Wildlife Removal - A real cutey. Captured raccoon in Manahawkin

But the day wasn't over. I still needed to inspect the attic and solve the mystery of how the raccoon babies managed to end up all the way down the duct next to the dryer. I immediately saw that the box that connects all the ducts to the static vent had been disconnected. In all likelihood, the box could not support the weight of the mother raccoon and her babies inside it. The box tipped over and the babies rolled down the duct like a waterslide at Runaway Rapids in Keansburg! It was a good thing I did this final inspection. I heard one last baby crying. Fortunately, I was able to extract the little critter without any problem and reunited it with its mom, placing the baby in the same trap (see photo).
This adrenaline-filled raccoon job took less than an hour from start to finish. Also, I set my new personal record trapping by a raccoon within a couple of minutes of setting the trap. Speed dating is a popular event for singles at the Jersey Shore. Now, after this job, maybe Cowleys should start a new event for just for raccoons - speed trapping!
