Raccoon in basement window well. Who do I call ?

[Skip]

A good idea, if it weren't for the obstruction, read my post, #6.

I would go window then. I would try to do the bucket and cut plywood to cover the rest of the window opening. Slide the plywood down if you can get him inside the bucket. Carry outside.

Or just let him die and remove on Monday/Tuesday.

Problem solved itself.

I went down to the basement to take a picture to post, and the raccoon must finally figured out to use the board to climb out of the window well.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Sounds like he's pretty lethargic. You only need the window open enough to stick the muzzle through. Monday trash day is close enough.


Edit: glad to hear it.

Chicken......just reach in and pet the Lil feller.
He probably figured you looked like his mommy.

Good news! Less dead critter around your house is always a good thing.

Now buy a grate you can stick on that well.

For future reference.

You'll need:

1. One internal combustion engine. In running condition.
2. One length of rubber hose. Length is dependent on location of internal combustion engine and unwanted critter.
3. 1 sheet of plywood or similar flat substance that can temporarily cover window well.

Run length of hose from window well to internal combustion engine. Cover window well with sheet of plywood or similar item. Making sure to cover entire opening and window below is closed tight. Plywood does not need to make airtight seal but should cover entire opening with minimal gaps. Insert hose under plywood. Go start internal combustion engine and insert other end of hose into exhaust exit. Run for approx. ten minutes or until unwanted critter is deceased. Remove plywood and allow noxious gas fumes to clear for 10 minutes. Remove unwanted critter and dispose of properly.

Had a vet suggest the same style of relocation. Only it was for a few feral cats that were better off removed. Surprised they were able to survive birth.
