How about raccoons? Does anyone have a problem with them? I've tried lights, hanging white t-shirts, gallon water jugs, nothing works.

I might be being played however, I do not, and could, have trouble with raccoons. I do use the product shown on the left of the screen. Sweeney's Mole and Gopher tool. It works for me. I have sent it to friends in other states and it works for them.

I think your pole is too big. Mine is about one and 1/2 inches in diameter and the baffle just won't fit. The best thing I did was to hang a corncob nearby for the squirrels. They are as much fun to watch as the birds. Since I did this, they no longer even look at my bird feeders. Now my problem is the raccoons. I wish they were as easily distracted as the squirrels. Good luck - I hope you find a solution but I don't think this baffle will work for you.

We were using this product for raccoons not deer. It did not work on raccoons, unfortunately.

Same thing happened to us. we used some wire and strung it from the supports at the corners for more strength and hung the lights between them. been that way for a long time with no problems.

haven't had a Raccoon show up that I know. Did have a Badger roll through and the sound ran him off.

I have that problem too! What I have done is run hot water over the underside of them and stretch them out while the water is running... But, once they're cold again they pop off...But, sometimes they will stay on...Just not very often... I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems with them. Wish I could find the right sized ones... I have 3 different sized dog and cat food cans..

I place my fishmate in a bucket with a hole drilled for the spout to extend out. I do this to keep the raccoons out. This might also keep moisture out since I don't have any problems with dampness. I hang it from a tree and the bucket is cameo colored.

Predator Guard deterrent lights are designed to repel 'wild animals' - if raccoon have become habituated to a home or property and have been visiting your yard regularly for some time, they may be used to being around lights, people, cars and homes - in this situation Predator Guard lights will have no effect. If raccoon are still 'wild' and visit your area only occasionally, Predator Guard lights will be more effective. Many people have success with ammonia-soaked rags as a 'smell deterrent' and hot pepper flakes as a 'taste deterrent'.

That is an interesting question. I've had mine outside, and never had problems with animals - but we don't have Raccoons. If this were a problem, you could weight down the lid without any impact to the system. Also, I cut a piece of old carpet the exact diameter of the inside and kept the top (active) layer covered. This kept down problems with white flies, seemed to help keep the moisture in and sped up the composting. I would think it would also reduce any odors that might attract racoons. Just feed the can-o-worms at a steady rate, and the worms will multiply to the right number to keep up. Then there is hardly any odor, and the compost gets quickly devoured.

Ours all have random patterns. I would contact the manufacturer So far ours seem to be deterring predators.

Try using florescent bulbs They are cooler and will Not burn holes Target sells a white shaded model The manufacturer of that may be a resource for repacent

I have the same problem on two I have. The exception is they only run 4 seconds. I talked to Moultrie CS and they said there is a reset button on the timer. Haven't looked yet because they are in the woods. Give them a call. Maybe they will get after it if there are more calls received.

Mine are having a hard time too. I have the water at the maximum, my smaller turtle has gotten up the ramp but no one has seen the larger one up on top yet. I am almost ready to remove it and go back to the floating shelves. I am going to try one more thing and that is to ramp a piece of driftwood up and see if he climbs up that.

I didn't have any problems with raccoons so far; I think the coop is very secure. I lock my chicken in at night and close the attached run in addition. I do remove left over food from the run and also the water bowl. I do not want to attract mice or rats and this seems to do the trick. In addition I clean the roost and coop every 3-4 days so no parasites can dwell there; the chickens are checked regularly for mites, so far I have no investation. Good luck with the coop and the hilarious chicken.

A large boar raccoon did a number on my trap. I can't give a specific answer except that it took a lot of tweaking of the trip rod and the hinge loops on the pad to get it working again.
