I have a beautiful grape trellis that rests about ten feet above our patio. Over, around, and through the trellis is an expansive Concord Grape plant that spans around thirty feet and is very productive now that it is mature; that is when the raccoons don’t sample it!
Over the years I have thought some very nasty thoughts about these varmits when I would chase them away at all hours of the night, but no more! Today, I have a ‘raccoon annoyer’ ( my words) from Bird-x that I was able to buy from the helpful folks at Double D feed and supply here in San Luis Obispo.
In the past, I listened to far too many people who told me these things don’t work… these are the same sorts of people who would swerve off the road to avoid a squirrel… I should have known better! Last night I watched as the raccoons slinked by my place… it appeared as though something was ‘annoying them’… poor babies! heh heh 😉
So, it looks like we’ll have a good crop this year.
