Found a furry little friend sleeping on one of my balcony chairs the other morning.
So got the Terminix folks in to lay a trap.
The technician was saying I have the perfect set up for them; sheltered and secluded.
So you add in the fact that this was the first day I put the seat cushions out (he was lying on the seat cushion with his head on the back rest pillow) and it probably seemed like a freakin' five star resort to him!
Anyway, we got him this morning. Couldn't resist the all-you-can-eat buffet. Or as the technician called it, a can of tuna.
And even he seems to be wary about reaching down to grab the cage.
And there he is. Trapped like a.....raccoon.
Now I know where the expression beady little eyes comes from. Yikes!
Pretty sure he's thinking, "So help me if I get out of here, you're a dead man!" Yikes again!

hahaha, I'm surprised you haven't had to evict any of these guys before. Why didn't you iust get your broom and evict him yourself?
I tried. Yelled and waved my arms five feet from him. He lifted his head up off the pillow as if to say "...what...?" I threw hot water on him and he shook his head (while not moving from the cushion) and he gave me a "duuude, be cool" look. When I came out and threw the second pitcher of water he finally ambled off. Well, up the tree on to the roof. But I knew he'd be back.
And yet, no broom. Why hot water? will the captor release them elsewhere? Must be young buck out on his own... you haven't seen babies?
Rob he did have to evict one a few years ago that was living in his grill. lol!
The Critter guy said he will release him far away. And I won't tell you what my country friends said they all do with them.....
When I lived downtown I kept a supply of sugar cubes for my sling shot. They got a sore arse but it didn't kill them. I found ball bearings went to far and likely through someone's window. Now in the country, we aren't as kind. Especially, if your a skunk. Them little buggers don't swim very well.
