Ok that thread title got everyones attention :lol:

Rocky the racoon reappeared at the homestead last night. Around 2am I heard something on the roof and went ou tot investigate and the lil bugger was up there tryin to get into the opening we patched up in the summer. I managed to chase him away and go back to bed, but an hr later he was back.

Chased him off again, but now all the cats are awake and fired up and hoping for breakfast so theyre all in the bed having a grand old time while I am trying to sleep. of courdse this has to be on the day where I have to be up early and am working a double shift :lol:

Take the BB gun out and give him a 1 pumper to the rear end. The sting will chase him off but shouldn't break the skin.

Or wait until you have to call the roofers back...

Good luck with Rocky...

Hell yea. We had a pack of them trying to break into our bird feeders out back. The bird feeders are only like 20 feet off the back porch. So my brother took our pellet rifle and gave them a big surprise. They didn't come back.....

He also caught a squirrel doing the same thing. Can you say headshot??? :lol:

yeah we got a neighbor up the street that takes care of that. I told karen I was going to engage in chemical warfare now and make some explosives and blow the fucker up, she told me I am on my own paying to replace the roof after I blow it up :lol:

[CrazyKell]

I have racoon's too.

My apartment is the attic of a century house. The roof outside my bedroom window has been desecrated by racoons. I hope like hell they don't get in!

[AquaPython]

i think there are three or four of them squatting in the foreclosed house across the street from me...

my problem is they did get in the attic. There was a good sized hole in the roof they used to go in the attic. was like that right away when we moved in. What I thought was strange was the hole is right over the bedroom and the head of the bed so you can hear everything theyre doing up there. Had they tried going in over the dining room we may never have known theyre up there.

This one must have been one of the old occupants since he was scratching away right over the spot we patched. When we first repaired it we put wood over it before we got time to shingle it and we did see scratches on the wood so we knew they were trying to get in.

Paintball gun You'll know right away if it's the same one then. :dthumb:
Got problems with birds and bats here. They get in and can't get out, so they die.

interesting, neighbors may start to wonder why theyre seeing colorful racoons rummaging through the trash :lol:

We do have a lot of birds here but were right on the bay so they have tons of places to nest then come into our ares to eat. havent seen anything as far a sbats down this way but am sure theyre out there.

Back while I was camping one night, we had an idea to make a purple coon. We put water in a balloon with a lot of purple food dye in it, covered the balloon in peanut butter, and hung it about 3 feet off of the ground. Next morning, the balloon was popped and there was a ring around where the coon would have been.

put some KFC in a trap. oh wait, racoons not black people. nevermind.

Thos elittle fuckers have been busy. When i went home last night I figured let me check and see what they did in that corner of the roof. They actualy got through the roofing shingles and some of the wood we put down as a temporary patch (it was only some balsa wood we had laying around) and there was a hole I could fit my fist through. Fortunaltey not big enough for them to get in yet but was damn close.

karens brother is comming over next sat to look at it since hes a roofer by trade and will fix it properley, I moved some of the tiles back and secured them and put some wood over the whole and screwed it down. I then sprayed the racoon repellant spray I bought all around the area so hopefuly thats enough to keep em away.

I also found the pellet gun and its locked and loaded :overkill:

screw bb guns and not breaking the skin; those bastards can get mean (we had one around here last year that actually chased my wife into the garage and cornered her in there) - get some target .22 rounds and put one of THOSE in his ass. Enough to break the skin, sting like a bitch, AND chase him off if you're worried about killing it (and very quiet too; the ones I have are really short and sound like a pellet gun going off).

He won't come back around once you give 'em a second ass hole.

Thats a thought, I also have a large section of pipe outside and will prolly take a knife out with me too on the odd chance he comes at me, because if he does I will kill him. I have almost immediate access to the rabies immunoglobulin and vaccine at woirk and will bring the carcass in for it ot be tested.
