there is this racoon that has been hanging out LOUDLY on my roof for the past week.

and chasing it with a hockey stick just didnt cut it.
those animal conservation people said that there is nothing we can do.

antifreeze.

start feeding it, and slowly build up a relationship of trust. then, when it's all used to you, and it's eating out of your hand you can poison the little fucker.

^unless if sally gives her rabies first..

raccoons are so darned cute. I want one.

I have 2 cats and they claw at the door when they want in. Last night I heard one of them at the door so I let him then right after that I heard the other one, I opened the door without looking and it was a racoon sticking his head through the door. Scared the crap out of me . Kinda scary too cuz he was right behind one of my little buddies. I wonder if he knows I saved his life, he owes me big time :kimmie: RACOONS ARE EVIL! :finger:

Leave some drano soaked bread where she can eat it.... that will get rid of her right quick.

Or you could call the SPCA, but I don't know if they can do anything...

hot watter, or even water from a hose pisses them off. It will not make them go away totaly.

just make sure there's no food for them about he area... and then put bleach on the garbage. The bleach is not there to harm them,,, but rather to stop them eating crap.

i had like a family of racoons on my porch one night. i took my paintball gun out and shot the shit out of all of them. i have yet to see another racoon near my house.

Scarface · #12 (**permalink**) Mar 12, 04

Drano? Thats cruel.

Call SPCA , or some similar organization to come and set a trap. They will catch it and release it far away from your house.

A bit of meat marinated in antofreeze will kill the fucker, or you could go for the more visceral fun as Doom does, and kill it with a sword.

GIVE IT TO ME
My dog is 3/4 dead. I need a new furry thing.

Sariel · #15 (**permalink**) Mar 12, 04

^^

Umm.... racoons don't really make good house pets..... they tend to wreck the place

M!SKA · #16 (**permalink**) Mar 12, 04

It will get along wonderfully with my squirrel. I promise.

ash1ee · #17 (**permalink**) Mar 12, 04

i wish i could just a have a real pet.

i also wish i could get a full nites sleep without sally prancing all over the roof above my room.

crazy creatures.

apparently there is nothing we can do...except let it be on its way.

Crazy Dave · #18 (**permalink**) Mar 12, 04

you just need to date Goat from this board,,, he's hairy as any animal you've ever seen.

Goat · #19 (**permalink**) Mar 12, 04

Thanks for the promo Dave.

bucktoothed and peniled folk need not apply.
oh ya, forgot, i don't date ravers :soak:

shorerider · #20 (**permalink**) Mar 12, 04

not so. bucket of gasoline. the fumes will drive it away, albiet at a slight fire hazard to yourself. We had racoons in my carport in our place in whistler. then they had babies. ugh. also try those things that you plug in to keep mice away, that make that noise that you can't here. and the hose trick.

I think it was in like the winter of 1994 when we had that huuuge dump of snow, we had a little fella living in our carport. So my mom decided to put a box with a blanket out there for him so he wouldn't get too cold, and we also left some food out because there was no where to find food with all that snow! He was soooo cute, we named him Rocky =)

After the snow melted, he was on his way, and he never came back. And the cute lil guy didn't even tear up the blankie we left for him = )

(I'm such sucker for animals!)

racoons are crazy and can be hella vicious, so watch out

one day at the place where i volunteer at, this guy brought in a dead racoon his dog attacked during the evening so that we could feed it to the eagles
it was my job too bring it to the eagles, but we had too do some stops before we got there so i was playing round with it, making it dance, wave at the kids and swinging it by it's tail...it was great fun
but alas the eagles didn't eat it, and a couple days later the racoon was filled with maggots and this kid i dislike at volunteering had to clean it up...SUCKER :moon:

ahh good times...raccoons are cute, their feet look like turds
