[Neighbors] Raccoons

[kingkb via Neighbors_nobhill-nm]

I've read several responses and wonder if we should look into the
"official" recommendations (rather than relying soley on our own ideas).


I called about these critters a year or so ago when considering
putting in a pond or fountain. Learned racoons will smell and come after
the water, even if it is stored below ground. Hence, no water features
at my place. 

Also was told that racoons are protected (might want to
look into that before getting independent with mitigation). 

Was also
told that "Critter Control" has a contract with the city to trap and
remove them. No cost to the home owner. 

I haven't recently verified
this - but thought it was worth sharing, especially since their being
protected could complicate things 

Anyone out there up for checking to
see if my info is valid?

happened. Went and turned on the outside lights and blew my kill your
eardrums whistle. Next thing I see are 2 raccoons running down my
ancient oak tree and off into the next yard. I fear they attacked the
sweet birdies in the tree. Has anyone else ever seen humongous raccoons
around here? I live on the 300 block of Hermosa NE. Thanks.
