While I have seen a few skunks around my yard over the years (and, remarkably, one white skunk just out from my front porch), I am more concerned about raccoons. I'm sure I have one making a nest in my attic. I hired a wildlife control 'expert' who put traps on the ground near where he thought they were climbing (a downspout; and he was right, because I watched one climb it one night). We caught a few; he relocated them (plus one possum). Never any skunks. Now, some years later, I need to get rid of this raccoon. How? Will the repellents recommended for skunks also work for raccoons? An article about raccoons would be useful.
