All right. How do I get rid of these folk?

Lakesider,

What is the status of your odiferous guests? Have they checked out of their vacation hide-away as yet, or have they decided to stay on a while longer to enjoy the foliage? Hopefully the younguns have been weaned by now and have been cast out by their Mom.

I saw one of those black and white critters scurrying down the sidewalk early this morning. Daylight was fast approaching and it was probably making a beeline for home, as it seemed to have a definite destination in mind. They generally tend to just amble along, but this guy was really booking it. It was headed in the direction of McDonald's, so it may have been anxious to pick up a quick coffee before calling it a night.
