They are extremely destructive animals. I had one get on the roof of my porch and tear into the house to get into the attic. Took a while to get him out, all the while I was petrified it would come down through the air vents. My contractor set up cameras and a trap in the attic with catfood in it. At first, the coon just stuck his paw through the trap and scooped up all the food. Finally, got rid of him.

Coons aren't domesticated animals. They will tear your shite up and they'll tear you up as well if you aren't careful.

I'd raise it a little while then shoot that mf and throw it on the grill.

My previous house was pier and beam, with about 18” clearance off the ground, and after a few years there I had possums living under the house and a raccoon that made an occasional appearance.

I put out traps. Within a few weeks I had disposed of all of the possums. The raccoon didn’t come around at all while the traps were out. He reappeared 2 nights after I picked the traps up. Smart animals.

I have not had a coon in the attic but I did have some squirrels. Those little bastards were bad. And smart. Used live traps and they would never go in.

Finally I sat up there with a pellet rifle and took them out. Over a pile of corn.
