I've been battling raccoons in my crawl space for a couple of weeks now. As a result of business travel I've not been home much (only late friday night through early monday morning) so the little bastards have knocked a hole in my louvers covering the opening to the crawl space and taken up residence. It's okay until they wake up around midnight like clock work to head out for the evening. Noisy little f-ers. I've called a trapper who has baited traps on the roof of the house. He claims to use a bacon block of some sort. Once they're out I'm considering bricking up the crawl space
(yeah yeah I know that's not good for the house but I'm moving anyway! haha).
