Customer Raccoon Email: Dear David, I want to thank you very much for all the info, (lots of details I sure didn't know). I would really like the raccoon or raccoons to leave my home and stay wild. I don't know what you call it
(the space between upstairs & downstairs), but that's the location. Access was a loose shingle around the chimney. I saw one stick it's head out, I closed the back door (softly), so I guess the coast was clear. and he went on about
his business. They are sooo so cute But from the series "Little House on the Prairie", I know they can carry rabies and also hurt people ( & pets). Same source told me they are trainable. I doubt any of the "wild" animals were truly wild. Thanx and bless you, Pat
My Answer: Thank you for the nice note. I think the space between floors could just be referred to as a ceiling.

The raccoon (Procyon lotor), is a common urban animal, and native to North America. Raccoons are easy to recognize, with a black mask and ringed tail, as seen in the above photo.
Raccoons tend to weigh between 10-20 pounds as adults, and live an average of 5 years. They are mostly nocturnal, and are omnivores, and will often eat pet food or garbage. They have
become very acclimated to living in cities and urban areas. They are very strong, excellent climbers, very intelligent, and they are very skilled with their hands, which causes them to
commonly break into homes and attics, where they cause considerable damage, and they also destroy other property, and thus raccoons
are considered pest animals by many people, which is why I remove them. If you want to learn more, please read my How To Get Rid of Raccoons page.
