...And three days later the raccoons will have worked out the solution ;-)

LOL.....I suspect you are correct.

From the size of that one, I'd say he's been rather resourceful.

Ok, we all know I'm not-so-secretly rooting for the Trash Can Tippers, but for those of you who are REALLY having a problem with raccoons getting into your trash, I will pass along this special little tip:

For their sake is all I meant, water out here is a bit scarce, I like animals, so naturally I would not want them where they'd die of thirst and/or of something to eat.

Yes and no. The local raccoons figured out bungee cords several years ago. They can't undo them, but they can knock the can on its side (placing garbage up against the lid), and then stretch the cord enough to get their filthy little paws into the can. Took me a while to figure this out, as what you find in the morning is a can on its side, bungees and lid intact, with chewed garbage all around. It takes a combination of locking handles and bungees to defeat them now, and even then I need to get a new brand of locking handles every few years, as they figure these out eventually.

Mister W!!!

It is taking every ounce of strength I can muster to refrain from categorizing your last post as "flame/hate speech", hiding it for the sake of public decency, initiating a ban vote and hoping that my fellow moderators ban your account into perpetuity!!!

I'll have you know that my beautiful, gentle, sweet and charming little woodland friends DO NOT have "filthy little paws"!!! They have frequently washed, perfect little pristine paws!!!



So there!!!


P.S. May 10,000 raccoons invade your attic.

Curse or blessing???

You decide.
