Google 'CFHS', lots of good info on discouraging raccoons and other nuicense wildlife. I'd provide a link but my phone can't copy and paste.

There is something I think called a scarecrow water sprayer it work off a sensor and sprays when they approach it hooks up to your hose.

Every year (10+) they pester my pond, some years worse then others. I have tried live traps, removed 5 in one year...waste of time. Coyote urine works until it rains, same issue with other odour deterrents. Finally accepted they will come around, so I made some changes to the pond instead.
- Black PVC under heavy rocks for fish to hide in when under attack - Plants are in black milk crates surrounded with rock work so they no longer get tipped or bothered. - Lots of blackberry bush (dead vines) under the plants near the bubble beach side of the pond and anywhere else they have entered. Since these changes fish loss has been minimal, no damage to the pond except my lilipads keep getting ripped off the base. I considered electric fence or a water sprayer, but did not want anything to change the natural esthetics. Hope you find a solution that works for your pond.

We used to have a problem with 'coons coming in the cat door to eat the kibbles
The cats would wake us up with their screaming so I kept my pellet gun near the bed ... Next time they arrived I chased them out of the house with the gun, and then across the yard. Each shot in the rump elicited a yelp They never came up our stairs again, and no more vet bills due to 'coon fights Kinda cruel but, with a low velocity gun it only stings I did the same thing with crows and they leave our trees alone now

 I saw a show recently where they were swimming across a lake to eat Heron (I think it was ?, or maybe Cranes) babies in treetop nests Nearly all the birds vanished until the peeps used wildlife cameras to find the cause of the population crash Last edited by gregzz4; 08-07-2014 at 01:43 AM.
