We are Virginia's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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

Norfolk Raccoon Control Tip: How to keep raccoons out of my bird feeder 
At the most fundamental level, most people enjoy seeing birds. That's why we take the time, effort, money, and dedication to consistently feed birds appealing and nutritious food. But asides from the deep satisfaction we gain from such an activity, we also feed birds because they help pollinate our flowers and control the insect population. 

However, your good intentions aren't enough to stop a raccoon from taking advantage of the food in your bird feeder. After eating the seed crumbs lying around the floor surrounding your bird feeder, raccoons will climb up the pole to gain direct access to the feeder. Do not be deceived by their weight - raccoons are quite adept at climbing. So how do you keep them out of your bird feeder for good? Let's find out!

Position Your Bird Feeder Where It's Difficult to Access
Raccoons have to climb to get to your bird feeder. Make that climbing difficult for them. For starters, do not place your feeder close to treetops or your roof, which raccoons can use to gain easy access.

Also, ensure that the ground around your bird feeder is clean. Trim away tall grasses and make sure everywhere is tidy. This makes it impossible for raccoons to hide while they perpetrate their act. 

Install a Bird Baffle on Your Bird Feeder Pole
A baffle is a contraption that is used to stop animals from climbing. Baffles are one of the more common methods of keeping animals like raccoons, squirrels, and even chipmunks from stealing bird seeds. 

Baffles come in different shapes and sizes. But in general, they look like the cone that's usually placed around the neck of a dog. You can easily purchase one from a pet store, or you can make one from scratch. 

While baffles are not 100 percent effective, they work most of the time!

Spicy Food
If you've eaten hot peppers before, you know exactly how discomforting it is. The hot burning sensation you feel in your mouth is enough to cause tears to trickle down your eyes. Capsaicin is the compound in hot pepper responsible for this! Mammals, in general, have similar taste receptors that make capsaicin mess with specific nerve endings in their mouth. And as you know, raccoons are mammals. On the other hand, birds lack these taste receptors responsible for this burning sensation. This means birds can eat spice all day long without feeling a thing! 

So here's the hack: treat your bird food with capsaicin. Once raccoons learn that your bird food is spicy, they'll avoid it for good. 

Use a Raccoon-Resistant Bird Feeder
Purchasing a raccoon-proof bird feeder would save you the stress of having to deal with raccoons disturbing your feeder. Raccoon-resistant bird feeders come in different designs. Some of which include:

• Weight-sensitive Feeders

A weight-sensitive feeder is designed to provide access to only animals that weigh less than the predefined weight. It features a perch that closes when enough weight is placed on it. Raccoons weigh considerably more than birds. So when a raccoon puts its chubby legs on it, access to food is denied. On the other hand, average-sized birds will always have easy access to food. 

• Caged Bird Feeders

These metal feeders are made from strong wire mesh with holes that allow only small birds to fit through! A caged bird feeder also helps to keep away squirrels and even unwanted birds like starlings.

Maintain Your Feeder

• Remove Bird Feeder at Night

Raccoons are nocturnal creatures, so they're most likely to attack your feeder at night. You can outsmart them by taking your bird feeder indoors at night, while you take them outdoors when it's daytime. 

• Clean Up the Area

Ensure that there aren't too many bird seeds lying around the ground as this is an open invitation to raccoons. Certain bird feeders are designed to prevent the spilling of seeds. You should opt for such a feeder. 

Trapping
If all you do fails to keep raccoons from your feeder, then trapping should be implemented. Ensure you use a large trap to prevent injuring the raccoon. Peanut butter, dog food, and other human foods make for a great bait. The captured raccoon can then be safely relocated.
