I hope you aren't handling them! Certainly not with my bare hands. The first one I picked up with a plastic bag, the second one I used leather gloves to put it in the bag. My neighbor has been having problems with rats and put some poison bait out under his house. It is possible that the raccoons got either the bat, or one of the rats. > > ann > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO raccoon PS: the other one died too
That was a big problem a few years ago, when we experienced a rabies outbreak/scare. People, and I use that term very loosely with any creature that will do this sort of thing indiscriminately, put out poisened bait for raccoons. Raccoons, or any other mammal for that matter, with rabies will ignore food. All that was accomplished was a lot a orphaned raccoon kits and not a few dead dogs.

That is unsettling. It's good, of course, that they won't be destroying your home, but I have to wonder if they might have gotten into some poisoned bait somewhere. I know animal control generally only deals with domesticated animals, pets and such. But, they might be interested in a situation like this, just for the possibility of a rabies outbreak, or the fact that someone in the area might be using poison. -- Walt On 12/13/2010 1:57 PM, Larry Colen wrote: I don't know what killed them both, but if I don't hear any noises up in the attic for the next couple of days, I should try and screen off that hole. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO raccoon PS: the other one died too
I caught a faint whiff of something bad, and checked the attic. I found another raccoon, full grown, just inside of the entrance above where I found the other one. unartistic shots of a dead raccoon: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157625592134064/ Fortunately, this one hadn't started to stink. I don't know what killed them both, but if I don't hear any noises up in the attic for the next couple of days, I should try and screen off that hole.
