I've only had to kill 2 for mercy's sake. I can catch ~4 cotton rats a week. We have plenty of snakes, but they don't keep the population down.

I have no clue. Not too many racoons around here.

If 'twere me, I'd probably call the pest service, but there's no guarantee racoons wouldn't come back. Sounds like a $50 trap would be a good solution if you're not too squeamish about catching things. Then you could re-use it if you had another visitation.
