* change the frequency code for
your garage door opener regularly,
as raccoons are good guessers.
* make sure your online computer
passwords contain some capital
letters and numbers. Never use
your birth year! Raccoons are
very clever.
* don't be too quick to use the
dust cloth when cleaning house.
Let things get a little dirty.
Raccoons wash their food before
eating and the sound of running
water in the kitchen/bathroom
is an excellent coon alarm.
