## Frequently Asked Questions
### Q: Is raccoon removal humane?
A: Absolutely. Providers use live traps and follow all state wildlife regulations for humane handling and relocation. No poisons or lethal methods are used. The goal is always to relocate raccoons safely and prevent future entry — not to harm them.

### Q: How much does raccoon removal cost?
A: Basic trapping and removal can range from $300-$500, while exclusion, cleanup, and insulation work can cost substantially more. Fees, availability, and warranty terms vary; request a written quote.

### Q: What diseases do raccoons carry?
A: Raccoons can carry rabies, raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris), leptospirosis, and salmonella. Their droppings can contain roundworm eggs that remain viable for years. Never handle raccoon waste without proper PPE — professional biohazard cleanup is available.

### Q: How long does removal take?
A: Trapping typically takes 3-7 days depending on raccoon patterns. Exclusion work can be completed in a single day. Attic restoration takes 2-4 days depending on damage extent. Work proceeds quickly — no one should have to live with raccoons any longer than necessary.

### Q: Will raccoons come back?
A: Not after professional exclusion work. Raccoons are persistent and will try to re-enter their den site. Professional exclusion methods — heavy-gauge steel mesh, chimney caps, vent guards, and soffit reinforcement — are designed to withstand determined raccoon attempts.

### Q: What should I do if I see a raccoon during the day?
A: Daytime activity doesn't automatically mean rabies, but it's a warning sign — especially if the raccoon appears disoriented, aggressive, or is staggering. Do not approach. Call for emergency removal immediately. Keep children and pets inside.
