Well, if they left, they are back. And I guess that since they no longer have the tree to play around in they decided that my roof would suffice.

All night long these rodents were chasing each other around on my roof, and in the process, driving my dog nuts, which resulted in very little sleep for me.

Now I need to decide whether to risk arrest by shooting them, or taking out the dog.

Even had an issue with raccoons? How did you get rid of them?
