Columbus's Best Raccoon Control: When dealing with wildlife in your home, you want a company like us that specializes in reptiles and mammals. We are not a pest control company or an exterminator. As such, we only handle wildlife, which allows us to focus our training, equipment, and methods. Our company has been the top metro area wildlife control company for three consecutive years. Don't put off dealing with your wildlife problem, as squirrels, bats, raccoons, raccoons, and other critters can leave urine or droppings in your attic, which can lead to odor problems and mold. We are proud to be the city's most effective company for rodent control. Some companies just temporarily solve your issues, but we get to the root of the problem. We take the time to identify entry holes and seal them closed, preventing future issues. By removing and preventing wildlife invaders, we protect your family from diseases and other risks that wildlife can bring. For example, rodents such as raccoons, mice, and squirrels frequently chew on your electrical wires, which can pose a fire risk. We work on residential and commercial properties of any size, with no job that is too large or small to take on. Our methods and sizeable team help us adapt to your needs.

We are Georgia's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Columbus raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Columbus pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
• If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
• Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
• When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation

Columbus Raccoon Control Tip: Should You Get A Raccoon As A Pet?
The trade in exotic pets is one that has been present for many decades and centuries, but over recent decades there are increasing numbers of people who want to have an alternative pet to the usual cat or dog. Raccoons are occasionally kept as pets by some people, but it is also true to say that the effort and commitment required if you do want to keep a raccoon as a pet can be significantly more than for a species that has been domesticated over centuries like cats and dogs.

Where Can You Buy A Pet Raccoon?
There are a number of specialist breeders and exotic pet specialists that will be able to source a juvenile raccoon that can be adopted as a pet, and when you are buying through a licensed breeder they should always provide evidence that the appropriate vaccinations and veterinary care has been given. It is also worth checking to make sure that you have a vet in your area that will be able to treat a raccoon should it become ill or injured, as some will generally avoid treating some exotic pets such as raccoons, as they can pose additional health risks.

Can You Domesticate An Orphaned Raccoon?
In short, no. If you do find an orphaned baby raccoon they will need specialist care in order to be able to survive, let alone actually thrive sufficiently to become juveniles and adult raccoons. This requires the very specialized knowledge of a wildlife rehabilitator, who will know how to help an orphaned raccoon. Any attempt to adopt an orphaned raccoon that you have found is likely to end up in heartbreak for you, as the raccoon is unlikely to be able to survive.

The Challenges Of Having A Raccoon Around The Home
One of the biggest problems that come with having a raccoon as a pet, even one that has been purchased through a breeder is that they are not naturally suited to living indoors, and it is difficult to train them to be more civilized around the home. Raccoons are curious and are likely to explore many parts of the home, from pulling and chewing electrical wires to making holes in walls and floors as they are more hard-wired for living outdoors, and even those who have relatively well-trained raccoons living in their home will admit that they aren't perfect pets.

Food And Toilet Habits
Another of the main challenges around keeping raccoons is that they are actually quite messy eaters. Their natural instincts is to douse all of their food in water before eating it, so they will often splash water around much of their eating area, while they can also share the trait of stealing food, although that is common in many pet species. Toilet training raccoons is another challenge for those who are keeping a raccoon as a pet, as they are not particularly well adapted to learning not to leave their droppings around the home, or urinating where they choose.

How Do They Compare To Other Domestic Pets?
Although many pets can be quite challenging to train, raccoons are a whole lot more difficult as many of their behaviors will be that of a wild animal, whereas cats and dogs will have the learned genetic behaviors of generations of domesticated animals. Ultimately, you should always think very carefully before even exploring the possibilities of buying a raccoon as a pet, as it is a very big commitment, and in truth there are plenty of wonderful cats and dogs around the animal homes across the country that would be much better suited to a loving home.
