Got a raccoon family out of a brick chimney in Tacoma and it took 8 hours.

Honestly, the mom had wedged herself behind the damper and wouldn't budge until we used a live trap with cat food, so what's your best trick for stubborn wildlife?

Ever try a bright light? Shine it right at them and most critters will head for the dark in a hurry.

Man it's funny how we all find these weird little tricks that work for specific things but then you notice the pattern is just about animals being predictable in their own way. Like my cat will only come inside if I shake the treat bag, but if I just rattle a regular plastic bag she doesn't budge. Same with my buddy's dog who hates the vacuum cleaner but can sleep through a thunderstorm. I think critters just have these super specific triggers that make total sense to them and none to us.

Used to think loud noises were the answer, but a smelly tuna fish sandwich has gotten me out of more jams than I care to admit.
