A.M. IT IS A STORY YOU WILL ONLY SEE RIGHT HERE ON WESH TWO. CW 18. NOT 1 OR 2, BUT MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN RACCOONS INVADED A BREVARD COUNTY HOME EARLIER THIS MORNING. WESH TWO GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN REPORTS. THE CATS WENT BONKERS AND NO ONE KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL THE HOMEOWNERS CHECKED THEIR SECURITY CAMERAS. I THINK THE RACCOON DID THAT 2 OR 3 DAYS AGO, AND THEN THEY CAME BACK WITH ALL THEIR BUDDIES. I THINK HE WENT THROUGH, FELL IN THE POOL AND SCARED HIMSELF AND WENT OUT TO THE KITTY DOOR OR THE DOGGIE DOOR LIKE THE LITTLE BANDITS. THEY ARE. ONE BY ONE, RACCOONS ENTERED THE. HOUSEHOLD, SCARING THEIR CATS IN MERRITT ISLAND AROUND THREE SUNDAY MORNING. NO ONE KNEW WHAT HAPPENED UNTIL RICHARD AND HIS WIFE, MARGARET LOOKED AT THEIR HOME SURVEILLANCE VIDEO. WE STARTED LOOKING AT ALL THE. RACCOONS. WOW. THEY WERE HAVING A PARTY. THERE WAS SEVERAL OF THEM ON THE STEP. RIGHT THERE. WOW. THERE WAS SEVERAL OF THEM IN THE JACUZZI JUST SPLASHING AROUND THE THREE OF THEM IN THE JACUZZI, SPLASHING AROUND. THE NERVE. AND THEN LOOKING AT THE OTHER VIDEOS FROM THE OTHER CAMERA ON THE SIDE, COVERED PORCH, WE SAW THEM ALL COMING IN AND OUT OF THE HOUSE, IN AND OUT OF THEIR SCREENED PORCH. AND THEN THEY ATE ALL THE CAT FOOD AND TURNED OVER ALL THE WATER BOWLS. THEY ATE ALL THE CAT FOOD THAT WAS OUT FOR OUR KITTIES. AND THEY THEY FILLED THE BOWLS ALL OVER THE DINING ROOM. HIS WIFE COUNTED EIGHT OF THEM, AND I’M LIKE, THAT’S A LOT OF RACCOONS. HE WAS WORRIED THEY COULD HAVE HAD RABIES. I JUST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, WILD RACCOONS. AND THEY’RE, YOU KNOW, THEY’RE DOING THEY’RE IN MY HOME AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY’VE BEEN. YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM, AND YOU HAD YOUR GRANDKIDS, AND WE HAD THE GRANDKIDS IN THE HOUSE. HE CALLED AUTHORITIES, INCLUDING 911 FLORIDA WILDLIFE COMMISSION, AND TRIED REACHING OUT TO BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES. HE SAYS HIS NEIGHBORS HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH RACCOONS, TOO. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE KITTY DOORS? I MEAN, THAT’S HOW THEY GOT IN. THAT’S HOW THEY GOT IN. YEAH, THE CATS ARE CATS. WELL, I DO HAVE SLIDES. YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS I KNEW THAT THEY WERE ALL OUT, I PUT THE SLIDE IN THE DOOR AND I GOT BOTH OF THE CATS BACK IN THE HOUSE, AND I SPENT THE NIGHT ON THE COUCH OUT HERE WHERE WE’RE SITTING TO MAKE SURE WE HAD NO REOCCURRENCE. COVERING BREVARD COUNTY IN MERRITT ISLAND, GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN WESH TWO NEWS. AND THE FLORIDA WILDLIFE COMMISSION SAYS WHEN IT COMES TO THE NUISANCE ANIMALS LIKE RACCOONS, SECURING A PET DOOR IS RECOMMENDED. ALTHOUGH RELOCATION IS SOMETIMES NECESSARY, TRAPPING AND RELOCATING OR KILLI
