I hate raccoons, they are mean ass creatures... I had some in my attic last year and every night it sounded like there were grown men playing football. Finally got some people to come over and get them out, there was 5 of them. They tore up my duct work and AC unit up there and I had to have the attic cleaned and all of the overhang around the house replaced so they couldn't come back. They got in through a screen in the overhang that they ripped out.
