Talk to your local humane society or animal control, many times you can borrow a live trap from them for free.

And I used an old ice chest full of water on the last cat that thought it a good idea to hang out under our shed.

One of the only memories i have of my grandpa when he was still around was when one of his cats had kittens. He put all the kittens in a box and walked out to the street where the garbage can was next to a light pole. He whapped the kittens heads off the light pole and tossed em in the trash. I could still hear meowing when he put the lid back on. It was a different world thirty years ago. Id never do that but thirty years ago it was ok to whap a kittens head off a pole and slamdunk it in the trash in broad daylight.

Is Gramps still with us, or has he shuffled off the mortal plain?

Antifreeze man that is your answer, get some put it in a bowl and leave that shit in the shed. Antifreeze smells sweet and I think even tastes sweet but is real deadly. Don't forget to check the shed for the body or the smell will get ya lol. I'm pretty sure this is not a legal way to kill pests but its not legal to grow or smoke pot in over half the states in this country either sooooo ....... not sure those who make the laws have any sense any ways.

...and if you do happen to trap a coon and you don't want to kill it, relocating them on property other than your own in many states/counties is illegal cause of rabies spread so don;t let anyone see you. as @Alienwidow says people will freak and call cops on you if they see you kill anything so be aware. lastly, all those animals are mean as shit when trapped.

When we're out in the country I get fuked alot where the dogs get hold of the varms before I can trap them , it's funny watching my dogs with skunks , the skunk turns around & sprays thinking it's gonna save it's life .

Seeing the look on the skunks faces right before the dogs hit it is priceless ,it's like a skunk with Al Jolson eyeballs , skunk with a flame thrower hanging out it's ass wouldn't stop those 2 dogs , they've caught all kinds of varms .

Btw op , they make industrial bleach that your supposed to use around food or water stores & you need to soak the shit out of everything & wear a dust mask , I learned that the hard way with pigeon shit ,I had guys spray with regular bleach mixed 50/50 before scooping up 12 inch thick pigeon shit off a roof area , most of them got sick as hell & 1 had to be hospitalized , that's when I found out about industrial bleach sold at home depot , shits so strong it'll.make her eyes water .

Antifreeze don't work anymore bro , federal regulations require a bittering agent in all antifreeze where it's not sweet anymore , no animal will drink it anymore & kids can't take the taste either , they changed antifreeze in the 90's I think .

holy shit! drowning and knocking off kitten heads?! wtf!!!
lol you sound kinda like my older brother. he shot the neighbors pet bunny in the head with a 357 because the neighbor accidentally closed the door on it breaking its leg. They didnt want to pay any vet bills, so asked my brother to "handle it"..
one time me and him went riding around in his truck in some fields. He had a few guns with him, like usual. and we were drinking and had the intention of shooting something. Well i see these two ducks just sitting under a tree about 20 yards away, aim, and im like...come on..... i cant shoot these fucking ducks... doesnt seem right. And so now im a pussy.....but then, about 15 minutes later, i see this hawk perched on a branch about 300 yards away. So i decide ill take a shot at it because i know theres no way in hell im going to hit it at 300 yards away with a 22. So i aim about an inch above, shoot, like a whole second went by, then i see feathers fly in the air and the hawk flies away, more than likely died. i feel kinda bad but not as bad cause it wasnt fully intentional.

I think ill try to clean up the mess as best as i can and maybe try a trap. Also try to patch the hole it made.And if that doesnt work, look into poison. All the past comments about it being so close to the water has me a bit more concerned, idk why it took me this long.

Trust me will, im an animal lover. But im a realist too. Wild cats that are destroying the crawl space in my buddies house with urine and ripping up insulation that will be destroyed anyway, i can take care of, im a man enough to take care of that. And my grampa whapped the kittens heads off, not me. I had an expirience like you with the hawk when i was a kid too, turned me off killing animals for fun forever. I was probably 12 and i got my first pellet gun. I saw a robin in the bushes and i shot it. Me and my bro ran over to see if we killed it and it had been on a nest that we didnt see. A bunch of baby birds and a mother bird died because i was a stupid asshole that day. Never again did i ever kill anything besides mosquitos and flies that didnt need to die. I have killed two deer and a moose that have been hit by cars. And i ate the moose...well most of it.

Dart it with a tranquilizer. Cage it up, Let it go in the middle of nowhere as far away from your place as possible.

Yeah I'm a sentimental guy too when it comes to wildlife. I would never just kill something that didn't need to be killed. Being a long time home owner though, you realise that sometimes you have to just handle business. And if they are mucking up your crib then you gotta do something.

A while back we found evidence of rats. Like last fall when the cold was setting in. Been there done that and we put out poison. My wife complains of a dead animal smell and we found three dead field rats behind our fridge. Yuck. But, had they stayed out in the fields there wouldn't have been a problem.

That reminds me. Best to just be prepared. I'll set out poison (away from where the pets could get it) this summer.

I don't do unfixed pets period. I don't do cats anyway, but I assure you it would be fixed in my house. And I don't respect people who turn their family pets into personal puppy mills for $$$$.

I don't hunt, but I am aware of what happens when you allow wild game to overpopulate. I love meat! If ever I wanted meat and couldn't get it from the grocery store, watch about Bamby! I'm coming to get YA. I'll say a prayer afterward, just like I do for road kill as I pass it on the road.

Best to just handle it bro. Before they mess up your crib.

I want details how you get it brutha. Everybody needs a shotgun. I need a .22 now that I think about it. Guess I'll beg the wife for one. Also have a crossbow. Just in case YA know. I'm not a gun freek, it's just a tool in my eyes. I am the kinda guy that has like 5 hammers all over the house. So I can be sure I will find one when I need it. Screwdrivers? OMG! Dozens and dozens.
