Here is a wildlife technician form Pest Protection Plus Inc. humanely releasing a raccoon!
If you have a raccoon on your property that is causing problems or posing a threat, it may be necessary to capture and relocate the animal in a humane manner. Humane cage capture and relocation involves using specialized equipment and techniques to safely and respectfully remove the raccoon from your property and release it in a suitable habitat. Here is a detailed description of humane cage capture and humane relocation of a raccoon to a green space:
Preparation: Before attempting to capture a raccoon, it is important to assess the situation and make sure that it is safe and appropriate to do so. Consider factors such as the raccoon's behavior, the potential for injury, and the availability of suitable release sites. It is also important to have the necessary equipment and supplies on hand, such as a humane cage trap, gloves, and a towel or blanket.
Setting the trap: To capture the raccoon, you will need to set a humane cage trap in an area where the animal is likely to be. Choose a location that is near the raccoon's den or feeding area and bait the trap with a food that the raccoon is likely to be attracted to, such as fruit or vegetables. Check the trap regularly and remove any debris or debris to keep it clean and functional.
Capturing the raccoon: When the raccoon enters the trap, it will trigger the door to close, safely containing the animal inside. Do not approach the trap or try to handle the raccoon until it has been secured and transported to the release site.
Transporting the raccoon: To transport the raccoon to the release site, cover the cage with a towel or blanket to calm the animal and prevent it from escaping or causing harm. Place the cage in a secure location in your vehicle and drive to the release site, taking care to avoid sudden movements or loud noises that may stress the animal.
