Old Ironmaker Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I was telling a pal that I have to lock my garbage up in the shed and he asked why? Why? Because they dig around and leave only the bones for me to pick up. He says he leaves his garbage out and urinates around it and doesn't have a problem. It actually sounds logical. So I did this today. Does anyone else piss on their garbage? I hope Mrs. Richter next door doesn't call the cops. This isn't a Johnny D Corleone buster. Straight goods ????

NAW Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I can just see it now. Put my garbage can out on the curb the night before garbage day... Whip it out, and give her a good soak. Neighbors kids down the road putting their garbage out at the same time.. . . Officer, I am trying to keep the coons away. Trust me! I read it on OFC!!

FloatnFly Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I built myself a garbage box out of plywood, and painted it with a water proof paint for this reason, skunks and racoons were getting into it. holds easily 6 bags of garbage, plus 2 recycling bins and a green bin. now my only problem are the flies and resulting magots. hate this 2 week schedual to get rid of garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hmmmm, wonder if woman pee works as I'm the one who does the garbage. Think my neighbours may wonder why I'm squatting on the corner though I'd probably for sure get arrested. Think I'd rather pick up bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm thinking about just putting it in a spray bottle, like my BBQ flair up water. Hold on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,my wife's saying there's something sticky on the concrete pad by the shed! Ooops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 We have a family of coons that moved in to our area this summer, the keep pulling our composter apart and also come up on the deck to get the feed we put out for the birds. They are so bold that even when I try to chase them away they just sit there. The other night I threw my shoe at one of them to try to get him to leave, within a minute he was back with three others. I walked back in and got the .22 figuring I'd shoot one of them and they'd get the idea, opened the door and never even got the gun up to my sholder all four of them were gone and didn't come back the rest of the evening. let me know how the pee thing works!

crappieperchhunter Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 When I used to grow sweet corn in my garden the coons ate most of it before I had a chance. I read in a gardening magazine once to get fox urine sold at hunting stores. Figured what the heck and gave it a try. A few drops on some of the out side row plants. Worked like a charm. Reapplied after a rain. Never had anymore coon problems after that. Used it for years then I started having squirrels getting my corn. It didn't seem to faze them If you can still get it try the fox urine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Actually it is a good point labeling stuff. I had a guy on my crew that actually kept gas in Coke bottles in his garage. You can guess what happened when his kids saw the Pop bottles. Idioto. The kids came out OK as they both played ball for Mac and one went on to play in the CFL. Thank God it didn't turn out tragically. I reuse spray bottles all the time and mark them with a Sharpie. I better mark the urine spray clearly or our BBQ might have an acrid taste to it. Note: don't put gas with 2 stroke oil in the lawnmower or in a pop bottle.

Rodbender Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) I can't say coon here let alone say I'm peeing so a coon doesn't come and eat my garbage (ajax) they throw me away for being Prejudice Might have to add the RA before coon Edited September 20, 2015 by Rodbender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Fox urine, that is my theory with my urine. It can't be very attractive to critters. I can see me on Dragon's Den. There will be plenty of people willing to make money at home without leaving the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Actually it is a good point labeling stuff. I had a guy on my crew that actually kept gas in Coke bottles in his garage. A long time friend of mine who's been dead now for many years was in his garage one night with 3 buds. They were all drunk and looking for more booze. They found a gallon bottle on a shelf marked alcohol and they drank it. My friend woke up hours later totally blind and his 3 friends were dead. Turned out it was wood alcohol (methanol) My friend never regained his sight but he was the lucky one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a solution for the red squirrels but it doesn't just repell them. We had a good relationship until they decided my attic was going to be their new home.

Moosebunk Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Late June found this guy hanging around the side of the house... Today... They're crafty rodents. Bren snared the first, the momma. Today we got this one. Still thinking there's one more around. Critter ridder, moth balls, vinegar... nothing like that gets them gone. Even this trap it managed to get in and out of many times without setting off the door. Last fall it was skunks digging up the grubs over the septic tank and bed. Destructive but not as worrisome as a family of groundhogs burrowing around at the side of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 We have a family of Groundy's living in the rock wall at our place, to come and think about we are living at his place. I don't know what they eat but I just throw veggies towards the rocks and it's gone in the AM. If they are well fed they might stay out of my garbage.

manitoubass2 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Its a christmas miracle I dont have skunks, groundhogs or raccoons here. I store my garbage in the shed and it has holes in the walls lol. No garbage service here so I only do one dump run a week about 15km away I thought for sure skunks would be a huge issue when we moved in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
