Laugh(s) for the day

[WendyJ]

When we saw the raccoon trying to move in we did a bit of research, sounds like strong smells keep them away. I've heard before that mint tea keeps mice and spiders out, so when we read that either mint tea or coyote urine would work, we went with the easier (and cheaper) option. I brewed up a strong batch and used a spray bottle to spray it around the house, garden, and shed. We had rain a few days ago, so I'm thinking it is time to respray more tea.

I was able to get the squirrel to stop eating my kale and broccoli by spraying with a soap-and-cayenne tea... you should have heard him cussing me out in the tree the next morning! But he left my crops alone after that

WendyJ, I'm going to research that, thanks! I wonder if it will work on other predators as well?

@Britesea That's quite a funny image! Someone on TEG shared a story the other day about a squirrel, who climbed up to their bird feeder I think. So they covered the pole in something slippery... I must see if I can find that post. Gosh, it was funny!

I'd better not get out to the farm tomorrow and find any of my chicks doing that!
