Baby Raccoons in the Attic: A Homeowner's Guide

Finding baby raccoons — called kits — in your attic changes the whole removal. You can't just trap the adult and seal up; the babies will be left behind, and the mother will tear through your roof trying to reach them.

Why DIY usually fails

Kits are hidden, quiet during the day, and fiercely protected by the mother. Homeowners often remove the adult and unknowingly trap the babies inside, which leads to a dead-animal problem within days.

The right approach

• Locate the nest and count the kits
• Remove kits by hand and keep them warm and together
• Reunite them with the mother outside so she relocates them herself
• Seal the entry point and repair the damage once everyone is out

If you suspect kits, act quickly and call a local team. Baby season is when humane, experienced removal matters most — reach us at (888) 571-7782.
