Raccoon removal

How can I deal with a nuisance raccoon on my property?

According to Ohio Administrative Code 1501:31-15-03, it is legal to live trap raccoons when they have become a nuisance. Nuisance and sick raccoons may be trapped on a homeowners property without a permit.

However, a homeowner may not relocate the raccoon. According to the law, the property owner cannot relocate the raccoon or keep the animal in a trap longer than 24 hours. With very few options other than releasing the raccoon back on site (to prevent the spreading of disease), what can a property owner do?

Ohio wild animal nuisance regulations allow two options for dealing with raccoon control:

1. Release the raccoon on the same property in which it was live-trapped
2. Humanely euthanize a nuisance or sick raccoon
