From the attic in the middle of the night, two young raccoons burrowed their way into Al-Hillal's kitchen. "We heard scratching and that ... and water was running," said homeowner Zak Al-Hillal.
The raccoons feasted at the fruit bowl and were less than friendly when the homeowner discovered their "crime." "We were really scared because the mother jumped on us and I didn't know what to do," Al-Hillal said.
So Al-Hillal and his wife ran to their bedroom, barricaded the door and dialed 911. When police arrived, Al-Hillal threw the keys to them from a balcony and let the cops shoo the raccoons out. Officials say the homeowners should have seen this coming. They had a hole capped in their roof the day before.

If you wanna get raccoons out of your house, turn on all the lights and open your door to the nighttime. But don't try this with a possum. You can turn on all the lights and bash them with a broom and they'll just hiss at you. They're dumber than gators.
An aligator will usually run if you light things up and give it a chance to escape. Good info to know as there is a gator in a nearby drainage canal and retention pond system. She's just a youngster eating snakes and nutria until she gets old enough to breed and swim back to the reservoir to mate.
