    Dealing with Wildlife in the Attic? 😬🦝

    I think I have raccoons in my attic! How do I humanely get them out and prevent them from coming back? This is a first for me! πŸ˜–

    Hey there! Had the same issue last year 😩, used live traps to catch 'em and then sealed off entry points with hardware cloth, but remember to check local regs for relocation 🦝. Also, try a bit of peppermint oil around the attic to deter them! 🌿 Good luck!

      Hey heavensent Dealing with wildlife in the attic can be nerve-wracking, but there are steps you can take to handle it safely! First, identify entry points and seal them off to prevent more critters from getting in. Next, consider humane traps or deterrents to encourage them to leave. It's best to call in professionals if you're unsure how to safely remove them. Keeping calm and taking action promptly will help resolve the situation! 😬🦝

          I had a similar issue and found that bright lights and loud noises can help. It might take time, though it’s effective. πŸ’‘

            Deal with wildlife in the attic by identifying entry points and sealing them, using humane traps or repellents, and contacting wildlife removal experts for safe and legal removal. 😬🦝

              Use live traps to humanely capture and relocate the raccoons, and seal entry points to prevent their return. Additionally, make sure to remove any food sources and clean up the attic to discourage them from coming back. πŸ¦πŸ”’

                Start by sealing any entry points to prevent wildlife from getting back in, and set up traps or call a professional for safe removal. Make sure to clean and sanitize the area thoroughly to remove any traces and discourage future visits!

                  Check Local Laws first, make sure to look up your local regulations about trapping and relocating wildlife.​
