A raccoon can make himself a living space inside your home. These nuisance pests can cause thousands of dollars in damage inside your home alone. So, the main question which you will ask yourself is, how do I get it out? Sure you can get tons of information off the internet on how to remove nuisance pests from your home. However, is it legal?
In the state of Virginia, it is ILLEGAL to -- take, possess, import, cause to be imported, export, cause to be exported, buy, sell, offer for sale, or liberate within the Commonwealth any wild animal unless otherwise specifically permitted by law or regulation. (4 VAC 15-30-10) This means it is illegal to trap any wildlife animal and/or remove them from their present location unless you are licensed to do so.
The state of Maryland and the District of Columbia's laws are the same as Virginia when it comes to trapping and relocating wildlife pests. Yes, any person can purchase traps in which you don't need a license to do so. These can be purchased at local hardware stores or even online. However, it is still illegal to trap and remove wildlife animals. If you are caught, you could pay a fine and/or even spend time in jail.
