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.

Okay.
I gotta ask.
How *do* they 'harvest' it?

When in doubt, go to the website!
Not only can you get Coyote urine but Fox, Bobcat, Wolf and Mt. Lion (!!!)
Website says "All urines are collected naturally from domestically
raised animals on farms that are controlled by appropriate state and federal
agencies"

I can't imagine naturally collecting a urine sample from a Mt. Lion. Mt. Lions
occasionally eat people in our area of the country.

Yeah, that's what I asked too - everybody I asked said they didn't know and
didn't want to. *LOL*

I just hope I don't trade a raccoon problem for a coyote problem and other
coyotes are actually ATTRACTED to the scent!

That's probably how they sell the mountain lion urine.:-)

Well you know, I've heard that when the raccoon smells bottled coyote urine
they laugh themselves to death at the thought of a coyote being forced to
pee in a bottle. ;o) Keep us posted if it keeps working and how often you
have to re-apply. I think I'll stick with my scarecrow sprinkler. ~ jan

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.

I used fox urine to keep the rabbits from eating my newly
planted blueberry bushes. It had to be reapplied after
every rain fall. Here in NJ that was quite often. In your
area it wouldn't be that often.
I think the scarecrow does a much better job!

I have not heard of this, but Paul James the Gardner Guy (I know, I know 50%
like him, 50% despise him...I like him) recommends a mixture of 50/50
water/human urine sprayed around garden beds to rid yourself of gophers,
with no odor.

My question is, when it arrives at your door, is it in a plain brown box or
do all your neighbors learn you collect pee?

That's like paying $2. for a bottle of filtered water or $1. for a
bottle of Coke. (filtered water + sugar + caffeine ) I never could
figure that out. ....... Just because the water was filtered through a
coyote it's $16. a bottle.

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 still think I would look forward to the...snap the lights on...come out
shouting with a paintball gun. Seems like it would scare the crap out of the
coon, and be fun while you are at. You could also take a 20oz Pepsi bottle
with about 3 inches of water in it. Add 5-6 dry ice pellets, screw the cap
on tight and toss out by the pond. Makes one hell of a boom. Should scare
everything within a quarter mile. Oh, and hurt anything with 10 feet or so,
so don't aim for a direct hit. Scare the little dude, don't hurt him.

hey BV just to let you know, the dry ice bomb you describe is actually a
prohibited weapon as described by th ATF and most states law. It is classified
as a destructive device here in Texas and you could get 10-20 years in the
federal pen if a and Judge in a foul mood sits on the case.

Number two in trap!!!!!! 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.

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

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.

OOOPS! Did I say the P word? Sorry, I was upset and I think it has
been a long time since there has been a coyote at the New Jersey shore
so I don't think the odor would say predator to the raccoons. #2 is
now sharing a waterfront condo with #1 at a local state park. If I
were a raccoon I would want to live there.
The trap is set again. I hope my plants can withstand another
attack.

Has anyone tried putting a bunch of mouse traps around their ponds? They
helped me scare the coons away, and I haven't found any squirrel paws or bird
beaks in them, so they don't seem to be hurting the local fauna.

I've heard of putting upside down mousetraps around the pond to scare herons.

Tell more about your experience. Did you hear them when they encountered the
traps? --

Did you find traps that had been tripped?
When they left did your traps stay untripped later on?

stuck in a mouse trap. That's when I came up (with what someone named) ,

I found them tripped in the morning several times, and then they pretty much
were left alone and remained untripped, unless there was a heavy rain, which
did trip them. My plants have been left alone since I put them out. Theyre
pretty ugly, though. I was thinking of spray painting them a decorator black.
And I have to take them in whenever there might be children around.

I wonder if now the raccoons have been scared off if you could leave them
tripped and not have the hassle of worrying about taking them in when children
are around...
On the other hand that would be a sign for Murphy's Law to kick in and *new*
family of raccoons would show up...

Long message warning : ] This is so funny, because I posted on
alt.garden.pond.chat about my raccoon problem a few days ago.. First time
I've been on Ngroups in a while. I was perusing the articles there, and
saw - where is everyone?- and it suggested this site, so with contined no
response, I thought I'd check here.

Well, here I am- first looksie, and I see this long thread about raccoons!
My very problem!

Well, there hasn't been any response to my query on alt.garden. so I hunted
around town and found a water garden nursery, and guess what they
suggested -- COYOTE URINE! I paid $17, normally 19. I haven't tried it
yet, because, well, frankly, it is weird. we've had lots of jokes, and I'm
a bit scared of attracting real coyotes (who used to live in this area- &
prob still do a few miles away).

The nursery's other suggestion: get rid of water hyacinth- the only plant
coons are attracted to. So I did an experiment, and last night the raccoons
decimated my bowl with hyacinth in it in the backyard, and swiped a water
lily flower from the wkiskey barrel in front yard, but no other damage.

So, you might also try removing your hyacinths "bobkiely" . I feel better
about the coyote urine now. I guess I'll give it a try and buy some more
fish (the coons had gobbled all my fish and turned over 2 plants in my newly
set up whiskey barrel!) Any tips for leaky barrels besides a stiff ugly
liner? I'll try the mouse traps too.

Hey Hank,
My raccoon family (on their 2nd attack) ate only the water lily bud- but no
overturned pots. I don't have fish yet again (total all you can eat
buffet). I wonder if they are attracted to the lily flowers. They also
totally ruined an experiemental pot with water hyancith (I was told coons
like it). So I wonder if lily's should also be on that list. Sheesh!

Before eating the hyacinths again, they hadn't come around for a few days,
which makes me wonder if they only "hit" every few night or so. Or, they
were stuffed after eating my fish and parts of plants, and needed a few days
breather.

So, I'm sympathizing with you!
