The View From The Fenceline: How a Gap in the Ivy Launched Our Mission
For years, I walked past the same stretch of fence, wondering why the ivy wouldn’t grow in one specific spot. It was a small mystery until one evening, the mystery solved itself.
Through the shadows, I saw them: a line of raccoons expertly navigating that exact gap. It wasn't a dead zone for plants; it was a high-traffic wildlife highway. In that moment, something clicked. I realized that nuisance wildlife isn't just out in the woods—it’s moving right through our backyards, using paths we’ve been trained to overlook.
From then on, I stopped just looking. I started seeing.
The Science and Grit of Wildlife Trapping
Once I humanely trapped that first raccoon, I was hooked. I quickly realized that nuisance wildlife management is a unique puzzle. Every animal behaves differently, every property presents a new challenge, and the rules change the moment you think you’ve figured them out.
It’s an ever-changing line of work that requires true trapper’s grit and a deep understanding of animal behavior. After several successful seasons resolving wildlife conflicts for neighbors, the drive to build a professional, licensed service grew. I wanted to protect more homes, manage more species, and offer homeowners reliable, long-term peace of mind.
Expanding Our Wildlife Services & Specializations
Our first year in business as Hwy2Raccoon was a whirlwind. We quickly found a passion for licensed beaver trapping, successfully managing water levels, removing dams, and protecting private land from structural flooding.
As our reputation grew across Washington State, we began specializing in high-stakes wildlife exclusion calls:
- Humane Raccoon Removal: We honed the delicate skill of safely removing female raccoons and their young from sheds, attics, and crawlspaces, ensuring families are reunited and properties are fully cleared.
- Professional Squirrel Exclusion: By our second year, we expanded into comprehensive squirrel proofing—sealing up complex rooftops, fascia boards, and roof gaps to outsmart the most persistent climbers.
- Advanced Technology: We integrated cellular camera monitoring into our wildlife control process, allowing us to track entry points 24/7 and ensure a home is 100% vacant before finalizing any structural repairs.
