Two human minds were working hard earlier today to find ways to rid of city raccoons which had moved uninvited into the attic of this dwelling.
After much deliberation, the two decided to first make sure the coons were not inside 'their' home by banging loudly at the entrance way and hoping these nocturnal animals were not heavy sleepers. For practical as well as humanitarian reasons, I do not wish to entomb the coons and smell their death for the rest of the year.
Since nothing stirred inside the nest (other than the agitating broom stick), my friend then proceeded to seal the chewed-up hole with chicken wire by using a (non violent) staple gun. As a further precaution, all tree branches close to the house were trimmed back so the coons will be unable to use them to gain access onto the roof.
Your move, coons (yes, this human sounds confident and competitive)!!!

I was tempted to take away the ladder while the two of you were on top of the roof.

I know there are skunks around because I could smile them. But unlike the raccoon family, they have decided not to check into this "hotel".
