Raccoon problem at rental and the family is scared

Hey everyone. We’re having a Raccoon problem at 1 of our rentals. What can we do to stop this from happening ? It’s becoming a lot and the family who’s occupying the home is sacred. The tenant mentioned she hearing them in the attic at night. Today we put them in a hotel for the weekend until we figure this out and stop this from happening. This is our first time with this issue. Any suggestions ? Thanks !

Put them on Craigslist as baby pandas, free to good home…

They look pretty cute on someone else’s roof. :-)

    Pest control service 

    Seal up the house 

    Poison bait/traps in the attic 

    Tell the tenants to stop leaving their nasty food and trash out and attracting rodents. Sounds like the tenants created the problem (no racoons when you rented it to them I'm assuming) and now you're accommodating and putting them in a hotel for a problem they created.

    I agree with Jeremy.  Call pest control.  They can remove them and should also be able to figure out where they are coming in and deal with it.

    You said the family is sacred. I still wouldn't pay to have the raccoons stay in a hotel....
