We are Minnesota's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Minneapolis raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Minneapolis pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
• If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
• Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
• When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation

Minneapolis Raccoon Control Tip: How Smart Are Raccoons?
Many people mistake raccoons for clueless, brainless animals that just want to steal food from their trash cans. There's nothing farther from the truth. Although calm and innocent-looking, raccoons are one of the most intelligent animals in the animal kingdom. Here are some cool facts about the intelligence of raccoons. 

IQ Close to Monkeys
Raccoons have been found to have an IQ just slightly behind that of monkeys on the mammal IQ scale. That's way higher than anybody in the scientific community expected. This means that raccoons are way smarter than cats and dogs. 

Evolving Intelligence
Raccoons are also able to adapt their intelligence and knowledge to solve puzzles. The Aesop's Fable test is used to determine if an animal can learn to perform a task by watching a human do it. 

In a famous experiment by National Geographic, raccoons were shown how to reach marshmallows (the treat) from a narrow cylindrical container with water by dropping in stones to raise the level of the water so the treat comes up. Of the eight raccoons given this test, eight were able to displace the water level by adding stones. The third was impatient, knocking down the container to get the treat. Such a level of inventiveness is unique to only a few species of animals. 

Evading Scientific Experiments
As you probably know, scientists use animals like rats to carry out studies on animals. Scientists that thought raccoons would make an ideal lab animal were soon proven wrong. 

Thanks to their creativity and intelligence, lab raccoons kept escaping from the lab, often hiding in air vents and other secret places for long periods. And even when they would be found, they became extremely aggressive as an act of defense. Raccoon bites and scratches are very dangerous due to several diseases and parasites they carry. Hence, scientists found out outwitting raccoons in their labs was not worth the risks. 

Superb Memory
Raccoons have sound memory - better than that of intelligent dogs - and comparable to that of toddlers. 

In a famous experiment, a delicious treat was shown to be placed behind one of three doors. After some time elapsed, the animal's task was to then identify where the treat was. Dogs and rats were only able to choose correctly when they were left to focus exclusively on the door during the waiting period. On the other hand, raccoons could remember where the treat was even when they were heavily distracted during the period of pause. Impressive!

High Potential for Domestication 
Domesticating a wild animal is no easy feat - but it is relatively easy to train a raccoon to live peacefully with humans. What's more, a domesticated raccoon can be taught to perform cool tricks like clapping, dancing, ringing a bell, and even riding a bike!

This just shows you how incredible these masked bandits are. However, note that you should never raise a raccoon on your own. Asides from it being illegal, raccoons are wild animals, and as such, they are unpredictable. 

High Adaptability and Learning
Raccoons are remarkable animals. Despite their relatively large size, they have learned to depend on humans for food and shelter. Raccoons know that attics, crawlspaces, and chimneys make for safer and warmer nesting sites for them to raise their pups. They have also become quite skilled at opening trash cans to gain access to leftovers. 

With their highly dexterous hands with superb sensory nerves, they mainly feel the world through their hands, especially at night, being able to tell if what they're holding is food, even under thick darkness. 

Homeowners are shocked when they found out that raccoons have learned to come into their house through the pet door to steal food from their cabinets. 

World Domination
Thanks to their high adaptability and survival instinct, raccoons are one of the few mammals that can thrive pretty much anywhere around the globe. Consequently, they are found throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. 

Little wonder the population of raccoons has been on the rise, even though humans have actively hunted them for their fur and meat. 

Wrap Up
Right now, you're probably thinking, "Hmm, raccoons seem to be way smarter than I thought". Yeah, they are. And they deserve more credit than we give them. That's why you shouldn't try to outsmart one when you have a raccoon infestation problem. Instead, get a wildlife removal professional involved.
