When hubby Neil opened the basement door yesterday evening, four raccoons were sitting on the top step. Three of them ran back down into the basement. This one crawled into a corner and tried to blend in with the wood. It didn’t move or even look at us, probably thinking ‘If I can’t see them, they can’t see me, so I’m safe.’ We just recently discovered this family of critters living underneath our house. They’ve pretty much destroyed the insulation, and they’re causing a major stink in our house. Moth balls helped for a while (but that smell was about as bad as the raccoon stench). Neil has found their entrance holes, but he has to make sure the critters are out of there before he can plug up the holes. If we can’t get them out soon and plug up the holes, then I guess we’re going to have to call Raccoon Busters and have them trapped and taken far far away.

He does blend into the wood :0) They're cute, but they can be such a pain in the butt. The Sissoms are dealing with raccoons pulling up the sod they had placed in their front yard. They pull it up to get to the bugs and grubs underneath. Leighton has already trapped and relocated two of them.
There ya go! Call Leighton! That raccoon is so funny! I wonder why it didn't run with the rest of them?
That is hilarious!! Poor guy! Bet he's scared to death!! Hope they relocate asap :-)
