Raccoon Information

Our Trapping Method

Our raccoon trapping methods reduce the time needed for our skunk trappers to remove the animals, targets only the animals that are the problem and ensures they're all gone.   We build custom trap sets around the animals entry point or burrow entrance for raccoon removal. Using cameras and other methods, we verify all raccoons have been removed before closing up.
 In the case of a raccoons removal, there can be 2- 6 animals that will need to be removed.  Our trapping methods can often remove all of these animals in 1-3 nights, and they will never leave the trapping area. 
Most other Companies use bait trapping when raccoon trapping. With bait trapping it is very possibly you will not catch them all if any and it can take upwards of two weeks to do so if you do. During this time, those animals will still be roaming your property and causing damages to your home.

​
Distribution:
Common throughout the state.

Habitat:
Raccoons occur in nearly all types of habitat. They are most abundant in suburban areas and those with about equal parts of cropland and woodland.
 Raccoons are mostly nocturnal. During most of the year, adult males occupy an area about I mile in diameter. Adult females and their young live in a smaller area, usually 3/4 of a mile in diameter. An area used by one raccoon can overlap that of another. Densities of 9-45 raccoons per square mile are common in Illinois. 

Reproduction:
Breeding peaks in February, but can occur from January through March. One litter of 3-4 pups is typical. Most are born in April or early May, but a few arrive as late as August.

Diseases:
Distemper is common in raccoons,  with 20-30%  exposed to this disease at some point in their lives. Distemper does not affect humans, but can be passed on to domestic dogs and other kinds of wildlife.
Leptospirosis affects nearly 50% of raccoons at some point in their lives. Humans can get this disease from coming in contact with infected urine or contaminated  water. Flu-like symptoms are most common, but jaundice, kidney failure and death can occur in severe cases.
Raccoon roundworms are common parasites, affecting about 70% of juveniles and 30% of adults. Roundworm infections cause few problems for raccoons, but can lead to serious ones in humans, including, in rare cases, partial blindness and death.

Conservation:
Raccoons are popular animals because they're common and often entertaining. However, they can cause problems, especially where they occur in large numbers or close to people. Concerns include the spread of diseases and parasites, damage to crops and homes, and predation on other kinds of wildlife. Hunting and trapping can help to reduce these problems, especially in  rural areas. Dens are found in tree cavities, burrows excavated and abandoned by other animals, hay stacks, storm sewers, old buildings and even attics. Raccoons do not hibernate, but they sometimes stay in their dens for several  days during periods of extreme cold or deep snowfall.  Areas frequented by raccoons at any given time tend to be those with the most abundant and reliable food sources - this might be a pond, stream or river, corn field, silo or a grove of oak, pecan or persimmon trees.
