I hate these things. Just a couple months ago we had one get into the attic after it pushed a gap thru one of the “returns” under a gable. Female, produced three kit’s and cost me almost $4000 to get rid of it and remediate the attic after the filthy thing was driven out using male pheromones. I had multiple opportunities to shoot the damn thing but I didn’t think my neighbors or the county sheriff would be pleased. Anyway, I hate them still....
Someone I knew had one in the basement up north.
It was about 50 lbs and he couldn’t get a good shot. Ended up strangling it with improvised numchuks.

I worked for a number of years in an old, drafty steel mill (built around 1900 or so). I never saw a single rat the whole time I was there. But boy, the raccoons. They constantly got into the garbage bins around the mill, and made quite a mess.
It was also a bit - shall we say - startling to go to a bin at 3 AM and see a raccoon staring up at you. In those cases I would choose another bin. He could have that one.
Odd that management never thought to install garbage binds with secure lids.

Thank you - nasty creatures. They will rip apart an entire flock of chickens for fun and just eat one of two.
They’re to be killed on sight.
