Ever have raccoons in your attic?

I thought same thing. Food was decent.

It’s good for the novelty but a regular appearance, nah.
I remember some food thread on reddit where some guy was complaining bc they don't let you reserve the big window for parties, and he'll never go back because he wants to watch the raccoons and its not worth going if he can't.
 
We had one for a while. A tree got cut down that unknowingly had a raccoon family in it. Mama died and we kept a baby that survived. I used to like to take it with me in the car. It liked to sit at the top of the backrest of the seat. It also like to sit on top of your head if possible. Pretty cool little animal. When it got big enough, my Dad released it in the woods. I'm sure it probably died. He didn't have many woods skills. I did throw a minnow in his water bowl sometimes. He liked minnow fishing.

Now this is a real CSB.

I have to deal with raccoons every year in the barn. I just trap them and relocate them far away. I once caught a skunk in a trap which was a fun experience. I know, CSB.

Raccoon update: They came back and ****ed with the cardboard patch. The weird raccoon guy thinks its either a super aggro male, or a very desperate female. Doesn't think they're in the attic yet bc the hole is still pretty small. Patched it up again with cardboard, put more repellent down, and set traps along their path to the roof.

I must have missed it by why are you futzing around with cardboard?

Raccoon guy said that when they find a spot, and they come back and it's patched up with repellent they typically don't come back. They see someone has been there and move on. So he put cardboard over the hole to see if they'd come back and work on it. If they came back, he'd put traps down.

Raccoon came back, so he put traps down.

Raccoon guy said "if it's patched up with repellent and they still try to get in, it means we either have 1 (maybe 2) really aggressive males, or we have 1 really desperate pregnant female." Says most of the time they see its been worked on and leave.

I think it was also his method of trying the easiest thing first. Basically patch it up, if it is untouched for 2 days, go ahead and have a roofer fix it proper and raccoon guy doesn't have to come back anymore. If it's ****ed with, then he'd get more serious about it. Since they weren't in the attic yet, he was more in preventative thinking than removal.
 
Sounds to me like black rats (roof rat) more than raccoons.
 
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? THIS IS A BIG PART OF MY LIFE RIGHT NOW
I want you to get that goddamn raccoon, post a pic of it here so we know you're not a liar, and then leave it alone so it can live unbothered in your attic.

I'm not asking for much
