As bad as geese
How odd, we've had a racoon problem this year as well when we've not had one before. Both heavy items atop the barrel(s) and even bungie cords didn't deter the clever buggers. Right now any delectable trash goes in the shed but I'm thinking of some way to scare them off. I was going to rig up a passive IR detector (like a driveway light) to a sprinkler head and give 'em a blast of water. I thought this might also work as a duck/goose repeller but apparently (in that other thread) the geese get used to the water spray. Still I may try it anyway.
That or an M-80.
