Wait For Me, Mama! The little raccoon was stranded in the garage of the D. L. Lanes of 1527 Woodland Dr., when his mother and two other babies moved into the attic for the evening. Later the mother raccoon urged the little one up, and the whole brood settled down for the night by 10 p.m. The ammonia treatment didn't work in this instance. According to Mrs. Lane they will probably just have to wait until the intense summer heat drives the raccoons out of the attic, then the Lanes can replace the wire mesh on the attic vents which the mother raccoon apparently destroyed in order to get inside. The raccoons come in from the woods every year about this time. Mrs. Lane says they are really cute to watch. She just doesn't want them in her attic.
