>>392666>i put a pastic grate and a gallon of water to hold it down.maybe try a metal grate strapped and buckled down
maybe spray some pepper repellent around too
or electric fence (my horsey friends have a portable/temporary setup that runs off a solar panel and battery)
the fuckers learned how to open my sliding screen door one summer, they'd come in and steal my dog's food and wash it in the dog's water and one time one went upstairs and fell asleep in my bookshelf.
If you trap and release they'll most likely either come back, or starve on the way, because they're in another raccoon's territory
