This weekend Animal Capture Wildlife Control was called out to Long Beach for a raccoon removal. When I arrived the homeowner stated they had been hearing the raccoons in the wall. Sure enough, there was a family of raccoons in the attic/wall. I set up a trap for the mother raccoon and trapped her right away. I then came out to remove the babies from the attic. The homeowner said they do not have a crawlspace, so I had to tear into the attic. I climbed through a twofoot by three foot square where I tore the wood vent off and went in head first. I then climbed all the way in to find they were in a drop down area and I had no access to reach the baby raccoons. I then told the homeowner I would have to cut a hole in the sheet rock. I was hearing one raccoon in the wall making a lot of noise next to what used to be a electrical switch. I opened the cover and there was a baby raccoon right there. I got a hold of his back legs and pulled one through at a time. It was a really really tight squeeze. It was like the wall was giving birth. I then had to turn his body and pull him out to his shoulders and pull one leg out at a time. Then I had to twist the body and pull his head through. I did NOT want to hurt the animal, I would have cut a hole if I felt the animal would not make it through the hole. The animal slipped out of the hole and immediately started growling and yelling. He was probably happy to be out of the wall. Then I went to cut the hole in the sheet rock to remove the rest of the babies. I cut the hole in the sheet rock to find four more babies in the nest. I just reached in and grabbed them and put them in a trap. The homeowner thought this whole process was crazy! She also thought I was crazy how I just grabbed the baby raccoons and removed them from the wall. In all I removed the mother raccoon and five babies. I then released the mother raccoon and babies into the wild.
