Raccoon in my room

I like how its looking up and to the side kind of like, "*whistles* nothing to see here! Move along". It's almost like he's trying to hide behind the table legs.

Current options:
1. Get that raccoon off the pole and out of your house.
2. Make it rain singles $$$$$$$$$$$

Just lol.

I hate it when wild animals post up in your home like they pay you rent.

To answer the questions:

lol we can't get rid of them cause animal control says "it's not a wild animal". The other guys want to charge $400 just to set traps...lol
we have a big tree that they climb onto to get into the house, aslo $400 to chop down.
the raccoon can't be stopped, with all doors locked on the 3rd floor, it dug yet another hole into the wall and into the atic.
They have been here for about a year or more.
it's way of paying rent is pooping everywhere...sometimes on my bed for some reason. It's poo looks like a big dogs poo so I am aware when it happens.
lol I clean my room on weekly basis, it may seem messy but the only reason they come in here is for the heat. It's cold where I am and I use a room heater. Bag of chips isn't helpful either.

All said and done, they're here to stay...moved to the next room and they're already digging a hole to get some heat...

Wow. I would cover up that hole if I were you.

Get a shotgun. So much cheaper than $400 and easier than traps. Being on a farm with raccoons and opossums trying to eat our chickens, we've had to either shoot them or set up a trap often. If you don't like the idea of shooting them, you can find small animal traps for like $20 and it works well if you put a open can of cat food in the trap. Leave it overnight or a few days and you'll have one in the trap that you can transport away. Let them go 10-20 miles away or they might come back. I think you should try to get rid of them though and not let them stick around. Raccoons often carry rabies and they can be very mean, especially come spring and they have all those babies following them around and are extremely protective of them.

No, if you get a shotgun, the bullets?(im not sure what they are called) goes and flies everywhere, and soon, you will have many holes in your wall..
Just get a lighter and scare it out of your house. if all else fails, throw the match at the raccoon and run outta your house

I'm aware of the way a shotgun shoots in a spray, I own one. I'm saying its the most effective and quickest way to rid of it. A lighter will only make it angry and come after you. If anything makes them feel threatened they will attack you and trust me you don't want that. I've seen how they can get and its not funny, it's scary.
