RACOON IN MY GARDEN

[analog_kidd]

My dad had problems with raccoons eating and destroying his bird feeders.

He took a 1x4 about two feet long, covered half with aluminum screen and put a metal tray on the other end, making sure the pan and screen didn't touch. Then he hooked up an electric fence shocker, one lead connected to the screen, one to the pan. When birds land on the tray to eat, they are safe, but a big old raccoon has to sit on the screen to eat the feed. When he touches the pan, the circuit is completed and he gets a really big surprise.

It's even more fun to watch than the bug zapper

the fence charger works great on squirrels too. about the 3rd time that squirrel will stay away.
