The skunk/racoon and deer "problems" exacerbate when there is a sudden and
continued loss of their habitat. We humans are multiplying at a staggering
rate and we have this need to search out and destroy natural habitat for
ourselves to build trophy homes, more and more strip malls, automobile
dealerships, and fast food franchises. The animals that we displace are
simply looking to "make a living" - we all have to eat. Now who is the
"problem" in this situation?

Buy or rent a big have a heart trap, bait it with cat food and haul off the
critter after you catch it. It is recommended that you carry it a far
distance. Keep in mind that these big guys can be dangerous so careful.
They can be very destructive to properly. My mother in law lost part of her
roof to raccoons trying to remove it to gain access to her house. They did
nest in her chimney and raised a family. They started on the new roof and
we
decided to take action, better for her and the raccoons.
In some states it is unlawful to trap them without destroying them, so
........what the state does not know won't hurt them.
