I rent a room in an old haunted house. My landlady and housemate are settling into old age and a bit kooky. There are raccoons in the walls around the bathroom. I'm always complaining about the unsanitary side of the situation.
The solution they gave me. My landlady will use her cane to hit the floor when she hears a raccoon. She also sent the old guy down to have a talk with the raccoons. I was told he asked the raccoons to stop bothering me. Problem solved.
They are back this morning.
