raccoons around the house
MuleySniper:
Just do what my grandpa does with feral cats, coons and whatever else may be disturbing his peace. He traps with a good sized live cage trap then gives em a swim in his pond. Myself, I prefer my shotgun, but I understand your residential circumstance. :chuckle:

Seth,
A couple easy ways to terminate them without using a firearm in your residential area are:
1, Fill a trash can with water and immerse the entire cage trap in it for about 10 minutes.
2, Put the cage in a thick garbage bag seal it completely pop a tiny hole it and inject a few blasts of ether.

drowning them is a nice quite and easy way to do it, or just a bullet to the head. definety would not move them though as if you are caught they bust ya big time, and theres always a few noisy neighbors lurking about that'll report something like that.

Even though I live in the county, I'm still in a residential area. My answer to loud gunfire is simple. I got a box of CCI Sub-sonic Short .22 rimfire ammo. Not even as loud as my pellet gun. Live trap them, pop them in the head, stick them in a garbage bag and dump them. Quick, quiet, and easy! The neighbors are none the wiser. Sad to have to do it, but you can't let vermin take over your property.

I am in the same boat, I live in the county but in a residental area. I dont feed my dogs outside, but with the bird feeders in my yard and it seems every yard connected to my yard there is adqueate feed for any raccoons. The green belt near our area was recently cut down, and at the same time the racoons started showing up. What I dont want to happen is to let my dogs outside to find them fighting with some disease ridden rodent. :twocents:
