Wildlife Control

So, Mama raccoon and her two babies were still there this morning. So, I called AAA Wildlife Control and (after re-arranging their schedule) promised to send someone out late today to deal with the issue.

Around 4:00, Chris came by, and when I opened the door for him, there was a raccoon at the front door!! Turns out, it wasn't our Mama raccoon, but another larger one that was strolling around the neighbourhood.
Well, Chris managed to get Mama's two babies out, and put them safely in a box away from the nest. Mama took off, but within 20 minutes or so, had come back to pick up her babies and take them somewhere else. Chris sealed up all the entrances to the nest, and chased Mama away when she came back 3 times to try and get back in. After a couple of hours, we were sealed up, and raccoon free.
Although the whole experience was a little expensive, I think it was completely worth it. And Mama and babies were not harmed in the process. Hopefully, they are safe and happy in a new den in someone else's yard.
