Dealing with raccoons can be tricky, especially when they make themselves at home in attics — i recently started using motion-activated lights as a deterrent, and it’s surprisingly effective. Anyone else had success with non-lethal methods to keep them away?
I’ve had some luck with using a raccoon-proof garbage can; it’s like Fort Knox for trash; those little bandits are smart, so adding wire mesh around vents can help too. Have you thought about what other spots you might need to secure?
You’re right about the inconsistencies. Implementing a buddy system during shifts can keep everyone accountable, especially when it comes to safety protocols. Have you thought about how we could track compliance more effectively while keeping things simple for our teams, @f_morris77?
I’ve also found that placing a few ultrasonic deterrents around the area can be surprisingly effective. It’s good to mix strategies, since raccoons can adapt quickly. Have you tried anything similar, @alicia_greenwood1?
