Drew,

For your pest problems I suggest you contact Mr. Wagner. The Japanese have had
him in consulting on their monkee problems and I understand he recently was in
China helping them with their bird problems, and ate squab as a result. Jack,
formerly a specialty roofer in Georgetown, DC, now seems to be in the network
of exotic pest control. He also used to broker animated movie cells, owning
most of _Yellow Submarine_. Even if he can't help on the raccoon front he can
at least tell one hell of a story.

As for our raccoon problem on the LI South Shore -- one night I hit one with
the van, threw it in the back & brought it home. It was a bit dazed and could
not get out of the yard for about a week. One night I heard a noise out back
and when I turned on the light there were 15 raccoons, stunned by the sudden
glare, looking at me from the picnic table area... seems they like to
socialize. After a blight of distemper the population dropped and we hardly
see them any more. You might also consider spraying your garden with Bobcat
urine.
