The Raccoon Saga: Unwelcomed and unwanted visitor

As a long term homeowner, real estate manager and rental property owner I have had more than a few incidents requiring a wildlife specialist and other contractors. Rather than starting for scratch looking for contractors I can often help my customers with my own known vendor referrals to help my customer resolve the problem more quickly. 

In this case, the homeowners didn’t have to fly home to deal with the issue themselves. 

All remediation efforts including finding and recommending the wildlife specialist and repair contractor for follow up repairs were done by me for my customer and included phone calls, texts messages, emails and photos to keep them informed and updated. They also approved each step along the way before any work was performed.

In the end, the homeowners got quite lucky. The raccoon left the attic without creating any more damage. The Wildlife Specialist believes that because we found the raccoon in the attic so quickly after she entered the house, that she may have been frightened by us and decided that this home was not a safe place for her to nest and have her babies so she left on her own.

This could have had a much different outcome had the raccoon not been discovered, had its babies, and remained in the house undetected for 2 more months while the home owners were away…
