house for good. We perform full building inspection, do the the repairs and we also offer attic decontamination if necessary. Rats and mice love to live in attics, and can chew wires or leave droppings. Some Boulder City animals frequently enter homes, and correct removal is not a simple task.

DOG or CAT: If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Clark County Animal Control for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, lost pets, and more. If you have a wildlife problem, you can try calling the Clark County animal control, and see what they have to say, but they will certainly not help you with a complex wildlife problem such as critters in your attic. They are a free government agency that helps with dog and cat issues only.

Boulder City Wildlife Tip:

When raccoon prevention methods prove insufficient and these resourceful animals become a nuisance, trapping might seem like a viable solution. However, it's crucial to approach raccoon trapping responsibly and humanely, while also being aware of local regulations regarding wildlife trapping and relocation. This article provides an overview of raccoon trapping techniques, discussing trap types, bait selection, and effective methods.

Understanding Local Regulations

Before setting any traps, it is imperative to check with your local animal control, wildlife agencies, or homeowner's association about the legality of trapping and relocating raccoons in your area. Some regions may require permits, specify allowable trap types, or restrict relocation practices. Understanding these regulations will ensure you are operating within the law and avoiding potential penalties.

Choosing the Right Trap Type

The most common and humane type of trap for raccoons is a live cage trap. These traps are designed to capture the animal without causing serious injury. They typically feature a trigger mechanism that closes a door when the raccoon enters the cage to reach the bait.

• Single-Door Traps: These traps have one entry point and are suitable for general trapping.
• Double-Door Traps: With doors at both ends, these traps can be more appealing to raccoons as they offer a perceived escape route, often leading to quicker entry.
• Trap Size: Select a trap that is appropriately sized for a raccoon, typically around 32-40 inches long, 10-12 inches wide, and 12-15 inches high. A trap that is too small will be inhumane, while one that is too large may not trigger effectively.

Selecting Effective Bait

Raccoons are omnivores with a sweet tooth, making sweet and fatty foods effective baits. However, their opportunistic nature means they can be attracted to various items.

• Sweet Baits: Marshmallows, grapes, peanut butter (on crackers or bread), and fruit (like apples or melon) are often highly effective.
• Fatty Baits: Canned sardines or tuna (punctured to release the scent), bacon, or even dry cat food can also be appealing.
• Placement: Place the bait at the very back of the trap to encourage the raccoon to fully enter and trigger the mechanism.

Setting the Trap Effectively

Proper trap placement and setup are crucial for successful and humane capture.

• Location: Identify areas where you have observed raccoon activity, such as near garbage cans, gardens, or entry points to your home. Place the trap on a level surface in a shaded or sheltered area to protect the captured animal from the elements.
• Preparation: Secure the trap doors in the open position according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the trigger mechanism is sensitive but not so light that it will be set off by wind or other disturbances.
• Camouflage (Optional): While not always necessary, you can lightly camouflage the trap with natural materials like leaves or twigs to make it appear less threatening. Avoid obstructing the trap doors or trigger mechanism.
• Scent Masking: Wear gloves when handling the trap and bait to minimize leaving your scent, which could deter raccoons.

Monitoring the Trap and Handling Capture

Once the trap is set, it is essential to check it frequently, ideally at least twice a day. This minimizes the amount of time an animal spends confined.

• Humane Handling: If you capture a raccoon (or any other animal), approach the trap calmly and cautiously. Avoid making loud noises or sudden movements that could stress the animal.
• Relocation (If Permitted): If local regulations allow relocation and you intend to do so, transport the trapped raccoon in the covered trap to a suitable release location at least 5-10 miles away from your property in a similar habitat. Avoid direct contact with the animal.
• Alternative Solutions: Consider contacting your local animal control or a wildlife removal professional to handle the trapping and relocation process, especially if you are uncomfortable doing so yourself.

Important Considerations

• Non-Target Animals: Be aware that you may unintentionally trap other animals. Check the trap frequently and release any non-target species immediately and unharmed.
• Mother Raccoons and Kits: During spring and summer, be cautious about trapping a mother raccoon, as she may have dependent young nearby. Trapping and relocating the mother will likely lead to the starvation of her kits. If you suspect a mother and her young are present, consider waiting until the young are mobile before attempting to trap.
• Long-Term Solutions: Remember that trapping is often a temporary solution. Addressing the underlying reasons why raccoons are attracted to your property (food sources, access to shelter) is crucial for long-term prevention.

Trapping raccoons requires careful planning, adherence to local regulations, and a commitment to humane practices. By understanding the appropriate trap types, effective bait, and proper methods, you can increase your chances of safely and successfully removing unwanted raccoons from your property. However, always prioritize prevention and consider seeking professional assistance when needed.
