What do you do about raccoons?

[sabar]

Just put a bunch of black pepper up there. Its sold with some other nasty y stuff in bottles with names like critter-away and such. Pretty much anything with a nose hates it. Don't sniff it like I did.

Or patch up where ever they are getting in. And patch it up good. A raccoon shouldn't be able to break into it.

That sounds like it would taste pretty damn good. Growing up in south Texas, I've always had the opportunities to try exotic meats. I've tasted badger and pork sausage. I would think a Raccoon would taste like badger.

Give that to somebody drunk and stoned and they'll eat out of it.

And a Shinner bock to go along with that.

Good luck with releasing them after you trap them humanely....last time i tried that, the sorry bas tore me up when I let him out....it's been lead poisoning for them from then on....and they WILL destroy an attic in no time flat.
