We had a problem w a stray cat repeatedly digging up our vegetable garden. We borrowed a live trap and caught the irritating excavator. We drove a mile up the road and released him behind a hotel where he could get room service.
In our old house in Illinois over the years we trapped raccoons(mom and 3 babies), possums,skunks and even one really mean ground hog all taking runs living under our deck ugh… We had squirrels in our attic here but it was in the spring so they were able to do the one way hole and then close up all the ways to get in.
