Critters are cute and fuzzy, but they can also be real pests — getting into trash, marking their territory or even harming domesticated pets.

We asked our readers which animal ranks as the top nuisance in their neighborhood (in all fairness, we stole this question from our friends at magnoliareporter.com, like a raccoons at a Dumpster picking out something good to snack on).

The poll was up for one week. Here’s how our readers were responded.
