Here's a new one for ya. The other day a past customer had me do some dead limbing on the peoperty. Once finished, she asked me if I'd be interested in getting rid of a raccoon living in her tree.
I suggested live catch box traps set at base of tree. She said they tryed that before and cought several cats. They stopped after they got a skunk. She tells me they called a few pest control places but they wanted way to much money: $150 to set the trap, $100 for an adult and $50 for each young raccoon caught & relocated.
The customer was dead set on haveing them gone and asked if I would set a live catch trap in the tree!
I told her I've never done this before but would give it a try. So for $100, (and I keep the new trap), I'll climb this big old oak tree and set a trap. I've figured out a way to release the trap from its anchored position in the tree and lower it to the ground from the ground safely.
Its maybe a 25' climb so no big deal on my part.
Just wondering if any of you guys ever had an odd request such as this before???
