McCune's mix of structures and nearby green space gives raccoons, squirrels, and other wildlife easy access to attics and outbuildings. Housing ranges from historic farmhouses to Kansas City-metro suburban subdivisions, nearly all built with basements for winter protection. The entry point that let them in is usually the same one that needs sealing after removal.
We start by identifying the species and locating every entry and exit point being used, since sealing an active den without removing the occupant first can trap the animal inside. Depending on the species and situation, we use humane one-way exclusion devices that let the animal leave but not return, then seal the entry point permanently once it's confirmed clear.
