Around here, Animal Control won't do anything about them, unless they are dead.
They do get very BIG.

I don't know where you call home........BUT......here they can get quite large and can and will run a coon out of a persimmon tree. They can be aggressive. We feed outdoor cats also and sometimes it can be hard to keep the coons and possums out of the food. The outdoor cats just sit up on the deck banister and wait until BOTH coons and possums get their fill before trying for any. They usually don't.......but can have rabies. Its the coons that are the usual suspects when it comes to rabies. Also, a bat and a skunk can be "carriers" of rabies without showing any symptoms.Originally Posted by furryferals

I hope the kits didn't invite it!
