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.

Raccoons are pretty big, have to be awful big hole somewhere which would be obvious even for clueless looking at outside of their house. Rats and squirrels can chew holes but even them can be seen by looking around at roof. One guy about 4 years ago knocked on door said there was rodents in area in attic’s. I said don’t waste my time and you’re just leave.
