Raccoon Damage Control Quackery

Wildlife Damage Control is constantly amazed at the stupid, dangerous and downright cruel animal damage control information disseminated in the world. While we vigorously oppose an animal rights ideology, we categorically reject any technique that inflicts more injury on an animal than is necessary to solve it. We have compiled this page to educate the world to the horrors of improper animal damage control strategy.

We have a trailer that has been made into a cabin. We have raccoons under it. What is the best way to get rid of them? We have been told to feed them a mixture of fish and glass which would kill them and pull them out. There must be a good way to get rid of them and then be able to board up under the cabin so that we will not get them again. Can you help with any suggestions?
