When it comes to determination and creativity in getting what they want, few species can top the raccoon. I'm an animal lover so when I saw a raccoon playing near my home with her young, I thought it was cute.

Curse of the were raccoon

Our neighborhood is overrun with squirrels and raccoons. I’ve bought bird feeders that effectively keeps the squirrels out but not the raccoons. My Havahart single door collapsible live trap has been in storage for years – time to get it out and thin down the raccoon population. I bait the trap with bird seed since they seem found of my feeders.
No More Garbage Can Raids in Our Neighborhood

This past fall our neighborhood developed quite a raccoon problem. Especially around our garbage cans and our neighbor’s corn stand. In one night those critters ate nearly half the rows of sweet corn and stomped all over the rest of the garden! So, we went to work to get rid of them but tried to do it as humanely as possible. After all, these little guys were just looking for food and didn’t really mean to wreck the garden.
