West Palm Beach Rodent Removal - trapping & control

how to get out and remove rodents from your house attic - Miami / Boca Raton

Rodent Removal. The page here uses the term rodent for raccoon.  This was done for reasons of helping customers find our websites.   *Raccoons are not rodents.  This means their damage may be covered by your home owner's insurance. Rodents are trapped to stop the damage they cause in the attic or outside on the property. These animals are well known carriers of rabies. They break into attics to raise their young. They use swimming pools as their own toilet. There are 3 main ways to trap a rodent:

1.  Retrieve the baby raccoons by hand and use the rodents as bait to catch the mother raccoon.

The rodent litter is removed by hand once located in the attic. This method is relatively dangerous as the mother rodent is likely in the attic and will defend her young. Mother raccoons will do anything for their young.
This method involves quite a bit of skill. If you cannot safely move around in the attic or on your rooftop, call a professional rodent removal company.

2.  With the rodents still inside the attic, set the trap at the entry point and structurally force the rodent to be trapped as it leaves the house.

No rodent or critter can enter an attic and stay there for more than a few days. They all have to come outside sooner or later for food and water. A trap set at entry hole, secured so that the animal cannot circumvent the trap, is an excellent way to be certain to catch the target animal. Some entry points do not allow this type of setup and other rodent removal techniques have to be used.

3.  Catch critters with live humane traps on the ground baited with delicious foods.

This is a weak removal method if the problem rodent is inside the attic. But sometimes, its the only method depending on how the rodent is getting into the home. If the problem is rodents pooping in the pool, digging in the trash, or ripping up porch screens, then this is the good approach. Raccons like to eat everything, so the choice of bait isn't terribly important. If meat products are used, especially wet cat food or tuna - you will increase the odds that you will catch a feral cat in the neighborhood. If the rodent has been captured in this type of trap before, the rodents may stay away from the traps.
