Racoons can get fairly cheeky. I had two on the deck going at the bird
feeder one night, opened the sliding door and yelled at them and they
would not leave. So, I got a can of wasp spray, the kind that will put
out a 20 foot stream, and blasted them with it.


Last summer someone noticed something up on my roof during the day. I went
outside and looked and there was a raccoon under the gable where a piece was
loose. And another one lying in the gutter. The one in the gutter saw me
and looked up, and rolled over and went back to sleep... When they re-did
the gutters the foreman mentioned to me there was a big pile of crap in the
gutter in the back of the house. He asked me if I'd had a homeless person
up on the roof.
