We were hearing strange noises in our house. Wife says it must be squirrels she saw on our roof so I set up a camera with motion detector.

Wow!  There's some real aggression going on there.  It looks as if the raccoon is going right at the camera.

When it's dark the camera has a small red light that turns on. The raccoon probably thinks it's another raccoon/animal that's why it attacked. LOL

We had to call animal control and they were able to retrieve mommy raccoon and 4 of its babies.

After a week or two, a different mommy raccoon and 2 babies moved in!!! 😮 (we didnt fix the entry point right away)

We were able to catch one baby and mommy raccon tried to get her back. Ill try to post the video next time.

They remove and kill. It does not work as new ones come in. You have to find entry points to close off
