Evening all,
Just had an exciting day. Last night our neighbour came over to tell us, something had ripped open our gable vent. I went out and checked and wow...half of it ripped open......Racoons!!!!
Nancy had woken up during the night earler in the week, thinking it sounded like someone was on the roof....now we know!!!
So we called the local Humaine animal control people to help us out. Just after he arrived, he discovered the gable vent on the other side of the house was ripped open too. It seems this is the time for recoons to build nests and have ther babies.....5-6.....
He then went into out attic where he found an immature female...and was unable to presuade he out.....so he sealed off all the openings and installed a temp one way door, with some peanut butter as a lure....so she can come out but not go back in...
just what we needed ....
so we will find out tomorrow morning if the trick works....
now back to packing...
