Time to tell you The Rest of The Raccoon Story....
I researched How to get rid of Raccoons! there is a ton of info out there. most of which we could not do. Like put a rag/sponge soaked in ammonia in a bowl and sit by the fence. Or do the same with cayenne pepper.
A. the fence is 100 by 100, so where to sit it
B. Big Boy might ruin his sweet nose
The research said the fence with coyote pee... research shows $32.00 a gallon!!!!! we used a little human Pee (cost zero) around the hole they use the most and since research also said they hate loud noise, I prepared to repel the little rascals.
Monday night at 6 pm, which is the witching hour for them to appear in the yard, Big jumped up and ran to the door and I followed and there he/she was, wandering past the pool ladder. I grabbed the Raccoon repeller, better known as my spoon and cake tin, and beat it like a drum all over the yard..
I think I heard What The …. are you doing? from the living room sofa, but we never saw another coon that night.... waiting to see if they were just spreading the love to other neighbors...
It worked for the whole night!!! What a simple thing, yet so effective!! You must tell us what happens tonight, and for the next few nights.
ReplyDeleteSometimes simple works best!
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteHah! Those Racoons thought, "What noisy neighbours we got!!!" YAM xx
.... and you get the diploma "raccoon expeller" 😅
ReplyDeleteAnd no animal was harmed, lol. I wonder if your neighbors were in earshot?

That is the simplest of solutions and it was effective too. I wonder what the neighbors thought when they heard the banging. I remember years ago people putting out aluminum pie tins near their garden to keep animals away. I don't know if they hung a couple together so they would make noise or if it was just the single tin. Your story reminded me of that
ReplyDeleteLOL, spread the love..spread the raccoons.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
You did good. Way to go! You're now known across blogland as the mad snapper raccoon extractor
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I LOVE the (zero-cost) pee repellent! Glad the "What the … are you doing?" came from inside your house and not the neighbors. :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go!!!
I can just picture this...I hope it works. And that you dont have to do it every night. But better you do that than up all hours.
ReplyDeleteWe've seen them here too but they moved on. I read your other post and had no idea the sounds they make! How irritating...and scary! Hope these are gone. It's always something....isn't it? lol Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWe have regular raccoon visitors. My husband toss out dry dog food for them, and we both laugh at their antics. So far they haven't been noisy, destructive or too demanding. We will see what the future holds!
ReplyDeleteOkay girl - I am rolling on the floor laughing loud seeing you do that in my mind - but it worked!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a quick solution, but hope you don't have to keep it up or you'll be exhausted. All the best!
ReplyDeleteOh the visual you paint!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I sure hope that works..no cost solutions are the very best.
As the saying goes where there is a will there is a way...
ReplyDeleteYAY you!!! It must have been loud banging if Bob heard it.
Hugs Cecilia
LOL...I'm mostly laughing at the fact that you may have a new way to grab Bobs attention!
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked on those pesky raccoons!
Hope they got the message and stay away.
ReplyDeleteWell let's hope that did the trick. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOur trouble is deer. Hope you find soluction that work and keep pn working
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
What a great idea! I am trying to picture you going around the yard hitting your cake pan. I'm glad it worked!
ReplyDeletelol! seeing you do that.
ReplyDeleteglad you found a quick solution. hope they stay away for good.
Glad that worked. Hope they stay away!
