What Prices Do We Charge?
Learn About Costs and Our Wildlife Control Prices
We are Missouri's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Saint Louis raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Saint Louis pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:
- Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
- Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
- If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
- Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
- When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation
Saint Louis Raccoon Control Tip: What Bait Will Attract Raccoons?
If you are sitting at the trap to try to catch a raccoon, you are probably looking for the very best bait to use. While raccoons are true omnivores, meaning they will eat just about anything, there are choices for bait that are significantly better than others. Here are some things you should consider when setting your trap.
Cheese
This is a common theme you will see. Raccoons have a very strong sense of smell. They see terribly, which is why they are nocturnal creatures. Because they would be doomed being out in the daylight, they hunt and forage during the night. There extremely strong smell helps them to be successful when they are out looking for food.
For this reason, using foods that have a strong odor to them is a good choice. This is where cheese makes for the perfect option. Cheese has such a strong odor, especially after it has been sitting out for six or seven hours. You may think that rotting cheese would deter a raccoon, but no worries here. It will only be more of an inducement to draw the raccoon into your trap.
Meat
Like cheese, meat that has been sitting out for a while will have a very strong smell. If you stick out some beef or chicken at about two or three in the afternoon, by 10 o'clock at night it should have an incredibly strong odor.
Of course, you have to worry about attracting other animals. You don't want to leave your meat in the trap at four in the afternoon, or you may have a cat or dog trap inside your cage. Leave it out on a counter until it is dark, then place it in the trap.If you want to use meat that will last longer outside, consider using beef jerky. There is some concern about maggots eating away at the rotting meat should you put steak out, but that would not be the case with beef jerky. It may be a better choice to use.
Bread and Pastries
While bread or pastries don't have a strong of an odor as cheese or meat, they are sweet. Raccoons have a bit of a sweet tooth themselves. They will find a doughnut, bear claw, or other type of pastry and enticing inducement.
Bread also works quite well. After leaving it outside for eight or nine hours, it will have a stronger odor. Plus, it will give off a different kind of scent, a sweet scent that could be your ticket for success.
Fruit
Like pastries, fruit can be the perfect choice for you. Oranges, strawberries, and bananas are sweet. They also last a lot longer and they have a strong enough odor, especially fruits like oranges. You can have a lot of success using these kinds of fruits, because they are sure to attract a raccoon with a sweet tooth.
While there are other options out there, these are the ones that you will have the most success with. It won't be long before you trap that raccoon for good.
