I swear to you all that I will not rest until that freakin racoon is dead... City services won't come out for racoons any more and want me to rent a humane trap at my own expense.... not bloody likely...

I've tried poisoning it... I've tried throwing stuff at it.... I've got my Louisville Slugger next to the door in case I see him...

Little bastard has been eating the wood on my deck and shed and garbage room... Then rips up all my garbage and spreads it around... This has been going on all summer...

Last night I hid my garbage behind my BBQ on my upper deck (where I've never seen the racoon go).. sure enough the little bastard got into it and spread it all over the deck which I just painted... So now I have cat turds all over my deck...

Not only that .... WHY ARE HIS FEET ALWAYS MUDDY!!! I have a white deck and walkways... nothing says awesome like a white painted deck and walkways with little brown paw prints all over it.... I even have muddy paw prints looking in my basement window... I mean sure... I'd want to watch my TV too if I were him... but this is your last warning racoon.... I'm going to sleep outside this weekend... and if I so much as smell you coming you're getting a 9-iron in your skull....

So... Yeah.... What were we talking about again?

    No pests in my place, and I would set a inhumane trap for the raccoon, Ive run into them in the wild and man can they be vicious, I would not want to try and bring the thing somewhere if I caught it.

    I'd probably play mind games with the raccoon, gain its trust until whammo!

    I have a mouse problem at home.. Field mice, damn they are small and hard to trap..



    I say you shoot the raccoon Batty, at least it would be a quick death for it..

    I had a mouse get into the house last week and put out traps. It ate a fresh package of poison (smelled it through the factory sealed container)...so it's probably dead somewhere. But no action in the traps yet.





    For a racoon, I would probably go with some kind of trap. And then kill it. The amount of poison you need to kill a racoon would be substantial. I don't think they fight a lot, so the anticoagulants in rat poison won't work, probably. If it's rabid, you don't want to go toe-to-toe wielding a baseball bat.



    You should probably get a trashcan that you can actually keep the lid closed on, or pull your trashcan into the garage. Racoons love trash.

    no pests.



    I would kill the raccoon slowly and painfully! I hate those rat bastards. Last time me and Steph went camping we went into the tent for like 10 mins to lay down. We had a huge roaring fire and everything and 3 damn coons stole our whole bag of marshmellows which we were just about to make smores with!!! ARGH!!! I wanted to kill those rat bastards so bad but they are fast and I can't see in the pitch black dark.

    parents live in the country... we have more problems than just raccoons. we have bears get into our garbage.



    my room was infested with bird mites earlier this year. if you dont know what they are, check them out on wiki or something. lets just say that it sucked horribly. u all have seen the pics of my room. well, i had to remove EVERYTHING and spray my entire room. it turns out that they came from a bird's nest that was sitting right outside of my room. fuckin birds!!!

    I used to have a family of tree squirrels that lived in the suspended ceiling of an old apartment. They chewed up the phone and cable lines so I only got utilities right where the wires came into the unit. One day it chewed a hole in the ceiling itself and got into my bedroom and couldn't get out. Those suckers are fast. And they jump like fleas. Remember the Killer Rabbit scene in Monty Python, where it jumps in a straight line, like it's on a string? Tree squirrels are like that, in real life. Squirrelbeam. It's like a MM weapon.



    Currently we just have some stinkbugs. They're lethargic, easy to catch, and if you just use a pair of bottlecaps to gently encapsulate them they generally don't discharge.



    But they get in ANYWHERE. For such relatively large bugs (about the size of a nickel) I don't know what holes they're finding to squeeze in through.

    You'd be surpised, Dan. Most insects like that can get through gaps narrower than a penny width.

    wow, you guys are way too violent, it has just as much right to be there as you do, please don't kill it.
  • dangevindangevin
    Animals don't have rights. In a natural sense, none of us do. I think you're applying societal norms to something without consciousness.
