Wildlife Education - Techniques for the Safe Removal of Raccoons from Attics in Houston, TX

Houston Raccoon Control & Removal

I recommend All Animal Control of Houston for raccoon removal and wildlife removal in the Houston area. I have spoken with the owner of All Animal Control of Houston Control, and he fully understands Texas raccoons and their behavior, and the proper methods for humane removal. For me to recommend him, he has agreed to abide by rules of humane wildlife removal, all Harris County and Texas wildlife laws, and have a thorough understanding of wildlife biology and the concerns associated with critter removal, such as the welfare of the animals, the presence of baby raccoons in the attic, and the need to perform complete wildlife removal services with permanent results, utilizing techniques such as home inspections, preventative repairs, and animal waste cleanup.

Example Raccoon Control Email from Houston, TX:

Hi David I live in Houston and first noticed raccoons in the attic in early Feb. We hired a professional. At that time, I had not yet found your website, so I didn't hire the fellow you suggested. The trapper I hired set a trap, switching off among peanut butter, marshmallows and sardines as bait. Over the last 3 months, he has lethally trapped 9 raccoons. Many were males, none were lactating females. Several were very large. While I can never be completely sure that they were not there before February, the noise they make is not subtle and it seems impossible to me that they could have been living in the attic for an extended period without me or my wife having noticed. There is at least one more raccoon in the attic now, and from the sound of it, I would guess that there is more than one. Today, for the first time, the trapper set two traps. So, here are my questions.
1) Is it possible that the bait is attracting raccoons to the attic that were not previously living there?
2) If there are no lactating females, would it be safe to close off the raccoons� access to the attic before we finish trapping them?
3) A contractor we know says we are crazy for being so patient. He said that, if we leave the house for a day or two, he will find and kill them with air guns.
4) Is that a good idea under these circumstances?
5) Is there any other bait the trapper should be using?
6) Natural selection would suggest that the remaining raccoons are the smart ones. After so many of their fellows have fallen, won't they have learned to stay clear of the trap?
7) Should the trapper being switching between the kinds of traps he uses? I live in Channelview Texas which is a suburb of Houston Thanks for your help. �Andy
