Racoon Removal

Seems a family of raccoons decided to set up house under our back porch (I think there are four of them, two young 'uns).

Does anyone have a recommendation for a removal service (We are in Ballard if that makes a difference)?

We've tried a few things we've read about to get them to leave (sprinkling epsom salts around, putting flashing lights out) but they seem to like their spot.

We've had good luck with Jack Russell Wildlife Control, they did great work helping us clear a raccoon house from under our porch and put up some wire mesh to discourage future tenants :). They were also very realistic about the best ways to animal-proof the property, with recommendations for what might work vs what probably wouldn't.

Sadly, looks like they are no longer serving King County - animalproblem.com -- I left a message for kingwildlifeservices.com - hoping they respond.

I wonder if Jack Russell would refer you to someone local. Raccoons are the worst. So cute, so annoying.

We used animalproblem.com/wildlife-... last year, and it was expensive, but fixed the problem. Sorry to hear they're no longer serving the area! If I hear of anyone else, I'll let you know.

Appreciate all the help, I did reach out to Jack Russell Wildlife Control to see if they can recommend someone, hope to hear back soon. Also contacted seattlepestwildlife.com. King Wildlife, never responded. Hopefully will get it resolved and have a recommendation ready for when it happens to someone else.
