Someone left me a Christmas present!!!

I started laughing as I read some of the responses.... Lol

Those raccoons are relentless, I hope you can scare them for good. Pooping where your fish live isn't respectful at all!

I love raccoons, but then again I don't have a pond.

What worked for me was a pellet gun to drive the raccoons away from my shed, then adding several boxes of moth balls in the shed.

i live half a block from the east/west skytrain corridor that bisects vancouver and for 8 months of the year after sunset i'm able to say hello to any number of skunk and coon families that use that corridor as their private blvd. these creatures and i must be on amiable term as they almost never take offense when we happen on each other. we got on so well a few times i had baby skunks scrambling around my feet while mother skunk halfheartedly was stomping her feet short distance away. bits of corn kernels strewn from my pocket onto ground probably eased her wariness somewhat.

Lucky you! When we moved to North Van, our dog got blasted 3x in 6 months before she learned not to chase the skunks. And that smell NEVER goes away.

forget the pellet gun, get a paint ball gun and change the colors every day so you know which ones youve hit before....
