I presume that the deck is at or near ground level.

Can you stick something stiff down between the boards and move it to a
place where you can reach it?
Piano wire is very stiff in the larger sizes. Even a piece of lattice or
one of those driveway reflector posts.

Now that I'v had my say, I am new to the group searching for an answer to
my sod delema.
I'll continue my search.

Thanks.

Hi,

Hope someone can help.

I have a dead raccoon trapped under my deck. Problem is that it is in a
location I can't reach unless I tear the deck apart. I have no problem
letting it decompose naturally but the stench is bad and I am worried
about
disease.

I can see it through the cracks in the deck and can pour liquid or powder
(maybe) on the carcass.

Any suggestions as to what I can do would be greatly appreciated as I am
trying to avoid tearing
apart the deck.

Thanks.

Alan




Taking up a couple of deck boards (especially if they are screwed down) is
not difficult.
