*LOL* You sir are just a little TOO MUCH! *LOL* The dispensers are little
bottles about the size and shape of shampoo bottles you get in a hotel with 3/8" circles cut out on all 4 sides, a cotton ball inside and a small cable tie used to hang it from whatever you choose. Now maybe you can purge that other image from your mind. :-) This however, is all moot as (the following in 48pt, bold, underlined, color bright red)....THE COYOTE URINE DOES NOT, repeat DOES NOT WORK! The next report I give on the coyote urine is whether I was able to retrieve my $16.78 from the place I bought it! Fortunately I saw him within 20-30 seconds of his arrival. When I jumped up he saw me through the window and ran back out through the gate. Once there he made a 180 and looked back in through the gate. His nose was 2 " away from the CP dispenser for for at least 10 seconds. No reaction at all - nada - nothing. Then not seeing me he decided to come back in and I was waiting for him and without going into detail, I discouraged him again and he left and didn't come back. BK "Hank Pagel" wrote in message ...

BK, Sorry to hear that your urine doesn't work. I kind of thought that
the dispenser would still have to be attached to the coyote for it to work. Thanks for the description, I will sleep better.

Supposedly they like marshmellows. You have to tie them in as a raccoon once picked up the trap and shook the marshmellows out. The advantage is that your neighbor's cat usually isn't very fond of marshmellows. k30a |

You can't negotiate with terrorists - the same goes for gophers, moles, racoons, rabbits,
ground squirrels, giant antler'd rats.. Once they're in the trap, shoot them! It is hard to miss 'em, but if you do, you can try... try again. :-) In article , "Hank Pagel" writes: #3 is filling the trap (This is one big mother and I mean that literally)The only damage this morning is some of the watercress that is left is uprooted.We are going to see how fast an old, bald-headed fat guy can run when he opens the trap to let this one out.

Hank, FYI, I took this off the Haveahart.com website:
"Raccoons are known carriers of several diseases that are transmittable to humans and pets. Diseases such as rabies, tuberculosis, canine and feline distemper, and parasites such as roundworm. Roundworm is contracted by humans accidentally ingesting or inhaling eggs that are passed through the raccoon feces. Children are at risk because while playing could get it on their hands and then, as children will do, put their hands in their mouths. Remind children not to go near them. Be a responsible pet owner and keep your pets away from raccoons." BK "Hank Pagel" wrote in message ... BK, Sorry to hear that your urine doesn't work.

OH NO!!!
What are you going to try next? Maybe I should return my urine (ha ha) now without using it. Those raccoons make water gardens hard to do (with fish). and, yes, I'm also at war with moles. And the moles are mocking me. They sit in the burrows and laugh- I'm sure of it. I stick mole bombs (sulfur) down the holes, and the next morning, the wrappers are unceremoniously tossed onto the grass right outside the hole! I feel for sure that they are just giggling their way through my lawn. And yes, I tried Castor oil a few years ago- man that stuff is hard to spray. The result? The best looking moles you ever saw! Hey, maybe this is a side business waiting to happen- if I could catch the critters! (And yes, tried traps, but it didn't kill the guy- and that was traumatic- for us. We actually freed the guy in a near by wild wild park- not pretty lawns). Perhaps the moles and raccoons are haivng laughing parties at my expense!

The rest of the family trashed the pond, They even ate all the flowers and buds from all the lilies. I think I need more traps. All of the older fish seem ok. (We have not had bonding sessions with the smaller GF yet.) It seemed as if all were present for their orange slice this morning. I think the family is getting angry. They overturned several potted plants in yard and finished their raid with a refreshing dip in the swimming pool. Well, time to take #2 to be with his sibling. At $16. that coyote **** is starting to sound like a bargain. http://community.webshots.com/user/hankpage1 "Hank Pagel" wrote in message news Well one raccoon relocated. Found him a nice spot by a lake. He was kind-of small, and cute as he stuck his human-like little paw out of the cage as if to say, "Come closer so I can RIP YOUR LIPS OFF"! ...... I reset the trap ..... I have a strong feeling Mama and family are nearby waiting to have another swim and buffet in Hank's Puddle. ........ Let us know how the "Midnight under a coyote" cologne works. "Hank Pagel" wrote in message ... For $16 you should have gotten the whole coyote! It is supposed to work if there are coyotes in your area. The coon may just think it is cheap cologne if it does not recognize it as a predator. I looked out this morning to one furry bandit in a Hav-a-heart. I think I'll take the little guy to the park today. Good luck with yours. I hope I only have one. "bobkiely" wrote in message news:nQrOa.99793$%42.80004@fed1read06... I know some of you will think I'm just kidding due to my recent run-ins with the raccoon but this is serious - no kidding. Yesterday I was at Petco and was talking to the guy in the fish department and I mentioned I had a pond. He tells me that he used to but gave it up due to being constantly trashed by the raccoons. So I mentioned to him that I had 4 visits from coons in the last week and I was thinking of trading in the goldfish and koi for 200 4" piranhas to remedy the problem. (OK I can't help it - just kidding about that part). So he tells me I should get some coyote urine...that if it was available when he had the problem, he's probably still have his pond. For a second I thought HE was kidding and I said, "You said coyote urine?" He said that they sell it across the street at Green Thumb Nursery. So I went over there and bought an 8 oz bottle plus a couple of dispensers. Last night was the first time I used it and didn't have a visit - coincidence? I don't know but I had to try it even if it was $16. Anybody else hear of it? And it IS actual 100% pure coyote urine, not some chemical (according to them). I'll take their word for it. They have a web site: http://www.legupenterprises.com BK |

news:6DhPa.581$zy.223@fed1read06... Hank, FYI, I took this off the Haveahart.com website: "Raccoons are known carriers of several diseases that are transmittable to humans and pets. Diseases such as rabies, tuberculosis, canine and feline distemper, and parasites such as roundworm. Roundworm is contracted by humans accidentally ingesting or inhaling eggs that are passed through the raccoon feces. Children are at risk because while playing could get it on their hands and then, as children will do, put their hands in their mouths. Remind children not to go near them. Be a responsible pet owner and keep your pets away from raccoons." snip I am laughing silly over here, at you guys not being able to get rid of these coons. This IS EASY!!! Come on! I suggest you rent CaddyShack, get a pencil and some paper and take notes. BV. |

Raccoon Repellent
What am I going to do now? Well I am not going to remove all my water
hyacinths for sure. One of them is blooming. Actually I have to take the 5th on what my next step will be. All I can say that I believe in fate and luck. It was the raccoon's fate that he found my pond and also his bad luck that he has to deal with my defending it. If you think of them as a very large disease carrying rodent who wants to decimate all the work and money you've put into your pond as well as killing your pets, then escalating the force with which you defend it seems rational. And during that escalation if the size of the projectile has to increase slightly and the propellant changes from air to something that creates a larger echo across the lake, then so be it. After all, if he would just walk another 200 yards he would be at that 24-acre lake full of largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish and carp. He comes to my pond because it's a lot smaller and easier to fish in. Well, easier is not always better as there is a much bigger hazard to fishing in my pond. BK "infoseeker" reply by post thx wrote in message ... OH NO!!! What are you going to try next? Maybe I should return my urine (ha ha) now without using it. Those raccoons make water gardens hard to do (with fish). and, yes, I'm also at war with moles. And the moles are mocking me. They sit in the burrows and laugh- I'm sure of it. I stick mole bombs (sulfur) down the holes, and the next morning, the wrappers are unceremoniously tossed onto the grass right outside the hole! I feel for sure that they are just giggling their way through my lawn. And yes, I tried Castor oil a few years ago- man that stuff is hard to spray. The result? The best looking moles you ever saw! Hey, maybe this is a side business waiting to happen- if I could catch the critters! (And yes, tried traps, but it didn't kill the guy- and that was traumatic- for us. We actually freed the guy in a near by wild wild park- not pretty lawns). Perhaps the moles and raccoons are haivng laughing parties at my expense!
