How do i discourage the 'coon orgies on my roof nightly? Woke up last night to a sound from the attic that sounded like a flock of birds landing on my roof. It scurried across the attic very fast (too fast to be inside the attic on blown in insulation and beams) and too loud to be on insulation so Im assuming it was the roof. We heard a squeeking for about 30 seconds and then all went silent. Wife thinks the coon momma left a little one on the roof and it was crying so she came back up and got it. Darn things can scale a stucco wall with their claws. No trees overhanging the roof so obvious avenues of approach are taken care of. Must be climbers. Wife said we boys gotta pee up there. Sounds simple enough? I said let me put a tray of Prestone's sweetest up there, but wife had a cat die from that so she's against the poison. I saw a 3-some up there rolling around with a flashlight one night. Critters were going at it! I hit them with a hose. Talk about a **** block!

Any terrible things happen next days: Damn breaking, killer hail storm, bridge collapse?
I have some land in the country. Mostly timber. If I catch a opossum, it goes right there. One opossum will eat as many as 5,000 ticks in a season. If you know anything about Missouri woods, that makes them an asset. Haven't had any coons around, but they wouldn't be quite so lucky.
I can see me firing a gun at 3 in the morning and having 12 cops and a helicopter swarm my residential street. Not an option.....
Not related to coons , but a few yrs ago , I woke up to the sound of something walking on my roof.
I cold tell it was 2 footed, and had claws , it took about 7-8 steps then stopped , like it flew off. I aint got a clue what it was, but it had to be pretty good size to make that noise thru the 2'' foam insulation below the metal .-----??

That's got to be some of the funniest shat I've read in a long time.
BB or Pellet guns are silent and will get the job done...
BB - no goNever saw a BB gun, and very few pellet rifles that will take out a coon. Pretty tough animals.
no, LOL^^Moth Man^^

THEY HAVE 1200 FT PER SECOND PELLET/BB GUNS NOW , BEEN LOOKING AT THEM --------
Now its armadillas tearing up the lawn outside my , cant catch the bastards , they do it at night !
It will ricochet right off the armadillo and could take an eye out.
I have dispatched many armadillos using 22-Shorts. Just have to hit them in a vital spot. Larger rounds do more damage, so do hollow points, but aren’t necessary if you hit the mark.Never had to eliminate one, but I have heard at least a .22 Mag for those critters. Friend of mine said he shot one with a .22 4 times, before pulling out his 9mm.
