After the last 8 years having a salad bar ( AKA garden )for urban coons and possums and groundhogs ( in 3 years i trapped 108 coons and possums ) and rabbits and chipmunks and squirrels and strawberry loving birds ...meet Sadie . She very much likes to chase them . Here she is asleep after helping me plant stuff in garden . She also is rather good at chasing drug dealers too http://tribalwitch.blogspot.com/2009/04/gardening-is-hard-worknaptime.html

I have found out if you have one coon or possum you see..they are like roaches ..there will be a dozen hidden around the corner. The coons would hit the yard about 3 or 4 am and would always be 2 adults and 3 to 4 smaller ones .. Soon as you would trap all of that family..here comes another family . Coons would sit on my porch and look at me when i come outside ..and DONT get me started on the doz or so flop ear bunnies i have seen this year hopping all over the yards. People buy rabbits and turn them loose when they discover they are a pain to take care of and the kids wont do it...

Hmm...raccoons in the sewer--that must be why my dog sometimes stops and sniffs at the sewer grate when I walk him. I always thought there must be a cat down there. But I could never see anything. We have one raccoon who comes out all the time in broad daylight--isn't afraid of people at all. he just sits there and stares at you. But a toy poodle chased him up a tree. Go figure.
108 raccoons is a lot. You city should hire you as pest control. then you could get paid for trapping them.

My word, that certainly is a lot of raccoons! I hope Sadie protects your garden for you this year.

Yes, I was seeing raccoons in the sewer system here a few years back. Don't know what happened, but they went away again. We seem to get an uprising of them every 10 years or so. It's completely surreal to see a raccoon's face looking at you out of the storm sewer (cutout in the curb in this town). |

I think they tell all their friends and relatives about the good places to eat :)

The critters live in the sewer systems thru town and travel that way..unreal isnt it . The more you would kill ..the more there would be to move in to replace them

108 coons! That's got to be some sort of record. Too bad you can't trap drug dealers and drive them far, far out of town.
Sadie looks like a real sweetheart (if you're not a critter or a trespasser, that is). |
