Nancy, about your coons.

Probably isn't news to most of you, but coons can do pretty well in a Midwestern city, too. I had a coon living within inches of me for a while, in a city mobile home trailer park. It dug under the skirting, ripped a hole in the bottom of the trailer, & moved in (just below the floor), for a short while. Didn't have to trap or kill the coon- it just left every night, so remedy was to toughen up the skirting late at night. Good luck with the coons, Nancy.
 
Since I"m inside the city limits, no hunting or shooting allowed. I would like to have a "pasture dog" that wouldn"t chase my barn cats or nip at the horses. I"ve only seen one and they wouldn"t part with it.
 
I had a family of coons living under my deck for awhile. They didn't really bother anything. One day a stray dog came by and smelled them and proceded to try and dig them out. He sure tore up a couple of boards. I decided it was time for them to leave. I called the Conservation Office about trapping and since my deck is only about six inches off the ground they said they could get the mother but the babies would die under there. They gave me another number to call. It was a wildlife rescue place. They told me to spray down the deck with water every night about a half hour before sunset. Coons like a dry den and they said she would move one baby every night to the alternate den they keep. Sure enough after three nights they were gone. Haven't seen them since.

Handful of marshmallows, live trap and an arrow with a broadhead is all you need if you are worried about "noise"...
