Ok we officially have a raccoon problem.
My glorious deck garden has become their playground. Every couple of nights they come up and dig through all of the planters.
This has not happened in past years, not sure if we have a particularly enterprising raccoon or what.
What’s worked for other people to repel raccoons? (It could be a possum)
