Teeka,
garbage can? How about a water source? Could it be that they are coming for a drink? How about motion detector lights and sprinkler.

I don't know much about raccoons but I'd go to a pet store and find out if they have a product that makes a spot unattractive to animals and I would spread that around. Something that area that they used must seem like a good place to go. Probably something they smell-previous animal waste?

Maybe try going to a hunting supplier and get coyote urine or other preditor urine and hang strips of cloth soaked in it.
We resorted to buying a trap and catching the critters. In our city, they come and relocate them if we have them trapped. Call and find out if you have this sevice too. They tore my entire garden apart, digging up plants and eating the roots and looking for grubs.

Peeing on the bottom of your fence would do the trick. Most animals do not like Ammonia (sp?) either.

Just saw this on the discovery channel, It would have to be male pee. soooo maybe host a beer party or hand out diuretics ??

Perhaps if you put a sign out in your yard "no pooping" or something similar may help. ;->

If he is stopping by for a poo maybe he or she is trying to tell you something. Be kind and leave your coons a little snak like soapy water and nice plump roots covered in exlaxs. He might get the idea to poo some where else. Unless your husband can balance on the top of the fence to pee

gotta figure out a way to get DH to do this for me,lol!

Raccoon guy left me with some coyote urine and I put it out last night(you reminded me he had left me this and I had it in the garage and opened it and it stinks big time) and no poop last night,though the beast out there was playing w/ the rag I left where he/she pooped because it was all over the place. The other rags were left alone.

If this doesn't work, I'll buy DH a six-pack!

thanks again.

Works for me.
I mark my boundaries as needed.
But my yard is fairly secluded!

I'd hate to be the guy that has to hold the collection cup under the coyotes to collect their urine. That's got to be a tough job. Especially wild coyote urine.

I get gopher tortoise poops in my yard. I consider it a bonus and sign of good will towards men.

Feed them some cheddar cheese. LOL

Gary, you really made me laugh, but you're right, there are some awful jobs out there. lol Collecting snake venom is right up there too.

The gopher poo is good for the plants since it's mostly grasses of some sort.
