We are Wisconsin's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Madison 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 Madison 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

Madison Raccoon Control Tip: Do raccoons use tools?
Have you ever wondered how raccoons take stuff from you without your knowledge? You might have set a trap or two in order to get rid of the raccoons on your property, but for some reason, it seems like the raccoons do not feel threatened by the traps, or it seems like the traps do not work on them. There are many instances where raccoons reach places or parts of your house that are impossible or difficult to access, making you wonder if these critters use their hands to overcome these obstacles.

Raccoons are smart, and as a result of being smart, they possess impressive physical, intellectual, and behavioral skills that can make them take down opponents that are far larger and stronger than them. They can even take down poisonous snakes. Raccoons can achieve these feats because they can use tools. It is surprising, actually, but it is true. Raccoons are very tricky. They get into homes despite several measures to prevent them from gaining access. They dig tunnels under fences and try to get into people's homes. They steal food, destroy farms, prey on farm animals and fishes in fish ponds. 

Why raccoons use tools
Tools and other forms of technology have made it easy for man to carry out many activities on a daily basis. Raccoons are intelligent animals with a brain that can be compared to that of dogs and primates like monkeys and apes. Their intelligence has resulted in them being colonized and also being able to adapt and use things available in their environment to survive. Raccoons in captivity do not impulsively use tools to aid their actions, but under experiments, they use tools to carry out their actions easily. They use it in killing, hunting, fighting, reaching for items, and grabbing items. 

The hands of raccoons are similar to that of humans and apes. They have five separate fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand. Their opposable thumbs make it impossible for them to manipulate these tools in a complex way like primates. But despite that shortcoming, they are still able to grab and use tools for themselves. For raccoons, the act of hunting underwater requires good sensory abilities in order to feel what is edible and what isn't edible before dragging it out of the water. Because of this, they are able to develop multiple cells on their paws. This remarkable skill has enabled them to become good hunters, breaking into people's properties, and carrying out other actions. 

As stated before, raccoons kill their prey with tools. For example, they use rocks to kill snakes. The raccoon grabs the rock and smashes it on the head of the snake, making the snake weak and without guard, and as a result, the raccoon can kill the snake easily without getting bitten by the snake or ingesting the snake's venom. Raccoons also use stones and sticks to remove obstacles from their path, thereby overcoming the obstacles easier and faster. 

The evolution of the raccoon's hands
Raccoons were able to use their hands skillfully from repeatedly trying to find food underwater and other parts of the environment. They had to pull out food that is immersed in mud or silt. They kept carrying out these actions over time, and soon they got used to the act of using their paws. Raccoons can use their hands to tear stuff and cause a lot of damages to your property. 

Raccoons are also trained to use man-made tools purely for entertainment. Being smart animals, they are able to learn how these tools are used if they are taught patiently.

Avoid a raccoon infestation
Knowing how skillful raccoons are, it is best that you protect your home from these intelligent but destructive creatures. If you are still dealing with a raccoon problem, you should check for the main thing attracting the raccoon to your property. If it is a particular food source, secure the food source, or if it is a waste bin, use locks on the lid to prevent the raccoon from accessing it. You can use cage traps to remove the raccoon and relocate it somewhere that is far from your home so it would not be able to locate its way back. It is best to hire professionals to deal with a raccoon problem.
