Raccoons still feeling at home in Springfield Gardens, Queens, attic

Lavanda and Patricia Gilbert (r.) stand next to hole where raccoon crashed through the ceiling of their bedroom on 175th St. in Queens on Oct. 11, 2013.

THE RACCOONS tormenting a Queens family are still living in their attic — despite one of the brood having fallen through the bedroom ceiling.

Patricia Gilbert, 48, said the seven unwelcome critters were in their nesting place at her Springfield Gardens house Saturday — one day after a raccoon terrified her family and got pepper-sprayed by a cop.

“They didn’t go anywhere,” said Gilbert.

The raccoons rummage for scraps during the night, and typically come home around 5 a.m.

“When they come in to go to bed that’s when they make the noise,” said Gilbert.

The landlord of her home still hadn’t repaired the hole in the ceiling, Gilbert added.
