@ai6yr We've been battling them since 2019. So far, they have done $5000 in damages—lifted shingles and actually chewed and clawed through various places in the roof wood to make attic entry when they couldn't bypass other remediation we have done to keep them at bay.

We deal with one colony and another tries to move into its territory.

I try to take it in stride, like with this animated toon intro, that also contains some of our real life raccoon security footage. It gets exhausting. #PaulsRaccoonWar

Last night, a raccoon tried to get inside our home through the dryer vent. #PaulsRaccoonWar

#SissyCat started hissing was the first clue. I think she thought she was about to meet 'the mother of all mice.'

The little feckers.

Tonight, I will probably have dreams of us chasing a coon in the house with the Benny Hill theme song playing in the background.
