After removing 13 raccoons from this same house on 3 different service calls over the last 3 years, and a full attic cleanout and deodorization, my customer still refuses to pony up the money for my company to make the necessary exclusion repairs. Attached is a photo I had to share showing one of the worst homeowner repairs to keep raccoons out I have ever seen. The crazy thing is that this homeowners profession is construction! I don't mind the money as he always pays the bill, but it is quite frustrating to go back to this same place year after year for the same problem. I gave him the friend price this year on sealing it up as his live in girlfriend has about had it, and he still wont go for it. I'm tempted to do it for free Anybody else have homeowner repair photos worth sharing? Jacob

Carpenters, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, etc all hate working on their own places/stuff, or worse is paying someone else to do what they know they can do themselves, even if they don't want to do it. LOL

It's the free stuff that always end up biting you in the behind.
This is a customer you can apply the adage, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink" to. Remember that it is his choice to accept the repairs, not yours. Regardless if you know the repair is the correct course of action, if you make an unauthorized repair to his property you can be held accountable for any issues down the road.
For instance, you make the repair and now he has raccoons doing damage to another area on his property. If he wanted to, he could claim that the new damage is due to your work and not only get the animals removed at no charge but also the repairs. While this may seem like a far fetched tale to some, all it takes is right lawyer and if you don't have any written authorization to perform services you could be found at fault.

From the pic the place looks like a shack,the coons will find another way in no doubt.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
