Wildlife Removal Photo Album: A Raccoon Rips a Hole in the Roof in Brielle, NJ
Torn Into the Roof
As you can see, the raccoon had torn a hole right into the roof to gain access into the attic!
How'd We Know It Was a Raccoon
How did we know it was a raccoon? We found raccoon paw prints on the roof as well as its hair stuck in the opening.
Installed a Positive Set
To safely retrieve the raccoon, we installed a positive set directly over the access point as well as set up several baited devices nearby.
A Positive Set?
A positive set is comprised of a nose cone that is attached to a two-gaited, heavy-duty device. The nose cone will safely guide the raccoon into the device. It's called a positive set, because we are positive that the raccoon will enter the device.
Retrieved and Sealed Up
A short while later, we safely retrieved the raccoon, and relocated it to new humane environment. As a temporary solution until a roofer can come out and repair the damage, we installed sturdy metal flashing over the access point to prevent reinfestation.
