Have you ever tried a racoon box?? Just like monkeys once they get ahold
of something they will not let go. sooo you use that behavior to
relocate them.

I have always preferred the box balanced on a stick trap. You tie a piece
of
string to the stick and put a pile of bird seed under the box...when the
raccoon grabs the seed you pull the string, and the stick is supposed to
fall and drop the box. Doesn't always work, and I have gotten myself
caught
in the box a few times to be honest, but I still like the design.

BK, that had me ROF&LOL!!! Great story, great writing ability!

Ingrid wrote her deer story, ending with: Deer think
they own it all and been munching everything to the ground.

Scarecrow sprinklers work on both raccoons and deer. But I can sure
understand needing a BB or pellet gun with either.

We like to vacation at a place called Wallowa Lake in SE Oregon. I was
amazed when wild deer would come up and eat out of your hands. Then came
the year when the deer got so aggressive they were killing dogs and
striking at people. I found out it just wasn't worth offering them
anything, one strike with those sharp hooves and it would be stitches for
sure. Bambi isn't as defenseless as we're lead to believe.

Those sprinklers though do work well, my sister had 3 on at all times.
Unfortunately deer are persistent, minute a battery wore out, here they'd
come a munchin'.

Now she's moving to Elk & Cougar country. I told her to keep the sprinklers
loaded, but at least the elk won't be eating her flowers, and she'll have
little yard for grass after the ponds go in. The cougars will hopefully
not like to get unexpectedly sprayed with water, like most cats. ;o) ~ jan

I can't see a scarecrow sprinkler working for long on a 'coon, they are
extremely smart creatures.

If you put the pellets in the gun backwards, they act as a poor man's hollow
point. Having said that, a bb gun isn't going to kill a coon, and unless
it's dead, it's coming back for dinner.

Best to call animal control, and have it trapped.

Well I had a raccoon hit my pond and never come back after I installed the
sprinkler.

There have been reports of raccoons smart enough to knock them over, so
obviously they don't like the fear factor of its surprise activation plus
getting wet. Thus if it's connected securely where the raccoon can't
inactivate it, one is probably pretty safe with purchasing one for 'coon
control. )

Ideally I do believe deterrants work best when in place before the problem
arrives, so they get hit right off the bat, no food rewards. ~ jan
