1 – Yes, 1-No
The raccoons have been spotted! I was sure it was raccoons pulling up our new sod to get to the tasty critters underneath. Bird netting foiled the attempts for most of the winter, but now that spring winter2 has arrived we had to pull up the netting so we could mow. Two areas continued to be pulled up fairly regularly. This morning – our first sighting. My foray out with a broom moved the racoon up to a low wall adjacent to the scene of the crime. But he did not leave until Carl joined me with a mini-basketball in hand. I don’t think this was a final curtain call however. Must figure a way to totally discourage this bandit.
Loved this article. Not quite Soylent Green.

LOL. I doubt that a mini-basketball is going to scare off a raccoon for very long. And Howard Roark indeed! (-:

I suggest red pepper flakes on the area that they’re digging in.

You might check on-line for something like bottled mountain lion piss. I imagine that would give the raccoons something to think about.
