Every night some critter is digging in the pine bark mulch around our
landscape. Yesterday I spread some moth balls around and last night the
activity was the worst I ever had.
Not sure what the animal is, maybe possum or raccoon.
Short of sitting out there after dark with night vision goggles and a 22
rifle and suggestions for keeping the pests away?
Thanks....
Which of these 3 choices is the real issue?
1) The animal is seriously disrupting the mulch.
B) You're just curious who it is.
III) You don't want animals around.
1.....
Buy a rake whose tines can be adjusted to a narrow width, allowing you to
work in between closely spaced plants:

Use it to put the mulch back in place. Or, lay chicken wire over the mulch,
but be prepared to have your hands poked by the sharp edges.
