re: Owning a pet raccoon questions

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.

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.
