Family owned and operated since its inception in 1971, American Bio-Tech is a trusted source for humane animal control and removal practices in Western Connecticut. Although they are well known for their successful bat removal techniques, their experts are capable of handling a variety of wildlife, such as skunks, opossums, and raccoons.

Raccoons can be especially difficult to evict from your home. These animals are commonly found throughout Connecticut and are easily recognizable by the black mask-like markings around their eyes and their large, bushy, black-ringed tails. Indiscriminate omnivores, raccoons go where opportunity leads them, and unfortunately, they often end up in people’s homes in their search for food. Using their strength and dexterity, they can easily work their way through architectural obstacles like shingles or rake boards and will quickly settle in an attic or chimney.

Raccoons don’t travel alone: They always bring their families with them, meaning homeowners generally find that anywhere between five to nine raccoons have moved in. Given that they are nocturnal creatures, the mere presence of them foraging around your home at night is troubling, but raccoons also bring health hazards. Their waste is a danger to the insulation and structure of your home as well as the occupants’ health.

Thankfully, American Bio-Tech understands the nature of these animals and has honed their methods for removing and keeping them away. Raccoons in Connecticut can often carry rabies, so it’s important that they are handled safely and correctly. American Bio-Tech adheres to the guidelines posed by Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to provide the most humane animal control and removal techniques possible.

If your home has any unwelcome animal visitors, you can trust American Bio-Tech to handle the issue with consideration and respect, for both you and the animals in question. Not only do they have extensive experience in animal control and removal services, they are also very familiar in dealing with many different insurance companies.
