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.
