How I Got Rid of a Raccoon - Raccoon Removal DIY

I CAUGHT A RACCOON - NOW WHAT?
This raccoon took up residence in my shed which is very near my chicken coop.
I got rid of the raccoon humanely by removing him from the shed with a leash and letting him go.
He was not very happy about the whole situation so I hope that the trauma from the experience will deter him from coming back.
The next time I see him, I think it will have to be a permanent removal.
Getting this close to a wild animal is dangerous. You never know what they could do or what disease they could carry. Do not attempt this yourself. Call a professional animal control specialist. OR use a live trap to relocate.

Do you mind if I kill it ?
Congratulations on 1000 subs! You did handle the situation very well. I would not have that patience!!! At that point, the worst thing that could have happened is that you loose your grip on that strap and he goes back in nature with the strap around his neck... Thanks!

Racoons just want to survive.
I had a raccoon family in my attic. The attic has many corners beyond reach and not visible. Searched on the web and found the ammonia treatment. Got two bottles from Walmart and throw a few tennis 🎾 balls soaked with ammonia and the raccoon family gone. Cost $2.51.

Really? Interesting. I've had four 1-year olds removed but momma is scratching around and we are literally planning on doing something more (than trapping) if she is still here on Friday (today is Wednesday 5.12.21). Thanks for the idea.

What kind of "ammonia" did you use? I'm having this problem now in my attic! We spent $ on pest control to come trap them but they left 1 trap at like 5pm and came back the next day around noon. And took the trap away and closed the hole... I thought it was pretty fast of them and that they didn't really care about our situation. And needless to say, the raccoons are back. We've seen 4 at once, and I heard more up there at that time, so I know we have/had at least 5 or 6 up there. Plus I hear them IN THE WALLS! That's so creepy!!!! So what ammoina did you get and use at Walmart!?

Are they gone forever or did they return?
Raccoon have been known to attack people. The raccoons seek a secure space during the day, a shed , a bush, under a porch, any little cubby hole.
You’re brave to reach down to remove that leash! I’m so used to possums being here; they are very skittish but when I try to chase this raccoon off that just started coming around, it wasn’t scared of me at all. I thought it was gone and so I started to go check the cat food in the bowl and saw that it was only about 3 feet from me...I got scared and turned around to run back to the porch and fell going up the steps. Scraped and bruised, I guess my screaming crying and cussing finally scared him away! But not for long he was back the next night and I’m having trouble getting him to stay gone. I do feel sorry for them because their habitat has been destroyed here in town and they really have no place to go. But I can’t have rabies vector animals and last spring we had raccoons AND skunks.

Wow Marcy hope you're alright from that encounter. He's probably coming around looking for food and if the cat's food is accessible he'll keep coming back. Maybe there is a way to put the cat dish out of his reach?
Thank you! I love this video

I got two living in my barn and they don’t care if I walk right up to them and I just went upstairs a little while ago and I seen them rolling a door knob back-and-forth like a ball and they both look at me and they continue to roll back-and-forth
hahahahahahha! Why are you evicting this adorable Racoon.
aww they are so cute but they are such pains! They started using my raised bed as a latrine (which i have netting over to keep out the local cats from using as a litter box) & i'm just so grossed out & overwhelmed & frustrated....yuck! You are so kind & patient with that little guy... :) i hope he valued his second chance & your mercy ;)

Cool video thank u❤
Obviously that guy does not know how to walk on a leash. I have seen videos of pet raccoons with a cat harness walking on a leash, so they can learn to do it.
Where do you live ? The snow looks beautiful......not too much, not too little. Reminds me of the time I was living in Blue Ash, Ohio. Beautiful winters ❤

Yes they are cute but they love chickens and if they should get into your attic... yikes!
They aren’t adorable. They are destructive and carry numerous diseases.
Man.....I was feeding a possum that kept coming around at night. Early last week a racoon showed up. So...I fed him. He came back the next night and I fed him again. By the 3rd night he was taking the food from my hand. Last night there were 2 of them. So....I guess I shouldn't have fed him in the first place. Now, I need to get rid of them both. The new one was still afraid of me... but not the first one. I have no other pets so I guess I'll just ignore them and they'll eventually go away. I HOPE.

All i know that darn racoon is very very lucky. If it was me his ass would be grass
Instead of killing that raccoon just do what I did. Buy a live trap and bait it with peanut butter, marshmallows and part of a cut up birdseed stick. Once you have him, drive him to a new home many miles away. If I can do this 6 times to 6 different raccoons, so can you. I think I'm slightly older than you are. I'm a 70 year old woman.
Humane but unless you physically relocate him 50 miles away,he will return. We've been dealing with a huge raccoon problem for 3 yrs,thanks to nasty neighbors who trashed their house,yard,shed etc then abandoned the property to foreclose. Have spent $$$$ on removal,Fox urine,you name it. Now there is rabies over there and the owners LoanCare LLC continue to do nothing. Although we are in the city limits the health dept,animal control etc leave it as well. Good luck
