Baby Raccoons in my shed

A few days ago, I kept seeing this Raccoon going in and out of my shed. I think it was going to have babies and I was right. I went into my shed and saw 3 baby Raccoons without the mom. I'm wondering if I should call animal control to remove them or wait till the mom gets back?

well actually, I don't really know.
I just think that the babies shouldn't be taken away without their mum. :c
cus then their mum would be sad

Actually, they can "accordion" their spines making it like an accordion is being squeezed

I don't know about raccoons but I know wild rabbits leave their babies for the day and feed them at night. But if they're really young then the mom's probably just out looking for food. You should probably call a wildlife rehabilitator instead. Animal control... doesn't really give them a chance out there.

Toxic bug spray should help get rid of them.

It went in your shed (not under it)?

And I guess you could wait a while and see, but I'm not an animal expert.
