Hello,
I would like to keep the raccoons from coming on to my 2nd floor deck. I have several bird feeders there, which keeps them coming back for more. Not only is it costing me a lot in bird seed and suet, but the dogs go crazy waking us up.
I would rather live with the raccoons however than take a chance on hurting my kids (4 and 9) or than hurting the birds. Also this area gets quite wet being washed down every morning with a spray hose with a bird bath on the rail.
Is an electric "fence" appropriate here? Is there something I could lay against the siding or railing that the raccoons climbs up?
Thanks for any info.
Karen R.
