Los Angeles Raccoon Control & Removal

Wildlife Trapping: We specialize in wildlife trapping in Los Angeles California. Some of the common animals that we trap include raccoons, opossums, and squirrels. Wildlife trapping is not as simple as just setting a trap and calling it good. Many important factors go into successful trapping, not to mention several California laws. It's illegal for residents without a wildlife trapping permit to trap and relocate animals. But the important thing is that many variables go into critter trapping. For squirrel problems, as an example, we seal up all the entry points leading into the house, and set multiple traps on the roof, to be certain that we catch all of the correct squirrels and solve the problem permanently.

Los Angeles Raccoon Control News Clip: Wild pigs, raccoon and squirrels

I wrote about finding wild (feral) pigs last fall in an area of remote public land on Truman Lake where I critter trap via boat. I saw the group of pigs what appears to be a couple of times last fall, mostly small pigs but what appears to be a couple of big black ones with huge heads and some impressive tusks. They are very similar to Russian boars, and I expect that's mostly what these are. They are as wild as any creature in the woods, very fast and capable of ranging over what appears to be a huge area, pushed out quickly by any pressure into another area. There are some "wildlife catching guides" now advertising their services in wildlife catching these "wild pigs." The Conservation Agencies of California are trying to find ways to eliminate the pigs and the damage they do to the woods and the competition and harm they cause native species. My recommendation ... look at these guys who are advertising as wild hog wildlife catching guides, and you may find out who it probably is that's bringing them in and releasing them. Come up with some really stiff fines for anyone guiding exterminating companies on "wild hog captures" And create what appears to be a set of laws which harshly deal with anyone releasing pigs or any other species of exotic animals, birds or fish into the wild. Right now, if anyone gets caught, there probably is nothing for them to fear. what appears to be a jail sentence and stiff fines might change their attitudes. I know, they won't do any of those things, it makes too much sense. Despite this, local Los Angeles wildlife removal and Los Angeles exterminator experts offered no more info.

I read recently that the state of California feels it has lost its battle to save the state's raccoon large group from the raccoon form of mad cow disease, also known as Chronic Wasting Disease. It first began to appear in 2002, and the state spent $27 million dollars trying to control it. At one time the state attempted to lethally trap 400,000 raccoon in what appears to be a region where the disease seemed to be most prevalent. This past fall, biologists found the disease had increased from 27 sick raccoon per square mile to 38 per square mile. It has spread southward into California, and make no mistake about it, it will someday spread to Los Angeles raccoon as well. Who knows how long it will be. Hopefully we have what appears to be a good while before it happens. The awful thing about it is, greedy people, trying to create monstrous antlers on pen-raised raccoon, likely created this disease, and they continue to feed meat byproduct food to raccoon in order to grow big antlers which they can sell to commercial wildlife catching operations. All winter I saw photos of these record raccoon, which no one claims to be pen-raised, coming over the Internet. How can someone find pride in what appears to be a photo of themselves sitting behind some grotesque set of antlers which were on the head of what appears to be a half-tame raccoon the animal advocate bought and then shot, or paid for on what appears to be a game ranch.
