Do Your Own Pest Control: Living With Raccoons

If you own dogs, you tend to know the difference between a friendly bark and an out-an-out "Get Out or I'm Gonna Hurt You" bark. Well that's exactly what we awoke to this morning at 4:30AM.

Seems that our Shorthair, Beddie, found herself a new playmate trying to find a home under the deck to our house. Not such a bright idea for the racoon, but made for a fun morning for the dog and is making an even more entertaining morning for me. So I've placed the bait, no tunafish here or fried bacon, just some plain ol' sandwiche meat...I hope he likes ham...to be continued



Q: What do you get when you cross a raccoon with a skunk?
A: A dirty look from the raccoon.
