Please don't make your problem raccoon somebody else's problem. If you're having problems with raccoons or other wildlife, you can contact the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife at 800-858-1549, their office closes at 4:30pm.

Wildlife experts agree that it's not recommended or considered humane to relocate a raccoon. Instead, there are things people can do to make their property less attractive to the raccoons. Secure garbage cans, remove potential food sources, and seal entry points. In some cases, gentle harassment, like using strong smells, or sounds, can encourage raccoons to leave on their own.

Relocating a raccoon requires a license from the KY Dept of Fish and Wildlife and transporting and/or holding of wildlife for any reason requires a permit. Prioritizing humane and sustainable methods of managing wildlife conflicts is essential for both the well-being of the animals and the health of the ecosystem.  -- DR
