Apparently some raccoons have taken up residence under our deck, we see
the kids poking their heads out. I am thinking about letting them hang
out, but my wife is concerned that they may destroy things. Any
comments? Best way to get rid of them if needed?


I'd get a Hav-a-hart trap, their largest, and trap and relocate them.
They will at least be a pain trying to get in your trash or bird feeder..


I saw a clip on America's Funniest Video where a raccoon stuck it's head
inside a pet door,snagged a throw rug lying in front of the pet door,and
hauled it out the pet door(with some effort).
It had stolen a couple of their throw rugs,that's why they set up the
camera.

We have 2 doggie doors, and never a intruder.

Racoons avoid yappy dogs
