Aren't they crawling with disease??? And all kinds of parasites like fleas, and ticks and God knows what else?
My aunt in California had a LOT of trouble with the little beggars, as well as the deer that lived in the mountains.
They're cute, but they are like oversized squirrels on crack: they will find a way into your garbage, no matter what steps you take.
Not even a crossbow will deter them for long, and your stuck with all of the corpses.
Better call in Animal Care and Control; they are supposed to be experts at this kind of thing.JediJaidaComment

Alright folks, went to Wally World today and bought a new garbage can that I can clamp the lid down on. I guess tonight will tell. . .Comment

I doubt a Racoon can take down a Bungy Cord ...., properly Hooked...., or Even a rachet Strap. Just throwing it out there....... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

I've had the same problem in the past with Raccoons.I watched two of them one night run right down the road,took a right and ran right up my driveway to get a midnight snack.These things were huge,probably weighing 40 or more pounds each.I think thats the solution to your problem though,a new trash can.Thats what i did,but i actually rent my trash can from our waste disposal company.It has the capacity of at least 3-40 gallon cans,its on wheels and is real heavy duty.I've had the same one for over ten years and it seems to be raccoon proof.Might be something to check into if your new can dont work.I pay like 12.00 dollars a year and i have'nt had a problem with them getting into my trash since i got it. Another advantage is i dont have to clamp,bungy or strap the lid down.That would be a pain,undoing and then redoing the hold-down every time you take the trash out.Last edited by piecemaker; Jul 17, '13, 9:56 PM.Comment

Hey Black Knight, I hooked the bungees through holes I drilled in the sides of the can it was hooked strong enough that a kid couldn't have got the off. The little ar$es managed to chew through the plastic get a hold and slide the lid out from under the cord!! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. I think he's part wolverine. And by the way who's the turtle man?Comment

Once in a blue moon I get a raccoon or two wondering my backyard at night, I live in an urban location (albeit woodsy), for the life of me, I don't know where they come from or where they sleep during the day...but they don't bother me too much, they only stop by once in a while. I get possums too, they are more freaky-looking, like giant rats, lol.
To be honest, I have more problem with cats, my place is just a magnet for those things, they frequent my backyard 24/7, friggin' things climb all over the cars in our carpot, they mark their territory on the tires, and they pee and poo everywhere. When I had my Min-Pin (RIP), they would just laughed him off, my poor doggie would bark and bark from a good long distance away, poor little fella...he was only 7-8 pounds, bloody cats were twice his size.
I'm seriously thinking on getting a Rhodesian Ridgeback, famously known as a pack lion hunter...he would easily take care of my cat problem, lol.Last edited by Hector; Jul 18, '13, 1:52 AM.sigpicComment
