How To Keep Racoons Away

Question From: E. Gordey - CALIFORNIA
Q: Raccoons ate my outdoor lights (bulbs and sections of wire). Any idea how to keep this from happening?

A:

I trap them in a Havahart and my neighbor guy disposes of them. It is against the law to transport them to other properties in my state. For keeping racoons away from areas that can get wet, Contech's Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler system can be very effective.  Best, Nancy
