Do you have a net, or maybe an old, thick blanket? If you're going to tackle it yourself maybe wrap your arms in some shirts or something, to prevent bites (with rabies).

He's in a spot that totally protects him... can't get anything around or over him.
About 2-2.5 ft from head to tail.

Animal control will come get him out.
Just hide anything illegal if you happen to have anything of that sort.

Also, racoons are pretty nasty...especially when they feel threatened. I wouldn't try and Indiana Jones rescue attempts. Plus rabies sucks.

Animal Control will deal with it.
Or maybe you can lead him out of the house with twinkies.

Animal control is only 1 person in our town, and they seem to be part of the police... which is not the state agency I'd personally like in my house tonight.

Get him high. His ass will freak out and he will run outside! This is foolproof.

In all seriousness, if you try to grab it with a blanket or anything like that, it will fuck you up...
I would get a bat or golf club and give it a whack to the head immediately after throwing a blanket on it...

Seriously feed him some food. Peanut butter, corn, ect. ect. Open some windows in whatever room he is in. Then try getting him to leave the room by making a path to the windows for him and coaxing him out. Just dont be alarmed or go making sudden movements. Racoons can have rabbies. He will try and get out of there eventually if you want to wait him out.
If he is not in a place that can be sectioned off from the rest of the house or it is where you sleep then you may need to do something more drastic.

guns are a no no here... shooting a gun inside of a house where there may or may not be illegal items is bad, and illegal...
Killing it seems like a shitty thing to do, but if its not near a door you are going to have to at least knock it out- but you will probably end up killing it....

We set up a ladder going to the skylight he fell in from and put some pita bread on the ground. He hasn't moved much in the half hour he's been here but hopefully he'll get restless (fuck you) and need to move somewhere... put 2 and 2 together and just leave...

FUCK YOU, RESTLESS
I guess if you can isolate him in a room and keep a somewhat good eye on him you won't have to kill him...
Don't let him fuck your house up either...

I am sure there are many illegal activities that go on around here. I know guns are not everyone cup of tea and I dont recomend them to anyone that is not responsible.
However hitting it over the head may be worse than shooting it and if it is rabid I would not want to chance it. There is actually some .22 ammo I recomend for small game. Here is the link. It is very quite and will not penatrate walls.
Although it is up to you what you need to do in this situation.
Quite .22 ammo
