re: Something in the attic - any suggestions?

Mama raccoon found her way into my attic and gave birth to 2 babies. Exterminators said they weren't licensed to deal with wildlife - LDWF wanted no part of it - local zoo ditto. Didn't want to go up there and shoot holes through my ceiling. Turned out that the city's (Monroe) animal control unit handled matters of this sort. They sent a guy over who removed the little ones. He told me to give mama a few days to come to the realization that there was no need to keep coming back to the nest and to then seal up her entryway. Wound up costing me a few hundred bucks for repairs but got things fixed up to where she never came back.
