RE: Raccoon problem.....
quickest and probably the only fix for this time of year is a havahart live trap. people say the wise up to them, but if you relocate the trapped ones, it doesnt matter if that coon wises up. i had a similar situation as you at one of my old houses, and i can honestly say i caught a coon or possum inmy trap every single night for over two weeks. use a apple slice or two, and two or three jumbo marshmellows. great combo, that will draw em in, for sure. shouldnt take more than 2-4 weeks to catch and get rid of most of those coons as long as its legal to relocate. any stragglers come coon season, call me and my buddy, hes got a mountain cur that would probably die of happiness if it ran up on that many coons.
