How do I keep raccoons out of trash

• gerb131

  

  They been tipping the can over and making a mess. I pissed on the can didn't help. Next.

  .410 shotgun works pretty well. Other than that, you'll need a strong latch on the can.

  I've fired from indoors too damn loud. I figured bungee cord the heck out of it.

  Get bigger/bulkier trash cans? Ones they can't tip over easily.

  I've always just splashed some ammonia inside the can, on top of the garbage bags. They get a wiff of that and scatter.

  Get a bowl and feed them cat food and put a bowl of water out so they can rinse the food. You can get a chair and sit right there and they will come up and take bread right from your hand and dip it in water. They like just about everything but cat food is great and so is bread. if you really feel generous make some hard boiled eggs. they love them too. they will start to bring their kits up and feed . you will soon have your own backyard petting zoo. They wont get into the garbage if you feed them I fed them by hand with bred . they just took it and dipped it in the water. all the while my cat is sitting on my lap. Then the cat would go over and get some food and look at the coon like what the fuck... I didn't care because I was a renter and my landlord was a pain in the ass. He felt like he could just walk in my house when he felt like it,so i invited all kinds of guests before i moved away. I think the bees and the hornets enjoyed the honey I put out for them. I made sure all the local varmints were well fed and taken care of. I put out dog food for all the local strays so they could come and defecate in the tall grass that the landlord was supposed to have cut. I did that especially when it got real tall so his guy could step in some do do . I put out a couple of bird houses in the tree my landlord parked his car under every evening ,and took them down before he got moving in the morning. All that bird shit had to stain the paint on that new Buick he had. Before I left I let the raccoons in the house to get a little comfortable. I left them some peanut butter under the sink and a few other hideaways . Naturally they invested the place with fleas. lol . you have to think creative when the lord of the land thinks he can just walk right into your apartment any good damn time he wants without a knock or emergency. So I have a liking for raccoons and other varmints. I just felt like sharing. I know you all would enjoy it.

  Lock the lids with bungee cords or the bleach/ammonia all work. If you want to remove them get some live traps. They are by far one of the easiest animals to catch in a trap.

  Did I ever tell you the story of when I ran across a possum inside a hollowed out tree? Boy was that something. Do I hear a yea or a nay? Should I tell it?
• TedSheckler

  

  Please do! Sounds riveting!

  No one wants to hear about how you decided to stick your dick in a hollowed out tree and wound up fucking a possum to lose your virginity.

  Well it sounds like a tie vote so far.

  Only a stupidville resident would suggest making it a pet.

  I'm voting 3 times for a "yes" to the story.
• steubbigred

  I was doing some wood cutting for the county one day and one of the females on our crew saw something inside a hollowed out tree. We gathered and we could see some pink eyes.. "oh how cute "the other female replies" It looks like a rabbit".
  
  Upon further inspection by myself and another male worker we noticed a long rat like tail,but it was dark inside that hollowed out tree so the girls could not see it.
  Since both of these rabid bitches were pains in the ass to every other male on the crew . I decided not to tell these heffers . I says yes that is just a itty bitty cute little rabbit. I says go ahead and pet him . He wont bite ,maybe you can take him for a pet. Well this stupid bitch and her dumb friend proceed like the dumb fucks they are. Yes they did have work gloves on ,but I didn't care. not after the sexual harassment allegation against me, so she reaches in and sure as I am sitting here today that damn thing let out a hiss that scared even the most hardened criminal we had on our crew. well after all the laughing dies down a few days later we are all getting piss tested because that bitch told on everybody for smoking weed on the job. Luckily that week i only got drunk a few times while cutting down some trees. i didn't get fired but a few other guys did. Moral to this story is a **** will always be a **** .
  All I did was try and get her a soul mate ,and I thought a giant rat would be perfect.
