How? I haven't even started complaining about homosexuals or cat people yet
Ever have raccoons in your attic?

This. ^^ Tis' the season right now, where momma coon is having kits. As someone else said already, DO NOT block the mother from getting to her kits, as that will likely lead to far more damage, etc.
You can get a trap, or two, at the local Tractor Supply type store for probably around $40 apiece, or borrow some from someone. Serious tip...if you do trap them on your own and then try to move them to a release site while still alive...make sure you do something to secure the trap doors so they cannot be opened by the frantic coon(s) while in transit. For real, I know someone who did this and the dang thing got out of the trap in the trunk!!
I do not recommend that you do it this way though, FWIW. But many do.
Along with any dogs, etc, that find it. NOT recommended in town, etc, IMO.
Because he went off in the thread about people paying for cleaners when you can do it yourself.
Well...if you do decide on this unwise method...please film it so we can all laugh, er, review it, later.
Ya I'm pretty hesitant to put any sort of poison out because I have a coonhound that will lap up anything that smells delicious.
We had a post about this before. I think the moral of the story is get them out/killed as soon as possible, or you are going to have to spend a lot of money remediating their toxic poop and piss.

Raccoon Piss
We were gone for a week and a family of six raccoons decided to make the area above my basement ceiling their home. They’ve been removed, $650, but my basement smells like raccoon piss. Any ideas on removing the smell? Not covered by insurance btw.

I'd start with removing the drywall and replacing it then a fresh coat of paint. That can usually do the trick getting rid of anything that had the piss on it. Might want to paint your 2 x 4's above the drywall also just to help.Raccoon Piss

Ya, here's to hoping they've just been sticking to the attic. I know I haven't seen them in the house, and I haven't particularly heard them in the walls. I haven't even seen them go in and out, just saw the ripped up corner of my roof. Also hoping there aren't too many. If there's babies, hoping for only like 3. I also haven't heard any vocal noises from them. just clunking in the ceiling.Raccoon Piss

Between hunting and trapping, I've harvested hundreds over the years. They used to be worth good money. Next time, comment on a topic you know something about, this one is way over your head.
Who's bragging? See what I responded to. He said try it, I stated I already have.
I was at the farm a few years back, saw a raccoon wobbling around in the middle of the driveway, so I grabbed the trusty Mosin-Nagant, rolled the window open Lee Harvey Oswald style and put it to sleep. They're cute but can be destructive and bearers of disease.
Had this happen once, almost. Thankfully the neighbor noticed the hole in the roof and said something to us. Got the mamma trapped before it got in. Exterminator took it to his garage and let it have the babies.
Roof repair was 700 but this was 13 yrs ago.
Reading these other accounts I’m even more thankful we got it before it got in.

You know nothing about shooting a coon in the head in an attic. I don't care how you are the Daniel Boon of the woods.
I have hunted for more years than you have, I'm sure. In the setting of an attic it's different. Like I said when you ever have to try it get back to us all on how it went. My head is fine where it's at.
My new theory is that he is also @N8dogg99 because it's just so hard to duplicate that level of dumbassedness and that guy has it in spades.
Seriously? No one gets the reference? Too obscure a band for y’all, I guess.
That may have been me. That’s where I had raccoons it was multiple thousands not ten of thousands. The exterminator guy drove the raccoons away using strobe lights and really really loud air horn noises. He waited until we were gone and put out strobe lights and horns. They ran away. I don’t know if it matters but the baby raccoons were nearly grown.
He did put a trap out near the house but it only caught stray cats. We ended up getting rid of a lot of saved junk from the basement because of raccoon poop though.
It's crossed my mind because he came outta nowhere on this board. We'll see if the spelling mistakes start adding up
So best case scenario: The raccoon guy found where they were climbing up, and where they ripped a bunch of roof off, but he believes the access point is too small for a raccoon, so he patched it up with cardboard. He's going to check it again in 3 days and if it is untouched, he'll know nothing is entering or exiting there. And from there I'll hire a roofer to patch the roof/shingles.
No poison!!! You'll end up poisoning something you don't mean to. Just buy the damn Havaheart trap and relocate it next to @McLovin32 's house. It's easy.
I'm not either, but have some pride man. Besides they're going to keep charging every time they catch an animal in the neighborhood whether it's the offender or not. You'll have more fun and get more satisfaction from dropping it at McLovins front door.
No but your voice sounds like woke made your nephew lose homecoming queen to a boy.
if i'm going through that much trouble I'm going to but the raccoon in his bed, not by his door.
I'll bring up what I want to bring up you marxist bathhouse bitch
