Raccoon birthing season always proves challenging. Normally, we can quickly catch the mother on her way out of the house to forage. The kits can be more difficult to capture. The younger kits tend to stay near the den which can be tucked away in the attic or down the walls. It can be impossible for us to reach them. Safely removing the kits usually requires cutting in the soffits or ceilings.

It took over six hours to remove these four kits from the subfloor. Every time we cut they would relocate! In the end, we were able to reunite the mother with her babies for relocation.
