Put out some food for them and make friends. They're probably going to be hanging out until mating season, which is Jan/Feb. Might as well make them comfortable.

I'd call Wildlife and Fisheries or similar in the morning... see if they can trap and relocate them for you. You can probably find traps and do it yourself. Just wear heavy gloves or oyster shucking gloves if you can find them.


FWIW -

My folks in SELA started feeding a throng of those guys leftovers on their driveway about 20 years ago. Have had several generations stick around to the point they are almost tame and a couple know their names (my parents may be getting "there").

Point is - Aside from having to get bungees for the trash can lids - They have caused zero damage to their property or landscaping. Despite the fact that there is serious swamp out the back door - Haven't seen a single snake or large spider in decades. They eat anything that moves (or doesn't move).

I will try to find the pic they sent me from last winter. It's extreme.

frickin rakins. That's what they are, frickin rakins.



Also I may befriend them, but if they keep being bitches and hissing and growling they'll find themselves trapped.

Gotta keep these raccoons in check.

Your better off just killing raccoons than translocation. They have intricate family structures and when you move them, the other raccoons will force the new ones to starve to death slowly. It's more humane just to kill them.

Try to give one a hug and you'll find out how adorable they really are.

If a raccoon is growling at me on my porch and refuses to leave, it's getting shot. I'd warn the neighbors first.

Just befriend them. They aren't really causing any real problems and if times get hard you can always eat them. Cook them down with sweet potatoes in a gravy

Because it's fun to watch them eat spaghetti.



Ever seen a raccoon try to eat cotton candy? They try to wash it and it dissolves.
