I was thinking shotgun with birdshot so you dont put a hole in your roofa 22 caliber
build a live trap over the hole.
lead poisoning is not allowed in the city though.
That is the biggest joke. Some friends in burlington were battling a masked bandit living under their deck. Animal control said use a private pest control company, private pest control company did one way doors, then sealed their deck. He said he wasnt legally allowed to relocate the beast so he was making his way down the block doing the same thing at every house.

Those look like through away quotes we don't really want your business, but lets see if they what we can get.
The biggest problem is the architect was never a roofer. It's a pain in the ass.
One Km relocate for a squirrel.
Sounds like a raccoon. We had the exact same thing in our last place.
Put some clear polyethylene over the hole and make its life miserable with lights and noise in the attic. Throw mothballs around. Fire them around with a slingshot.
Keep replacing the plastic as it gets torn. When it no longer gets torn the raccoon has probably left for good but then you have to find out how it got onto the roof. Ours was an ancient ladder type TV antenna. A friend had a tree with overhanging branches too close to the roof.
Remove the access. I trimmed some tree branches today just to be safe.
To fix the hole it's one of those bits and pieces jobs that no one wants any more. As some have found you have to bribe someone to show up with a hammer. The neighbourhood handyman has almost become extinct.
Materials will be some roof decking to match the thickness and even if you only need a few shingles you'll likely have to buy a bundle ($25-$30). What colour shingles?
I recall seeing an add for a guy that specialized in roof patching but never ended up dealing with him. Found him via Google.

How many roof planes? I worked on a church that had close to a hundred.
That is something nobody thinks about, oh look or house has a 6 sided turret on the front!! how cool!! , yeah till the roofer tells you they need a zoom lift and its all day to strip and fix. Architecturally interesting = stupid roofing costs
@nobbie48 Thanks for that info. I'll throw the mothballs in when I return. It's literally in the tip of the corner, so I may be able to just screw in some plywood underneath and should be fine. Just need to figure out how to get in there from the inside (zero space to put in tools) or a way to do it from the outside and put nails in under the shingles.
28 real planes and then some eyebrows, gable returns, etc.

Stay tuned as the man from Mimico prepares to go hand to paw combat with an angry racoon cornered in the attic.
.... 1 km relocate for a squirrel he will probably pass you on the way home.
Live trap it and donate it to the zoo they love it when people do that ...no don't do that I'm just kidding.

I’ve relocated 5 trash bandits this summer. Here’s one I’m gonna catch tonight, he’s made himself comfortable under my deck. They are so common my cat no longer gets excited when the waddle by.
Saw this on facebook, not sure of the veracity:
HOW I FEEL ABOUT TRUMP: By Steve Harvey
You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons.. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement.. You want them gone immediately!.. You call the city and 4 different exterminators, but nobody can handle the job.. But there is this one guy, and he guarantees to get rid of them, so you hire him.. You don't care if the guy swears, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he has a plumber's crack, you simply want those raccoons gone!..
You want your problem fixed!.. He's the guy.. He's the best!
Here's why we want Trump: Yes, he's a bit of a jerk; Yes, he's an egomaniac; but we don't care!..
The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republicans and Democrats can be two-faced and gutless, and illegals are everywhere.. We want it all fixed!.. We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he's been married 3 times, we don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorist.. This country became weak and bankrupt, our enemies were making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo, and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in; "AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED”.. And Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want..
We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, sick of the Republican Party, and sick of illegals!.. We just want this thing fixed.. Trump may not be a Saint, but we didn’t vote for a Pope.. We voted for a man who doesn't have lobbyist money holding him back, a man who doesn't have political correctness restraining him.. We all know that he has been very successful, he’s a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's also NOT a politician, NOT a cowardly politician.!..
And he says he'll fix it.. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong, or looked at and called a liar.. Also, we don't care if the guy has bad hair.. We just want those raccoons gone, out of our house, NOW!!!
You are welcome to copy/paste/share this.. Thousands of people who haven't voted in 25 years seem to be getting involved.. And the more people get this message, the more that will understand why Trump was elected..The raccoons have got to go!!!

I've relocated two and given lead injections to two others. Also caught a skunk and innumerable chipmunks. A few squirrels have been dispatched as well. Things were fairly good for the last month, but I woke up this morning to one of the bird feeders on the ground. May need to break out the sardines and set the traps again.
