Special Delivery… Raccoons Galore !!!


racoon

We had a special delivery today…
You see….We’d been hearing some odd noises up on the roof.. and in the attic.. (and I’m not talking Santa here.)
Not too long before all the clomping around…Mamma had seen a great  big fat raccoon   waddling across the street. 
This…. coupled with the fact that our garage door had been left open just a crack while some clothes were drying… helped us deduce that she was probably scoping out the hood… and decided to campout ..at our place…
Aren’t we lucky….
So we called in the Professionals…
( We weren’t about to mess with a crazy ass raccoon ! )
So Tom  from Critter Control came out and accessed the attic…
