Jeri- Thanks; we've done that, but the racoons (raccoons? has two c's I think)keep multiplying. We put one of those whistling things inside the attic-they moved it to another location, farther from their chosen nest. We moved it back, and they unplugged it!!!

Finally, we put speakers inside at various locations, and played rock music- heavy metal. That worked, but we ourselves couldn't stand the loud music either, so had to turn it off- and the raccoons moved back in.

Stopping holes helps for a very brief time; raccoons chew another hole almost immediately, while we're out of the house.
