Question
What are your suggestions for keeping a fat happy raccoon out of the garden -- my garden is small and totally fenced, but that is not a deterrent.

Answer
If this critter is a regular visitor, it is possible that he/she lives on the property. Look about for openings under stairs, access under the house or into the garage. Make sure all these openings are screened. Do not leave garbage cans and pet food outside. Harvest ripe fruit from trees. If it is a lawn area or bed that is being dug up, use one of the granular repellents such as Critter Ridder or Repels All in the areas being disturbed. If there is standing water such as a birdbath that can be used for drinking or "hand washing", empty it.
