Well, hubby doesn’t ‘trap’ things that eat human food.
Hubby has added an air rifle to his options, but since Raccoons are nocturnal, he’s still thinking traps. We will see what happens to my corn in September. It is right next to the patio, and there is sufficient light from the house, that it may not venture forth.
I’m thinking about getting one of those motion detectors that flash on a light or noise for my little patch. He planted his corn this year on the back forty. Raccoons got his grapes several years ago, but did not bother the corn that was closer to the house.
