so i have some unwanted tenants
that are living up in my attic
it's a raccoon
so what i'm gonna do
is
put the speaker
up here like this
and i'm going to place some guns and
roses
because maybe axl rose's voice
will be enough to drive them nuts and
get out of my attic
and i got a trap outside
i'm kind of hoping that i could catch it
and relocate it
make sure it doesn't get hurt along the
way
so uh
just gonna find a good place to put the
speaker
so i'm gonna try to find a good place to
put the speaker
and
play some gnr
i hope that axel rose's voice will scare
him off
so wish me luck
[Music]
there we go
got the speaker plane
and uh hopefully i can get rid of
people's raccoons out of my attic
[Music]
so here's the trap i have down here
later on today um as it gets darker i'll
put a hot dog in there
because i think
they're coming in
through that
i don't know if you're able to see it
but underneath the flashing there
where my gutter is
looks like they tore
through it
and got into my attic through that way
so
i believe they climbed up these gutters
here
so what i'm gonna do is
try to catch it
hopefully gets hungry and
sees the hot dog and goes for a debate
so wish me luck hopefully i'll catch it
well here is the guilty party
i finally caught you bud
i know you're scared
but you got nothing to be worried about
because i am going to find a safer place
for you
yep
so i found him last night
i set up this trap last night
i put this well he ate the bone but i
tied down you can see the string
i tied down a t-bone
inside the cage
and um
he took the bait
so
i'm gonna see if i can relocate them
to the to a better place a place that's
more suitable
i don't think my attic was a very
suitable place for you bud
it was suitable for you but not for me
so i'm gonna get you relocated all right
there he is
looked a lot bigger in the attic
all right so
we're gonna let go this guy right here
okay watch out buddy i'm not gonna hurt
you
send him back to a better habitat
[Music]
come here buddy
that's not my head
don't get bitten
those suckers rabies go buddy
go go go go go go go buddy
buddy you got to check you don't want to
go he'll go he'll see you guys
make a run for it
so buddy
put the cage down and see if you're
gonna help us
damn yep just put it down nobody's going
in the wrong direction go buddy go go
buddy
go buddy
there he goes
there he goes to his habitat in total it
took me about three days to trap that
raccoon and what was not shown in the
video was that
um even initially when i put the hot
dogs down he would take the hot dogs and
he was smart enough not to set off the
trap and that happened for about two
days
until i finally wisened up and i took a
bone from a stake it was an actual
t-bone and i tied it to the trap so that
it would force the raccoon to actually
go into the trap a little deeper
and hopefully set off
the the trap so that the door was shut
behind him and that's exactly what
happened it took me three days to
finally catch him
so
um what i learned from this well number
one the music did not help
um
although i played loud music guns roses
it didn't scare him away he came back
he he actually liked guns and roses so
there you have it the music did not help
but what did help
buy me time was that i sealed off
the hole
at night because raccoons are nocturnal
animals what they do is they go out at
night to scavenge to find food so i
waited till about nine or ten o'clock at
night i went up the attic and i saw that
he was gone
and so i i sealed off that hole
and by sealing it off i knew that he
couldn't get back in so it bought me
some time
so what i did was i put the trap outside
and um
and i wasn't worried about not catching
him because i know that he couldn't get
back inside because that hole was sealed
off
so with that said um do not panic if you
have a squirrel or a raccoon
in your attic or in your house
because
most people panic and they call these
pest control companies and they charge
them a lot of money you know they get
away with charging you anywhere from
three to five hundred dollars
usually the average cost is about 500
bucks to seal off the hole
and to set the trip
um you can buy the trap on home depot
amazon or or anywhere
lows for 60 bucks all right so 60
dollars for a trap
and um you can seal off the hole
relatively cheap
now if you don't feel comfortable
climbing up the ladder
then don't do it pay a professional to
do that because trust me an ed visit
will be much more than 500 bucks
but if you conceal it off from the
inside the attic without having to climb
a ladder
that would be even better
so do not panic and if you can do it
yourself
go ahead and do it don't spend
500 bucks or more
to
have these um these companies come out
just to set a trap
you can more or less do the same thing
for much less you know save that money
give it to the church give it to the
poor
or buy gifts for people you know that's
what i rather be doing versus getting
ripped off
so with that said um hopefully you
learned something from this video and
enjoyed it

day
