One time I heard a lot of commotion in my backyard and couldn't tell what was happening. I heard it just as I was going to sleep and it kind of freaked me out so I went to grab the flashlight. When I shined it in my backyard there was a group of at least 10 raccoons standing in a circle and in the middle of the circle they were all watching 2 raccoons doing sexxxy time! These were some Florida meth head freaking sex raccoons or maybe they were just showing the others how to make babies?
Be careful Koods. If this happens to you then you won't be getting sleep anytime soon!
Also be grateful that they are not trash eating opossums because those are some nasty beasts for sure.

I thought for sure it would panic and run out whatever hole it found to get in but instead it was curious about me and got within a few feet. I yelled and stomped and it just kinda looked at me like it knew that it was safe from me being able to get to it. I threw tennis balls at it and it jumped back then started playing with the balls. It’s still up there.

I found the hole I suspect the raccoon is using. Went into the attic to make sure it wasn’t up there and then cut a board to block the entrance. I’m literally two steps up the ladder and the fucking raccoon appears above me, curls itself over the edge of the roof and goes right into the hole. I threw the wood at it. Nails. Yelled. It just went in like I didn’t exist. So now I gotta wait for it to leave again.
If I had been up at the top of the ladder I would have been face to face with it and probably ended up falling 30 feet. The hole is literally the highest point of the roof and it’s three stories above the ground

I might try to lure it down the steps to the attic with food and get it out the door and then quickly seal the hole, although this guy is no fool

Raccoons are fearless, smart, and relentless.
I don’t think you should feed it even as a trick.
I guess if you don’t have a gun you don’t have a gun or if you live somewhere with neighbors right across a wall. Shooting it is so simple. Even if you end up with a hole and a mess that thing is a serious problem alive

I’m trying to visualize this. You have a hole in your roof? Like one that’s going to let water in when it rains?

He has probably had the hole in his roof ever since his new roommate installed an outside door there.

Are you not an animist? Can you not speak raccoon?
Do you think it's possessed or just a lost racoon looking for a new forest home?
Are you going to hurt it? Just tell that fucker to go away. Throw sometime up there that will make it think twice about coming back.
Also- please do not climb up on the ladder without someone down below to support it.
Thanks and be safe

Koods if you dont want to kill it then for real get a live trap. They will work. Put some food in it and wala, next day you have a portable racoon. I live out in the country and had a few I've caught this way and drove county away and let them loose

Wait it out. Don't bait it. Proceed with sealing up

I would shoot it. Maybe trap and relocate, but people fine you if they see that around here. If in a town where gunfire is frowned upon, maybe poison?
The humane thing is the seal deal, but you're going to be doing this anyways.
GL. I once had a squirrel chew it's way in, and destroy my home. It freaked out when it couldn't escape and spent the whole day destroying and chewing my new windows. It made me very sad.

After that sort of confrontation you need to have two men go up there with a sack and a stick to nab it.

No hole in roof. Hole in vent under roof.

Why? If I had been 30 seconds faster it would be done. I’ll check tomorrow if he’s still in the attic and if not his hole gets closed. I see this raccoon outside all the time. It leaves the house multiple times a day

Just yanking your chain, I'm sure it's an enjoyable use of your time and will be satisfying at its conclusion.
