You can try cutting up some bars of Irish spring bar soap and scattering them around. Many times that will keep them away.
In the past week or so, I discovered a raccoon on my deck going for mealworms that I keep in a feeder that I bring indoors at night. Actually, I only bring in one of the feeders, as the other one is too high for me to reach daily.
So I cut up some Irish Spring soap bars, and rubbed it all over the railings and posts on the deck, and left a few tidbits on top of the posts. The last two days, the feeder that I can’t get remove hasn’t been raided. I’ll count that as a win and keep the soap coming!
I don’t care if the critters are out in the woods. I see that as their home. The minute they come across my lawn to get close to my house, they’re fair game.
