Comment on I trapped a raccoon in my chimney. So... what now?
Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoThat’s probably the most sensible option once they open in the morning but I’m open to alternatives. I have a trap that I caught a possum in once but I’m not sure I can rig it vertically onto a chimney.

just block the chimney off at all possible known entrances and exits til morning,

I think it may be better to rig exit only door?
If trapped they will start to cause additional damage.

It’s a 100 year old house with a 3/4" cast iron insert inside a 2’ thick brick chimney that’s sealed at the bottom so the 10lb raccoon is probably going to do more damage to itself than my property while it’s in there. At this point I’m more concerned about the larger one I just chased away that might be its mother.
