All summer we have had some suspicion that there was a critter visiting or living in our garage. The boxes had been tossed about that had been (ahem) neatly stacked. Peters hockey bag was soaking wet, paw prints on everything and the garage door gnawed on. Well this afternoon I confronted a teenaged, very shy racoon. He was rummaging around in empty buckets for what I guessed, water. So I went into the house and filled a bucket full of water and when I splashed around in it a bit with my hand, he quickly appeared and wanted some. Now does anyone have a trick to lure him out and to stay out. I heard once he is out to spray a solution of pine sol around the property and garage door entrances?
