Raccoons in your attic should be removed immediately. In addition, to be vectors of rabies, raccoons carry a roundworm that can infect humans and cause Baylisascaris.
If you want to relocate raccoon babies humanly, it is best to encourage them to move the babies and then prevent them from returning.
Due to the possibility of humans contracting rabies or roundworms, both of which can be fatal, raccoons cannot be relocated off the property. If you don’t want to kill the raccoons, you can trap and relocate them on your property and discourage them from returning. Or you can make them move on on their own. We can help with both of these strategies.
Sadly in North Carolina rehabilitators are not allowed to handle or even accept Raccoons. If you find orphaned baby raccoons, you could try and contact Appalachian Wildlife Refuge. Injured or sick raccoons should be euthanized and buried.
