Raccoon is dumpters

Hey,

Alot of people have the mentality that if a raccoon is in a dumpster is CAN get back out. In most cases, not true.

If you ever come cross a raccoon in a dumpster, you can try putting a plank in it or even a chair works. In most cases the best is too call Animal Control.

During the summer months, I probably had about 3 calls a week concerning raccoons in dumpsters. In the summer months, a dumpster can heat up very quickly and will cook the poor raccoon.

I always think of the poor raccoons, who were never found it time, who died by getting crushed alive when the garbage trucks comes.

I should also mention, if anyones work place, has a garbage bin outside of their work, please check everyday to see if any coons are in there. I know it is more in the summer, however in the winter food becomes scarce and garbage bins are the perfect meal for a hungry animal.

:lightbulb:Wow that is something I never would not have thought of. I have never seen one in a dumpster but I know I would have "assumed" it could get out on his/her own.

Thanks for the tip.

Never thought of that either! Something else to look for. I do however listen in the dumbsters for any meowing...now I will think of our wildlife as well.

and possums and skunks and the stupider cats and maybe some two legged mammals if the economy gets very much worse

and not to forget squrriels. Had a squrriel in my apartment building dumpster. Was leaving for work at 6am and heard this commotion. Called work and was like "yeaahhh, I might be a bit late...squrriel in dumpster here" Of course Boss understood.

Got the little guy out:)

*L* You sound like my Landlord. She just wanted to leave it in there, with a "i'll deal with it later" comment. I was like "uhh..no. She knows what I do for a living.

Yes, I know they can be a "nousence", but they still feel pain, suffer, go hungry, etc.

Here is a link for you. It is a product called Shake away.
