A Raccoon Comes to Visit

Marlena heard a strange noise in her chimney when she was sitting right next to it.  She called animal control who said to call The Extermiman. She did and he didn't answer.  So we decided that she needed some chimney covers too.  Because if it was a racoon, and they got rid of it what would stop another one from coming down the chimney again.  We called a place I found online.  Chim Chimney it was called.  The dude came the next day.

He didn't see anything, from under and inside the fireplace.  But when he got on the roof, there was a raccoon in her chimney.  A big one he said.  So, back to the fireplace and he used this big stick with brissley stuff on the end and poked the raccoon until he left out the top.  Then he installed the chimney covers that Marlena's neighbor, Danny Rodriguez just happen to have from a garage sale he went to.  He painted them for her too.  People are so kind sometimes.

Then the dude cemented them in place.  He was a funny dude but a bit dirty according to Marlena. Really, you work in chimneys and you are dirty...

Anyway, the next day Nick was walking to her house after school and saw the Raccoon on the top of the chimney.  She couldn't get in.  I don't think Marlena is going outside in the backyard anytime soon at night!

This is a pic of Marlena if the raccoon happen to get in to the house with her...

This is a video from my bud Doug from school.  He has a raccoon he trapped.  He is kindof a Bad A**.  He was going to get rid of this one.  He didn't need to call someone else to get rid of it.
