How can you keep raccoons from digging up dirt and flowers in your flower bed?
Question:For some unknown reason raccoons keep coming in to my flower beds at night, and digging holes/digging up my flowers, but they don't eat the flowers. I have no idea why they are doing this. Anyone know how to stop them?? Thanks much!
Answers:
Many flowers have a sweet smell. Raccoons like to eat anything that is sweet. They will eat jam, honey, sugar cubes, syrup. They find that the sweet smelling flowers aren't so tasty after all.
You can stop them by placing mothballs around in your flower beds.
Mothballs will work, they also work to reduce snakes in your garden area (if you live in an area with snakes).
