Popular Post Cliff Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Dagblabbit cursed stinkin racoons had a banner year making all manner of extra progeny. The tractor supply can't keep traps in the store they are all gone when ever I go. It was every night I was cleaning up after them. So I made this from 1" square 1/8" wall steel tubing and left over PVC decking. I'm guessing it'll do the job. Stinkin' thing is about a hundred pounds of steel and pvc. They don't call me Lord Overbuild fer nuthin'. Edited August 7, 2020 by Cliff lew, FlGatorwood, Fred W. Hargis Jr and 4 others 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Nicely done! Being overrun by 'coons myself I can understand your frustration. In my case the trash cans are in the garage but they still crap all over the deck, get into the garden (before i started using an electric fence) and generally ravage a few lily ponds looking for frogs and stuff.

Popular Post Larry Buskirk Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Our cans have flip lids. A couple of weeks ago I went out to put a bag of garbage in the can flipped open the lid and a racoon came flying out. Freaked the heck out of me.

Danl Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Can you imagine ... i had an acquaints who asked his neighbor to watch his house while his family was on a 3 week vacation. The neighbor never stepped foot in the house but a family of racoons made it their home during those 3 weeks. The house was literally destroyed.

If they can't get fed here they won't likely be here on trash day. They will be at a neighbor's house instead.
