Thanks....I purchased one and will set it up.
Will have it on a timer to only turn on after dark. I am only worried
about raccoons.

Btw, bait it like Jim does for deer. Take a few foil strips and put peanu
t
butter on them and attach to the wire. This way the raccoon doesn't walk
into the wire with force and freak out, instead it gets a zap on the nose
and that's that.

Unlike my cat who I assume hit the wire and jumped over it into the ponds.
Unfortunately or thankfully it was timed to go off just seconds afterward
s
so he could get out. He came in with tail all frizzed and damp underneath
,
so I sort of knew what happened. Took months before he'd go out the door
down there. ~ jan
