    Default Raccoon issue...

    So my 2nd mom's house is being infected with raccoons. She lives in Aurora, very close to Tollgate creek and also has a pool in her backyard as well as grapes growing everywhere. I'd really love to just shoot them but the cops may frown upon that.

    Trying to not have her spend money on an exterminator. Thought about traps but trying to not spend too much on that as well. Ideas?

    I "accidentally" left several trays of D-Con out when we were having raccoon issues. A few days later, the D-Con was mysteriously gone, along with the raccoons. Intentionally doing this would be frowned on by DOW, and probably the city as well.

    Get a couple of box traps. Then drive them up to Bailey.

    I know where I would let them loose up there.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    You have to catch and remove or they will keep coming back. If you need help let me know, i use to be a exterminator.

    Medium sized hav-a-hart trap and some peanut butter. It'll cost you about $30. wear some thick leather gloves when you move the traps. damn things will try to rip you fingers off if you don't
