Jeff VS Raccoon

[Jeff]

On 7/9 at about 120 am a Raccoon invaded my bird house and stayed there a long time and cleaned it out so I had a plan to turn on the alarm so when it detects motion it will screech a siren and scare him off. Well it worked for a while but now he ignores the sound and its time for plan B which will be to smear vaseline and cayenne pepper on the pole he climbs... We shall see
Video 1 the invasion

Video 2 is him being scared off by alarm

Video 3 is him telling me F you and your alarm I am hungry, he actually drags another feeder on a metal hook into the bird house and munches on that .. this is war

I have a hand held, pest exterminator, that works by squeezing a trigger, and it releases a projectile into the invaders carcass. Works on coyotes too.

They are mean but they are cute!! Maybe not in your bird feeder.

I have a cat door to my basement so the cats can get out of the weather. I had not one, but two raccoons in the basement in less than a week.

5 ft x 5 inch around stove pipe should do the trick. I don't think he can get a good enough grip on it now

Trap the little devil and take him a few miles down the road and let him out. Be careful the critters are mean and nasty

I used to hunt em with coon dogs in my younger years, I know how ferocious they are. They have such a great sense of smell you can keep them away simply by planting mint around your house, they hate garlic and ammonia too . They can cause a lot of problems if they get in your attic

Put him in your wife's trunk she'll be so suprised she'll dang near faint. I did it with my first wife and a squirrel 3 months later I was getting a divorce. Killed 2 birds with 1 stone.

 

[useless]

a little c4 and a trip wire will do the trick

 

[slavenomore]

He's making you spend money Jeff.
The boss might be dropping him off at your place to make you want some OT.

Coat the pipe with Vaseline just to make it slicker. Talking about the stove pipe.

I setup the coon cam today and want to see if this round slick shape will thwart his evil intentions, if it does not work I will make it slicker
don't think he will be able to climb this because he can't grip with his thumbs

It's illegal to move them in N C because of rabies.
My wife won't let me shoot them at home, but I have 12 new ones at our country place.
I use the same Hav-a -Heart trap in your picture.
They are very destructive and did $15k damage to my friend's ductwork.

They don't like mothballs either, I guess the moths are glad.

a spray bottle of ammonia, garlic, cayenne peppers or fresh mint growing they won't go near it

We had a distemper epidemic here on the island a few years ago, over 300 foxes and coons died, seems like they have rebounded.
