Default Raccoon Repellent

BK, I'm sorry but something you said keeps sticking in my mind ....."
So I went
over there
and bought an 8 oz bottle plus a couple of dispensers."

Somehow I keep picturing the original dispenser the coyote used, in a
blister pack, hanging on a hook in the store. ............... and you
buying two of them.
On a serious note, They have not touched my WH but
they have torn out 80% of my water cress. I thought they were just mad
at me but the water cress does taste pretty good. That could be the
target. They think it's a salad bar with frog legs, escargot and sushi
side dishes.

Hank: 3 straight nights now since I marked my territory with CP and

no
visits from the Raccoons. (Fingers crossed/knock on wood) I even

took down
my soft drink can pyramid (well today is trash day too).

Number two in trap!!!!!! The rest of the family trashed the pond,

They
even ate all the flowers and buds from all the lilies. I think I

need
more traps. All of the older fish seem ok. (We have not had

bonding
sessions with the smaller GF yet.) It seemed as if all were

present
for their orange slice this morning.
I think the family is getting angry. They overturned

several
potted plants in yard and finished their raid with a refreshing

dip in
the swimming pool.
Well, time to take #2 to be with his sibling.
At $16. that coyote **** is starting to sound like a

bargain.

Well one raccoon relocated. Found him a nice spot by a lake. He

was
kind-of small, and cute as he stuck his human-like little paw

out of
the cage as if to say, "Come closer so I can RIP YOUR LIPS OFF"!
...... I reset the trap ..... I have a strong feeling Mama and

family
are nearby waiting to have another swim and buffet in Hank's

Puddle.
........ Let us know how the "Midnight under a coyote" cologne

works.

For $16 you should have gotten the whole coyote! It is

supposed to
work if there are coyotes in your area. The coon may just

think it
is
cheap cologne if it does not recognize it as a predator. I

looked
out
this morning to one furry bandit in a Hav-a-heart. I think

I'll
take
the little guy to the park today. Good luck with yours. I

hope
I
only have one.

I know some of you will think I'm just kidding due to my

recent
run-ins with
the raccoon but this is serious - no kidding.

Yesterday I was at Petco and was talking to the guy in the

fish
department
and I mentioned I had a pond. He tells me that he used to

but
gave
it up due
to being constantly trashed by the raccoons. So I mentioned

to
him
that I
had 4 visits from coons in the last week and I was thinking

of
trading in
the goldfish and koi for 200 4" piranhas to remedy the

problem.
(OK
I can't
help it - just kidding about that part).

So he tells me I should get some coyote urine...that if it

was
available
when he had the problem, he's probably still have his pond.

For
a
second I
thought HE was kidding and I said, "You said coyote urine?"

He
said
that
they sell it across the street at Green Thumb Nursery. So I

went
over there
and bought an 8 oz bottle plus a couple of dispensers. Last

night
was the
first time I used it and didn't have a visit - coincidence?

I
don't
know but
I had to try it even if it was $16.

Anybody else hear of it? And it IS actual 100% pure coyote

urine,
not some
chemical (according to them). I'll take their word for it.

They have a web site: http://www.legupenterprises.com
