We live in the middle of the city...right next to a golf course. We have raccoons but so far they don’t bother us. See them in the back yard once in awhile. We’re having skunk problems. They were living under our ADA and I used skunk repellent and thought they had left. But I keep seeing them...and occasionally smelling them in our back and front yard. Need to get them to move on. lol
For skunks, I once played mariachi music on the radio 24/7 for 3 days straight, and he finally left without incident. He was hiding under our deck. That was probably 5+ years ago, and we haven’t had another skunk under our deck since then. Raccoons and possums once in a while. Last summer, something died back there but it wasn’t a spot we could access. So it stunk for days.
