We have 2-3 guns but I don't know how to use them and my husband is at work when the raccoons are poopin'.
That said... we cleaned up the poop that was right up next to the house and there isn't any new poop yet after 3 days. My hope is some other neighbor killed them.
I see all sorts of comments now (I probably notice them more because of going through this, and 2 other previous raccoon incidents) about raccoons being cute, and being humane, and not killing them, and seeing a photo on someone's FB of one sitting on their deck. And I know they have never had a raccoon problem or they'd want to murder them just like I do. Raccoons can kill pets (and even humans) because they have invisible roundworm eggs in their poop. And they can get into attics and live there, and they won't pay rent unless poop counts as payment. I got lucky and they didn't use the attic as a toilet.
