You will be hearing the scratching within the base of a wall or at the base of a wooden frame stops the floor areas.

Before you decide that you have the raccoons in the walls, you should be aware of the difference in the voice made by raccoons, opossums, rats or squirrels.



The animals can emit different types of voices and the raccoons like to growl, chatter and other strange noises. However, the most common thing is the baby raccoons with the chattering cry sounds that cannot be made by any other animals. Baby raccoons make such crying call often especially when they are cold or hungry. When you hear the raccoons into the wall, it is possible that there are also the babies inside.

If you want to get the raccoon away of the wall, there are many approaches to take. You can see if the mother raccoons may be grabbed using the snare pole at the top of a wall or through attic and then take it out.

When the mom is not present, you should remove babies and use them like a live bait to trap the mother raccoon. This is when you are able to reach to the babies through the top. When the wall void cannot be accessed from the top of an attic which happens most of the time, you should make a hole into the wall to get access to these raccoons.
