Racoons

Anyone have any idea how to get rid of these things? We have one that keeps hanging around our deck in the back yard.

A .22 usually works. If you are afraid of drawing attention, subsonic rounds are quiet.

Varmint-cong.

My parents had expensive Koi fish in their backyard pond. The raccoons kept coming and eating them. After months of frustration (I even had one charge me while I swung a bat at it) ... they tried fences, grates, traps, lights ... they finally realized how to get rid of the raccoon: stop putting a meal in the backyard.

its great fun to shoot them with bb guns

The idiot who lives across the street feeds these things. Came from the country into the suburbs. Has his house backed against the woods. We've lived here for 3.5 years and didn't have any kind of problem until he moved in.

Sounds like you have another use for that shotgun

Works great on stray cats digging your garbage too.

I'd shoot them even if they weren't digging through garbage. Well, maybe I would take pity on them. It has to be rough going this long without another hit.

Suit case nuke should take care of both of your problems in that case. Afterwards your skin should radiate a very healthy glow as well. The advantages just keep piling up.

You might try calling a humane removal service.

They can usually come out and set a few traps with bait. You check them a couple of times a day to see if/when the raccoons get caught and they will remove them and take them out to a wooded area.

Or you could just shoot them.

Try sexually assaulting it. Even if it doesn't result in the raccoon leaving, you've then found a consistent way to satisfy your racoon-banging urges

They wanted $129 to "analyze" the problem and then another $59 when they caught it. Outrageous to me.

Buy a cougar or a bobcat, that'll solve your problem.

These are so dumb. We don't want your damn raccoons out in the country either.

Those damn things get into the feed storage for our cattle and tear holes, which leads to spoiled feed.

When we catch a raccoon in a live trap, there are two options.

1) Execution. Usually I'll stick the barrel of the gun into the cage and it will start biting it. Pull the trigger and the bastard is dead.

2) If I'm feeling like giving it a chance, I will release it. Only problem is I release it directly to a dog that is ready to attack. The dog always wins.

In other words, if I catch a raccoon in a trap, the punishment is swift and severe.

teabag it. they hate that.

spleen1015 · 05-02-2007, 09:57 AM

A bowl of anti-freeze on the deck will take care of it.
