Got any suggestions on your ridding property.....and your attic.....from raccoons?
I have 22 suggestions.
From my experience, once they move in, shooting them or hiring professionals to trap and remove them is about your only choice. :(
Nothing really ‘deters’ them. They’re as stubborn as Honey Badgers, but a lot less vicious at least!
And once they’re gone, you need to repair their damage and shore up your attic from future invaders.
I spent over $12K cleaning up my attic and ridding it of bats (had to be humane; they’re protected Brown Bats) before I could sell my old farm. Beau has just done work on our 3rd floor house gables to keep bats out.
That Mother Nature! She’s always trying to run us out of town, LOL!
Raccoons. We tried over 30 years ago catching them with live traps and moving them. We just had too many. Then a guy hubby worked with was a trapper and we gave him permission. He laid traps along our creek and in a few weeks got over 40 of them. The next year not so many. Now we just use a .22 They just do too much damage. If you have a lot an trapping is legal I would find someone like that. Plus it won’t cost you anything.
