Forget Anti-Freeze; Forget D-Con; Try Fly Bait
OK, the antifreeze is risky and the raccoons completely ignored the
treat of peanut butter and D-Con pellets. But I know that they made their rounds last night because of the fresh piles of coon shit. Google search reveals high praise for fly-bait, generic: methomyl, brand: Golden Malrin. Poultry farmers swear by it. Mix a soft-drink (not diet) with fly bait crystals in an aluminum pie plan. Raccoons die within minutes, sometimes flopping into the plate. It *will* kill anything that samples it, buy there are mixed opinions as to whether cats or dogs would sample it. To be safe, I'll keep the damn dumb cat inside or else locked-in on the screened-in deck. |

Did you try the Golden Malrin with soda mix and did it work? I have a colony of groundhogs living under my shed/garden and destroying my veggies and yard! I've put out bowl of apple cider mixed with antifreeze- don't know yet if it's working...too soon to tell. -- for full context, visit http://www.homeownershub.com/mainten...it-684969-.htm |

Wait seven years like Way Back Jack did and you won't have any groundhogs either. I don't that they're that long lived. -- for full context, visit http://www.homeownershub.com/mainten...it-903713-.htm |
