Dora,
One solution to your problem no matter what type of animal is getting
into your trash, would be to purchase an Ultrasonic Deterant Device.

www.backyard-lifestyle.com
has such a device featured on their website it is called a
Cat/Dog Stop
and sells for about 35.00. This product worked great to keep raccoons
out of my trash. It has a motion detector and runs off a 9v battery
for months. whenever it detects movement in front of it, the device
sends out Ultrasonic Sounds that scare off most
cats/dogs/raccoons/possems and other critters, and because it's
ultrasonic it is above human hearing range. So animals hear it and
humans don't.

I hope this helps.

We're supposed to keep dogs on a leash around here, but recently someone is
letting out their dog late at night. It keeps pulling over the trash can
and also the little can I keep outside with kitchen scraps for compost. It
might also be the culprit which has been eating my parsley. Would anyone
have any suggestions re marauding dogs? I'm ready to dump red pepper in the
compost can.
