Do you have an invasive raccoon?
The raccoon is a mammal that is omnipresent in Quebec, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas. Although it is a fascinating animal, its presence in our homes can quickly become problematic.
How to get rid of a raccoon?
It is strongly advised not to try to capture or kill a raccoon yourself. These animals are wild and can be aggressive, especially when they feel threatened. Calling on a professional animal capture specialist is the safest and most effective solution.
