This is a relatively new scam to our area. If someone approaches you or a neighbor, do not engage. Do not let them in your house or attic. Instead, contact a reputable exterminator. You can use these very pages to find a good one.

Very true - scammers will take every opportunity.
We've had raccoons in our attic twice, and they were clearly audible both times (although if you're hard of hearing...)
The cost of eviction and clean-up was $500 each time.
