Masterful Methods to Protect Your Garden and Garbage



This might get me in trouble with my kin, but I believe that humans and raccoons can coexist peacefully and harmoniously. As a raccoon who respects your determined attempts to safeguard your precious gardens and refuse, I feel moved to provide my sage advice. Let's explore some unbeatable methods to secure your garden and your garbage bins.

Food Storage

When it comes to your coveted leftovers, those lighter containers with seemingly secure lids are surprisingly effective and as for those solid metal trash cans or locked dumpsters? Well, they're more of an eyesore than a deterrent. Let's opt for aesthetics and harmony with nature over industrial monstrosities. 


Garden Defense

The key to garden defense is balance. A fence that's just about right in height and made of smooth, unthreatening materials does wonders to maintain peace. Over-the-top security measures, like motion-activated sprinklers or lights, only disturb the tranquillity of your garden and are wasteful. Let's protect our environment.


Garbage Security

Concerning garbage security, an approachable bin with a manageable lid seems the most sensible. Those heavy tops and locking devices? They're really a nuisance, for you as much as for us. And we wouldn't want to inconvenience you, would we?


Pet Food and Bird Feeders

Lastly, the placement of pet food and bird feeders. Let's create a beautiful display of them in your backyard, away from the house. Aesthetically pleasing, it attracts beautiful woodland creatures and who doesn't like a scene from the halcyon days of Disney in their backyard,


So, dear friends, by adhering to these simple strategies, you will surely foster a wonderfully raccoon-free environment. We’ll simply admire your domain from afar, satisfied with the cordial harmony we’ve established. Onwards to a peaceful coexistence, where your greenery thrives, your trash remains undisturbed, and our admiration for your efforts ever grows.
