Caught a raccoon last night in a cage. Anyone aware of a free service to come relocate it for me?

Hindsight is a beeyatch, but maybe you should have thought about this before setting the trap.

It's a raccoon, you didn't catch the only one, and your moving that one won't make a damn bit of difference. Might as well just open the trap and let it back out. Otherwise, get a .22 and some rat shot and just do the deed yourself.

This is what I would do.



After the short intro.. go to 56 sec mark for the reaction.

This is what a friend of mine did:

1) Wait until the day before trash day.
2) Find a container big enough for the trap to fit in.
3) Fill the container with water.
4) Place trap with raccoon inside in the container. Make sure the cage is completely submerged.
5) Wait ten minutes.
6) Discard dead raccoon and put it out for trash pick-up the next day.

I did. If I can't find someone to do it for free, I plan to take it to the bayou/park a few miles from my house. Was hoping there was a city service that would do it for free while I was at work.

I certainly wasn't paying the pest company $125 for cage rental plus $125 per animal that was caught.

1. Find a ditch with about 12" of water.
2. Relocate cage, complete with racoon, into said ditch
3. Wait about 10 minutes
4. Repeat with new racoon you'll catch tomorrow night

You need to put a .22 in the back of its skull. Or do the drowning thing in a garbage can.

State Law:

Nuisance Fur-bearing Animals


Landowners or their agents may take nuisance fur-bearing animals in any number by any means at any time on that person's land without the need for a hunting or trapping license. However, fur-bearing animals or their pelts taken for these purposes may not be retained or possessed by anyone at any time except licensed trappers during the lawful open season and possession periods.
Nuisance fur-bearing animals may be captured and relocated if the person has received authorization from the department and the owner of the property where the release will occur. A monthly report is required and must be submitted to the department on number and kind of fur-bearers captured, location of release site, name and address of person authorized to release.

Destroy where it lives. It will leave.
