Dying raccoon in my garbage can -- what to do? (1 Viewer)

I saw a baby raccoon crossing the street this morning. One life ends, another begins. #raccooncircleoflife

 
Some guy from the town showed up, according to my wife. I'm skeptical because he charged her 85 bucks to take the dead raccoon away. I'm pretty sure she must have just called some pest control service or something. In any event, my wife's purse us 85 bucks lighter and the raccoon is gone. The garbage can is out by the curb exactly where it needs to be for the morning when the garbage pickup comes, so basically we just wasted 85 bucks.

This time it really wasn't my fault. This was my end of day report. Had I been consulted, the garbage men would be picking up coon carcass tomorrow morning.

 
$85. AWESOME.

Wish I could demand on the spot payments when asked to do my job (which I'm sure is funded by the taxes you've already paid).

Just classic.

 
Lol at paying $85 to get rid of a dying racoon in a garbage can. Should have just ignored him. If he was smart enough to get in, he should have been smart enough to get out.

She sure as hell ain't thrifty.

 
Disinfect the can for what? Is your trash going to get rabies? Are you frequently falling head first in to the can in a drunken stupor?

Cant you just throw some bleach in? Why throw it out for no reason?

 
I am always amazed at this place.

I would've thrown the bag on top, closed the lid and let the garbage guys dump him in the morning...that is...If I didn't care if he lived or died. But you've been fighting for years? Toss some newspaper in and set it on fire. Or just use a shovel to cut his head off. Be all humane and run a hose from your exhaust to the can. Drop a cinder block on it. Cover the top in saran wrap and let it smother. Create an elaborate death-maze ala "SAW" and have some fun tipping the can over into it. Pour some bleach and ammonia in the can and close the lid. Stab it with a steely knife. Dig a hole...dump it in...fill the hole. Take it to a bridge or other high structure and dump it out. Dump a container or two of antifreeze in the can. Fill the bucket halfway with water (not all the way...they can swim) and toss a hair dryer in. Build a small campfire and put the can on top of it (metal can?)

Seriously will probably just throw it out. Which is always really annoying to do, because you have to tape a sign to it telling the garbage men to take the can.

Garbage men are good peeps. I put a sign on my ex-wife and left her at my lawyers office, but they evidently won't take her and billed me $300 on top of it. I shouldn't bang on lawyers too much, they took my garbage can w/o me having to put a sign on it along with a bunch of my other stuff.

I thought Otis now came with Otisdog. I would hate to see his pet lick a can potentially covered in saliva from a sick coon. I presume Otisdog has run of the area and can get to can.

Did you seriously just let it bake to death in a garbage can?

Well the sun was setting so the baking part was done. It just dealing with the lingering impact of dehydration. In his defense, he did call the city for help…about 2 hours after the close of business.

I don't get the "fighting them for years" part. If you are at the point where you can't outsmart tiny woodland creatures, you may want to consider ending it, Elmer Fudd.

No advice, but i did find an 8ft black snack coiled up in my trash can a few weeks ago. I'll never open the lid again without checking for snakes.

Do you have a snake detector? :popcorn:

Only acceptable outcome...

Close. I tipped the trash can over in the middle of my driveway. I used a hard rake to pull the trash bags out of the can. When only the snake was left in I poked it with the rake and it slithered out but on top of the side of the trash can that was facing up. I swung the hard rake into my trash can and the prongs went around him, basically pinning him to my trash can. I then got an ax out of my garage and chopped the head off as well as splitting my trash can right in the middle. The snakes body slithered around for about 15 minutes with its head completely detached.
