Wow. I live in the suburbs, on a wooded lot. One night 3 young raccoons came in the cat door. That was fun getting them out. One kept coming back for a month or two for the cat food. Then there were the two Carolina flying squirrels that got in over time. Plus a few chipmunks that the cats dragged in that weren’t really dead. Chase one of those around for a couple days ... SIGH. The one baby rabbit was cute. The blue-tailed lizards that lose their tails are pretty common in my house. Only had possums and copperhead snakes in the yard, not in the house. The cats usually kill any voles before they bring them inside to show off and eat. The deer don’t bother me unless I pop out the door and scare one that’s 10 feet away. That’ll wake you up.

You don’t shoot raccoons?
