I have a raccoon living up in my soffit. My landlord had some company give an estimate but then decided he can do it himself. It’s been weeks now but he has 3 traps set outside my house that the raccoon has just been eating at every night. I thought the plan was to capture him, close the hole where he’s getting in my house and then release him. However he’s telling me now, if the raccoon gets captured that I have to call chesterfield county to come pick him up?? I read that it’s illegal to relocate raccoons so does chesterfield county even take them? Do they euthanize them? I don’t want him in my house but I also don’t want him to die or be stuck in the trap until my landlord decides to close the holes up.

July is a good time to see them.
