In a previous thread in SG QBG shared something:
Rattrap Claymore.
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41673&perpage=25&pagenumber=1
So a gentleman I know was having some raccoons getting into some sheds and his trash. Living in an rural /farm setting I shared QBC tip with a variation. he used a primer only. Well happy to report after a few nights that "Pavlov's Primer" works. The first night the shed was opened and BANG!, little critters scattered, when they went to another shed, BANG!, scattered again.
The next night a "wee" bit hesitant , but yep, set them off again. Now this fellow figures from experience with racoons they will try and figure out how to defeat, so he changed the location of the devices.
Well it is now "entertaining" to be up before daylight ( the usual time of the crimes) to watch. Well seems Pavlov was correct...little critters give a w-i-d-e berth around these sheds and trash cans. He may have to share this tip with a neighbor down the road...seems his neighbor down the way has developed new a critter problem. ( wonder why?)
No critters hurt or injured,just a primer going bang-- he just wishes he could have gotten a video.
Thanks QuarterBoreGunner, and my buddy thanks you also. THR, where one shares experience strength and hope...and learns a new wrinkle on Pavlov's Dog.
