The trapping place we're using says we can't really do anything about
raccoon smell...they're placing traps to get the critters, but I'm
worried about long-term smell. Plus they told us the critters pee where
they nest, so our basement ceiling would have to have a bunch of --
maybe all the -- drywall replaced??? And there's a closet under the
stairs that supposedly has a smell...I didn't notice it, but there were
some powerful plug-in aroma things in the house, so I'm not sure if this
is new with the raccoon[s], or if this was already there and just
thoroughly masked.

Any ideas on getting rid of raccoon smell other than replacing our
basement ceiling? ;-)

Thanks

Antything that seals the surface will help. Shellac or a pigmented sealer
like "Kilz" is fine if you can figure out a way to apply it - brushing it on
is best. It does come in spray cans, so it's fairly easy and inexpensive
to try a spray treatment. You can always tear the ceiling out if the simple
things don't work.
