One day, Gates Wildlife Control got a call from construction workers about eleven raccoons who were stuck on a front porch. The company sent out their field supervisor, Joel, to take care of the request.

As Joel reached the place, he immediately assessed the situation as he walked through the inside of the building. Apparently, the house was under renovation, and one night, the back door was left open. This gave the sneaky raccoons a chance to get inside.

Furthermore, one of the raccoons found a broken window and jumped outside leading to the front porch area. The remaining raccoons may have followed him through the opening, and once outside, they could not reach the window anymore, leaving them stuck on the porch.

Joel saw an adorable sight as he went inside the room.

Joel went to the porch where the raccoons were said to be stuck. As he swung the door open, he saw eleven chunky raccoons huddling up together on a single spot in the corner, and they were all adorable. The raccoons never panicked with Joel’s presence, which made it easy for him to rescue them. He opened the door that leads to the outdoors first to give them a safe opening and grabbed his catchpole.

The raccoons were rescued by Joel in a peaceful and harmless way.

He began to poke each of their butts gently, hoping to persuade them to get out of the house. The raccoons were too lazy to get up on their feet and continued to stick beside their comrades instead. Some raccoons chose to fit themselves inside a small gap where they would not get poked by the stick. Eventually, Joel got to lead the first raccoon to go outside.

A man standing outside was constantly surprised as he saw fat raccoons pop out the door one by one.

You could hear him commenting that they are huge almost every time on the video. Meanwhile, Joel continued to convince the furry creatures to peacefully walk outside, and it was not long after when he finally got the last raccoon out of the room.
