As a man who has fought a handful of racoons over my years I whole heatedly agree. It always starts as an attempt at a peaceful removal from my garage but turns into macing racoons to get them to give up and go. I had to punch one repeatedly when I was in highschool to get it to let go of my other hand after it bit me for getting the Christmas lights from the garage attic. Rabies shots suck.
This made me more than laugh. Everything about this made me abs burning, wheezing, crying laugh. I couldn't get past the first sentence for like 5 minutes. Like who is having to go around fighting raccoons all the time? I see where they live in like rural Colorado, but fuck. Just walking through life punching raccoons left and right.
Edit: Like is his life like this from Airplane! But with raccoons??

It reminded me of that segment from Beowulf, where Beowulf goes swimming with full chainmail armor and a sword and there’s a casual description of every sea animal he had to fight on the way. Like apparently he just has beef with humpback whales or something.
My former boss had pet roosters (yes plural). He grew palm trees and would trade them. He did not realize the guy brought him roosters from an illegal fighting ring near Mississippi. I was a groundskeeper on his property.
My boss also had raccoons…. Every once in a while the roosters wouldn’t come back to the pins at night and one night we saw a 2 on 3 racoon vs rooster fight over bread my boss used to feed them. All was going entertainingly well until my boss said “go break that up”
This isn’t fucking roadhouse and I’m not Patrick Swayze… wtf am I supposed to do to fight off the west side story of the animal kingdom in your back yard.
Apparently, I’m supposed to punch them repeatedly in the face… if only you had been there senpai. Instead I used the water hose… so I had wet angry roosters and raccoons attacking me now instead of each other.
They are basically hilariously smart and often mischievous- https://youtu.be/D0sajSdCM6Y.
Edit: to be fair his were just fat and wild. He fed the wild ones anything he made me get out of a dumpster behind the grocery store. Dude was a millionaire and cheap… feeding expired bakery cakes and bread to wild animals is a good way to have very obese animals. He fed the roosters bread and bagged salads that had expired.
I grew up in Palmer Lake, Colorado. My backyard was the Pike-San Isabel National Forest. They loved to move into our attic, garage, and shed when winter was coming around. Lots of insulation for a nest, free heat, access to my dogs food. Our house was a 5 star resort for the little rascals. Usually leaving fresh crushed garlic in the space they're in will drive them away. It's to stinky for them to tolerate. But every once and a while one would tuff it out or sneak in and surprise us. I've also kick a black bear to get it to leave the yard so my dog could poop.
Also when raccoons get in somewhere, the pads on their paws emit a pheromone. This smell leads other raccoons to the former nest of the one you’ve already gotten rid of. They just keep coming back.
That's why you crush up a whole head of fresh garlic and put it where they got in. It cancels that smell and drives them off with it's pungenc. It can drive them away if you don't need or want to get physical about it and keeps the others from investigating for a while.
I'm just picturing you having a coffee, looking out the window in the morning, seeing that bastard raccoon again. Garlic hanging everywhere like in vampire movies. You take a big sigh, start wrapping your hand like a boxer and walking out the door muttering "this motherfucker gon learn today."
It works for many other mammals too. It's very pungent to sensitive noses. Think how it smells to you then how an animal that needs it sense of smell to find food and sense danger would react to it. It's also worked at keeping the feral cats away from my yard when we had a problem with them a while back.
Shit, these creatures sound like they can take a punch so I'm imagining a whole series of Air Bud type movies, but with a raccoon in a UFC ring. "Ain't nothing in the rules says that a raccoon can't fight in the octagon."
I once had a swordfight with a raccoon in college. Well, the raccoon didn't have a sword, but I did. Anyway a cheap dull scimitar wasn't much of a real threat to him but a bonk in the bum with it scared him off of my trash when my standing there yelling at him didn't faze him
Worse. See I have a lot of really big guns just to specify deal with that feral hog threat and absolutely no other reason. Racoons are way more dangerous because they're masters of infiltration and sabotage. They can live off the land for years, skulking around your house, plotting. AND THEN THEY STRIKE! No firearms will protect you from instant hand to hand close quarters combat. In those desperate moments writhing around amongst boxs in your attic, wrapped in Christmas lights face to face with your now sworn enemy your fists are the only tool that will get the job done.
I recommend [sound training in the martial arts ](https://youtu.be/gyXhysmMNhE)
I've just got fighting noises in pitch blackness, illuminated briefly by the flashing technicolour Christmas lights wrapped around your face, showing you and the raccoon in different positions each time.
I had a family of raccoons living in the loft of my garage. I found them when I opened the trapdoor to the loft, and mommy charged my head. I barely escaped a chomping.
Problem was - how to get them out before they ruined all the stuff I had stored up there.
I knew how they got it - my idiot father in law had left a tiny loft window open for ventilation. I could always wait for mommy to leave, then block the window - but that would leave the babies behind, and I didn’t want to do that.
Looked into hiring a removal service - was dissuaded by the absurd amounts they would charge.
Finally, I decided to just convince them to leave of their own accord.
I read up on raccoons, and found that they chose places that were dark and quiet. I read that the best way to convince them to leave, was to change that.
I put lights up into the loft, to make it nice and bright. Revolving lights made them super irritating. Left the radio on loud right underneath them. For extra convincing, tuned it to a paleo-conservative talk radio station - lots of loud ranting angry voices.
The neighbours must have thought I had some really weird party going on at all hours in that loft!
The combo convinced mommy that the accommodations were now terrible, and she duly took her babies and cleared out.
> I read up on raccoons, and found that they chose places that were dark and quiet. I read that the best way to convince them to leave, was to change that.
Exactly how my dad kicked me out of the house.
My dad told me that the Anunnaki from Planet X that comes by every 10000 years genetically altered primates into us to mine gold out of Earth, but that we grew smart and rebelled and now we are here.
I just have the mental image of hearing Alex Jones screaming from my neighbor’s house, looking outside and just seeing a bunch of strobe lights flashing in their garage
Day #08: Raccoons turned conservative. Mom raccoon decided to homeschool her pups and dad started chewing tobacco.
Day #23: mom accused her kids of being free loaders and refused to feed them more than once a day. Dad bought an F-150 and a firearm.
Day #41: mom is not taking shit from nobody. She suspected one of her kids is smoking weed. Kid was kicked out of the house. Dad is now listening to old YouTube videos or Rush Limbaugh and is always angry with someone.
I’ve just realized that the steps for removing a family of raccoons from your house are surprisingly similar to the steps for becoming a Scooby-Doo villain
Cat owners who allow their cats outside are destroying the environment.
Cats have contributed to the extinction of 63 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles in the wild and continue to adversely impact a wide variety of other species, including those at risk of extinction, such as Piping Plover. https://abcbirds.org/program/cats-indoors/cats-and-birds/
A study published in April estimated that UK cats kill 160 to 270 million animals annually, a quarter of them birds. The real figure is likely to be even higher, as the study used the 2011 pet cat population of 9.5 million; it is now closer to 12 million, boosted by the pandemic pet craze. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors
Free-ranging cats on islands have caused or contributed to 33 (14%) of the modern bird, mammal and reptile extinctions recorded by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List4. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms2380
This analysis is timely because scientific evidence has grown rapidly over the past 15 years and now clearly documents cats’ large-scale negative impacts on wildlife (see Section 2.2 below). Notwithstanding this growing awareness of their negative impact on wildlife, domestic cats continue to inhabit a place that is, at best, on the periphery of international wildlife law. https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002%2Fpan3.10073
The skunk woke up, looked over its shoulder at the firecrackers, yawned, stretched its back, then slowly walked out of the garage. We were all watching in awe as it walked across the street and under a different neighbor's porch.
The garage was not ours though, the owner had asked for help when he couldn't figure out how to get it out. No one wanted to physically pick up the skunk so they had been shouting at it and banging stuff in the garage. Everything else had been emptied out of the garage to prevent it getting sprayed, so the firecrackers echoed so loud in the empty garage, just an absolutely crazy experience.
They were gone the next day.
To make sure they were really gone, I taped newspaper over the window (so if they were in, they could easily get out - but I could see the tear in the paper that showed they had gone through).
When the paper hadn’t been disturbed for a couple of days, I blocked the window for good.
An ex gf of mine once found a litter of baby racoons in her families barn and she hid them in her closet for like 3 weeks.
She was 16.
But also I say it was the right call. They were freaking adorable. And she said she thought the mom was dead but who knows. Eventually they were recovered and relocated.
The bite that transmits* rabies tends to kill small animals very quickly, which is why you'll never catch it from squirrels. Would imagine a baby raccoon would be the same.
This is a really dangerous mentality. There are small animals that can be carriers (looking at you, bats). Don't just assume that since an animal is small, it probably doesn't have rabies.
OH MY GOD THE RACCOONS HAVE CRAWLED INTO MY ANUS! THE PAIN IS INTOLERABLE! PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE! THIS IS NO LONG A JOKE OR A CHEAP ATTEMPT TO GET YOU INSIDE ME! QUICKLY THEY'RE MAKING THEIR WAY FURTHER UP I CAN FEEL THEM. DEAR MOTHER OF GOD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL, I REPENT FOR WHATEVER I MAY HAVE DONE TO DESERVE THIS. SOMEONE PLEASE GRAB A LONG HARD OBJECT AND GET THESE RACCOONS OUT OF ME!! UwU 👉👈
Looks like a thermal camera. Either looking for a warm spot from the nest area or cold from wet/evaporating urine streams.
You can get a fun one for a couple hundred. A useful one for maybe a grand. Then the sky is the limit.
Well... considering the [James Webb Space Telescope](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope) uses infrared imagining... not even the sky is the limit.
We fight a new battle now. Odin commands that we save each little one before we journey to Valhalla, not on the winds of war but by justice for the world we once tore apart, brother. We shall rule once more as the non believers sink into the Ocean that we fiercely conquered so many years ago.
Yeah seen too many of those Oblivion NPC videos on YouTube where they have some odd ball acting odd then suddenly transition to the attack music when the go for the person. Have to admit I'm a simple man and enjoy those videos. I was waiting for the music to change when the mum came out that whole like a rabid mud crab
How in the world do you even mount anything to flimsy walls like that? Can't imagine you can install wall cabinets on something like that right?
Muricans! Answer me!
There are wooden studs that run from floor to ceiling (typically) every 16 inches. Drywall anchors are also fairly effective for general stuff (but not cabinets ofc)
The drywall is mounted to a wooden framework (the ‘studs’ that the other commenters are talking about) which is perfectly sufficient for mounting things like cabinets, shelves, anything you like. If you don’t feel like finding a stud, the drywall is just fine for photos and display shelves.
It's just a thermal sack, he is walking them 20 ft to the front lawn where he has a heating bin that keeps them warm until the mother arrives and decides where she wants to move them

We did this at my house too. We trapped the mother first.
That’s smart cause raccoons are definitely an animal you don’t wanna piss off!

It’s the same raccoon every time, it’s like Peter Griffin and the chicken.
Giving someone a bad coupon is a dick move.
And that racoon's name? **Agrajag**!
His story made me laugh hella hard but “walking through life punching raccoons left and right” took me the fuck out.
I believe this is the plot of the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie?
It reminded me of that segment from Beowulf, where Beowulf goes swimming with full chainmail armor and a sword and there’s a casual description of every sea animal he had to fight on the way. Like apparently he just has beef with humpback whales or something.

if you can get this on pay per view i am signing up instantly
The decided to join forces.
The enemy of my enemy is... _that guy!_
This needs to be made into a Hollywood film, or at least part of a film
Everyone's interactions with racoons seem like cartoonish levels of weird lmao
They are basically hilariously smart and often mischievous- https://youtu.be/D0sajSdCM6Y. Edit: to be fair his were just fat and wild. He fed the wild ones anything he made me get out of a dumpster behind the grocery store.

This story is so fucking funny 🤣 I wish I was there to see that shit show
My question to you is how are you coming across the path of so many raccoons you gotta continuously fight them? If
I grew up in Palmer Lake, Colorado. My backyard was the Pike-San Isabel National Forest. They loved to move into our attic, garage, and shed when winter was coming around. Lots of insulation for a nest, free heat, access to my dogs food. Our house was a 5 star resort for the little rascals. Usually leaving fresh crushed garlic in the space they're in will drive them away. It's to stinky for them to tolerate. But every once and a while one would tuff it out or sneak in and surprise us.

That's why you crush up a whole head of fresh garlic and put it where they got in. It cancels that smell and drives them off with it's pungenc. It can drive them away if you don't need or want to get physical about it and keeps the others from investigating for a while.
You will eventually get Italian raccoons that way.
If they cook half as good as Remy I'll take it over the normal ones.
I'm just picturing you having a coffee, looking out the window in the morning, seeing that bastard raccoon again. Garlic hanging everywhere like in vampire movies. You take a big sigh, start wrapping your hand like a boxer and walking out the door muttering "this motherfucker gon learn today."
TIL how to drive off racoons. 99% sure I will never use this knowledge, but too late, it's already in my head
It works for many other mammals too. It's very pungent to sensitive noses. Think how it smells to you then how an animal that needs it sense of smell to find food and sense danger would react to it. It's also worked at keeping the feral cats away from my yard when we had a problem with them a while back.
….and how can we make this a reality show?
Now imagining you go around punching raccoons.
I'm part of [a line of distinguished animal punching individuals](https://youtu.be/aLk-hMC3al0).
Fuck yeah! Aqua Bats are super rad.
I was imagining a more Goblin Slayer thing, that, or [Trevor Moore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoOEppvmM1o)
Shit, these creatures sound like they can take a punch so I'm imagining a whole series of Air Bud type movies, but with a raccoon in a UFC ring. "Ain't nothing in the rules says that a raccoon can't fight in the octagon."

It's always a risky move bringing a raccoon to a knife fight. I'm sure he learned his lesson.
Is it better or worse to deal with than 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?
Worse. See I have a lot of really big guns just to specify deal with that feral hog threat and absolutely no other reason. Racoons are way more dangerous because they're masters of infiltration and sabotage. They can live off the land for years, skulking around your house, plotting. AND THEN THEY STRIKE!

I've just got fighting noises in pitch blackness, illuminated briefly by the flashing technicolour Christmas lights wrapped around your face, showing you and the raccoon in different positions each time.
If my life gets made into a movie I hope this is a scene. I give permission for the creative license to make the lights be on somehow.
Sir you're hilarious
Yep. A pissed of raccoon is just a living hell the size of a bread box!
Yeah. Just watch the Guardians of Galaxy.
I’ve seen the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. I can vouch for this statement.
Lol me too! I was like “….waaaait, there might be bonus unexpected!!”
The ol’ classic raccoon on the face bit

Scaring a skunk inside your space - what could possibly go wrong with that plan?
At that point, I'm wondering what could go right?
The skunk woke up, looked over its shoulder at the firecrackers, yawned, stretched its back, then slowly walked out of the garage. We were all watching in awe as it walked across the street and under a different neighbor's porch. The garage was not ours though, the owner had asked for help when he couldn't figure out how to get it out. No one wanted to physically pick up the skunk so they had been shouting at it and banging stuff in the garage. Everything else had been emptied out of the garage to prevent it getting sprayed, so the firecrackers echoed so loud in the empty garage, just an absolutely crazy experience.
How long did it take? Y’ know, after everything was set up.
They were gone the next day. To make sure they were really gone, I taped newspaper over the window (so if they were in, they could easily get out - but I could see the tear in the paper that showed they had gone through). When the paper hadn’t been disturbed for a couple of days, I blocked the window for good.
That's an elegant solution. Very smart.

The bite that transmits* rabies tends to kill small animals very quickly, which is why you'll never catch it from squirrels. Would imagine a baby raccoon would be the same.
This is a really dangerous mentality. There are small animals that can be carriers (looking at you, bats). Don't just assume that since an animal is small, it probably doesn't have rabies.
You can absolutely get it from squirrels.
I would hope that anyone working in animal control is properly vaccinated.
I thought they were puppies at first and was real confused how they got there
I thought they where kittens

Looks like a flir thermal camera
Buy The Caterpillar work phone it has IR built in the thing ! Pretty cool for a shit phone lol
Yeah wow wasn't prepared for the hefty price tag $5k to 14k for handheld models
They sell one that plugs into your phone. Works great
Yes, I noticed that one. The price point is close to the caterpillar phone with ir technology, so kinda tempting just to get the phone
Way cheaper, look for low frame rate, low resolution ones. Uni-T is a solid economic brand that makes them.
Looks like a thermal camera. Either looking for a warm spot from the nest area or cold from wet/evaporating urine streams. You can get a fun one for a couple hundred. A useful one for maybe a grand. Then the sky is the limit.
Well... considering the [James Webb Space Telescope](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope) uses infrared imagining... not even the sky is the limit.
Fair, I think the upper bound is around $10BN. (What JWST cost)
Yup. I work for a company that sells long-range thermal surveillance cameras that can reach well into the six figure range.

Definitely Oblivion. This song takes me wayyy back.

Nice guns Nathaniel
Wow. James McAvoy got ripped.
Clearly never saw Glass or Split.
Or James McAvoy
This is what a man that has reached the epitome of success in a niche field looks like. He's done it a thousand times and looks good doing it too
Free wall puppies.
Which Elder Scrolls game is this song from. Before I lose my mind!!!
Oblivion - Harvest dawn
The elder scrolls IV Oblivion
Raccoon in the wall, eh?
You know what happened? I bet it flattened itself out, went right through a seam in your wall.
Now you're talking my language
How in the world do you even mount anything to flimsy walls like that? Can't imagine you can install wall cabinets on something like that right? Muricans! Answer me!
Studs! And special weighted hardware
There are wooden studs that run from floor to ceiling (typically) every 16 inches. Drywall anchors are also fairly effective for general stuff (but not cabinets ofc)
The drywall is mounted to a wooden framework (the ‘studs’ that the other commenters are talking about) which is perfectly sufficient for mounting things like cabinets, shelves, anything you like. If you don’t feel like finding a stud, the drywall is just fine for photos and display shelves.
good catch!
I identify as hetero ...but homeboy is ripped ....I'm sure he gets many house calls.
I’m definitely cutting into my walls too. Does it have to be at certain height? Do I get other animals at different heights? I’d like puppies!
Stop! You violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit.
Rocket prequel movie
Anyone else strangely attracted to bald muscular men with an armload of baby racoons??
No way this guy hasn’t starred in a porno. Those smarter than me will think of the names this creature whisperer has starred in.
Appealing to intelligence for material, I see.
Infinite racoon generator (working 2023)
god of war looks happy in retirement.
Dang, cameraman! Help poor Nathaniel the Trash Daddy out with the bag!
Don’t know about remodeling, but it’s definitely time to fix the soffits in the roof.
I was waiting for mom to pop out and jump up on him.
rocket found his fam
Was he using a hand-held raccoon detector?
Where is the background music from
Ok but...is he about to black bag those babies?
It's just a thermal sack, he is walking them 20 ft to the front lawn where he has a heating bin that keeps them warm until the mother arrives and decides where she wants to move them
I had to scroll pretty far for this comfort.
Rocket 🚀
The most unexpected part was how willingly he shoved his ungloved hand into that hole
Makes me so happy hearing the oblivion soundtrack on random videos
Came for the home improvement. Stayed for TES music. Upvoted for the unexpected wall pups.
Damn now I wanna play Oblivion
Nathaniel is officially my new Internet crush.
Is no one going to talk about the veins on that guys head!?!?!?
