Other than spiders I prefer to put errant (errant in my opinion) critters back in the wild. For mice indoors live trapping worked well. Toss them in the truck and let them out in a field on the way to work. No doubt they made it home before I did.
Had a little problem with Raccoons. Hay bigger live trap.
Know what? Raccoons don't have that white strip runs down the middle of their backs.
OK, now what.
This is when you find out who you're friends are.
This is when you find out that even if you discharge them from a safe distance they come back to near full power right quick.
This is when you find out the a wet skunk is even worse to deal with.
Some how we got to thinking that beer would help.
By about the time we figured we had gotten the skunk drunk, well...
Well, you see, we just weren't worrying about it all that too very much any more.
One of those, 'you would have had to have been there'.
