Mount a camera on your belt. It will take cool pics as it climbs up your leg to show you it's teeth!

Don't step between the rafters.

Exactly, one minute you're getting something out of the attic, the next minute you're a fixture in the dining room ceiling. Don't ask me how I know

Dang, that pic scared the heck out of me.
Don't aim at the AC unit or water heater (if they are in the attic)
I'm going back to look at the old thread mentioned above. be back soon....

Poop in the attic and torn up insulation. No animals. The house is pier and beam. The ac duct runs down a shaft to under the house. The nest is next to the shaft. All the eaves and vents are screened well so I thought it got in under the house and climbed the shaft. The shaft has that old ribbed fiberboard so easy to climb. Looked at the outside of the foundation and didn't see anywhere it could burrow under, so it's got to be tunneling

Set a trap in the attic. Well see what happens

that's just what the demon wants you to think....

What kind of poop? Don't rule out squirrel. They love attics and can get in very easily.
And I agree with you, rat shot I wouldn't think would fare well against a coon unless barrel was within a foot of it's head.

Don't step between the rafters.
