Birds, raccoons, squirrels, birds, or any other smaller animals can get comfortable in your attic or under a porch. However, they don’t come without property destruction or getting themselves in dangerous situations, and that’s where Gates Wildlife Control comes in.
He wrote: “One particularly memorable raccoon rescue story that touches my heart and exemplifies the mission of Gates Wildlife Control is the story of Mandy, a baby raccoon that I raised when I was 17 years old. She became my constant companion, following me everywhere and even learning to catch minnows and crayfish from a shallow pond I created for her.”
By acknowledging their adaptability and intelligence, we can develop more effective, humane strategies to coexist with raccoons and other urban wildlife, prioritizing prevention, education, and innovative solutions to mitigate conflicts and ensure a harmonious urban ecosystem. In line with this approach, Gates Wildlife has introduced a new tool to improve how we monitor and safeguard the animals during the removal process.
Our process involves: 1. Humanely removing the mother raccoon and any babies from the attic. 2. Placing the babies in our specifically designed heated reunion boxes, which mimic the warmth and safety of their den. 3. Allowing the mother to collect her babies from the reunion box and relocate them to an alternate den site on her own.
“At Gates Wildlife Control, we believe education is key to promoting humane wildlife control and coexistence with raccoons. To share our knowledge with the public, we leverage various social media channels, including: features exciting and informative videos on wildlife removal, prevention, and coexistence. The videos on the Gates Wildlife Control YouTube channel are presented by Brad and Cassandra Gates, a father-daughter duo.
