Wildlife Removal - Traps set

Even with a positive trap set over the opening, the trap remained empty for a week. I started to think that this extended stand-off meant that the female may be long gone. Perhaps something happened to her when she was out foraging, maybe hit by a car, maybe trapped in some other location at another house. I inspected the attic to see what was going on. To my surprise, she was still up there! I also saw the one of the juvenile raccoons found himself in a pickle. He had fallen through a drop ceiling in the laundry room that had a tile missing. I placed the little raccoon in a screened off area in the back fo the trap so he could not accidentally set off the trap and secured the trap inside the attic
