Once again, a raccoon, I assume, has found an new entrance

Critter accessing the soffitsIt has been a few years since the last raccoon has found a way to get into the house again, but it looks like one has made an entrance again. 

I’ve tacked up heavy galvanized screens, screwed aluminum panels and trapped and trapped and trapped them over the years, but the raccoons that live in our area  can’t be deterred. This time we’ve only heard a noise once and I quickly set a trap, but the remnants o Hurricane Helene has set me back. 

I’m not sure once I trap this guy just how I’ll patch up the soffit this time, but might go with the vinyl soffit backed with some pressure treated plywood. Stay tuned.
