Nasty Raccoons Attack My Backyard!

[Wbfuhn]

I'd spread salt around. Just an idea. I'd also set up an electric grid. Take some wire and lay it across the lawn like a net and apply electricity.

[gbhnjmkiol]

i hat coons we have two big fat coons living in the trees in are yard we set traps to get them out of our yard

[monstertruck611]

you"PATCHED" it up

[eduardo14059]

i agree with gaangstaliciouss you should get a exterminator 

[gaangstaliciouss]

Exterminator

[amzraptor]

Raccoon: You Mad Bro? XD

[646c]

Must have did something to piss them off

[ishudbesurfing]

C'mon, try to see it from the racoon's point of view... They gotta eat too. And while you're nestled up in your big warm house at night, they're probably shivering in a bush somewhere. Instead of trying to fix your lawn... turn it into a little feeding zone for the little buggers. Leave them biscuits n gravy and a little bit of hot chocolate. You'll become friends.

[Illiasc]

lol this is when you have the roll-out turf type grass. . . .

[AllAlaskan907]

Do you have armadillos where you live? I lived in texas for over a year and caught them red handed doing this same thing to my mother in laws front yard.

[annettelabedzki100]

@AllAlaskan907 no only skunks, coons and coyotes

[SuperAirborne82]

Cue the dramatic music.....

[UnseenBullet]

Lol, who thought that all the brown spots in the video link were all going to be raccoon??

[pakanasielu]

Maybe I should stop feeding the ones here and they'll do that for me. I want to remove the st. augustine shit grass I have and replace it with zoysia grass.

[sam987687]

put out poison lots of poison and don;t tell anyone

[Thargor3000]

haha



[wannalayya]

You got some good soil there send a truck load my way all we got is clay

[Galadrian70]

Anyway , even if the racoons don't do that. Your grass is gone! Worms will kill it, if it isn't treated.You probably know it by now,lol.

[annettelabedzki100]

@Galadrian70 yes and after almost 800 comments I have learned a lot!

[bawner001]

R U Caroline Graham LOL!!

[Rscapingpanda]

I thought the dirt was the raccoons. Silly me.

[whiteboypatrickkelly]

you should shout "this is sparta"! and fuck them racoons with your broom!

[saltydog45]

Well urban city girl...need a new fur coat?

[TheMazaxist]

Raccoon's version of Mission Impossible ;)

[scrmomof4]

That isn't a raccoon, that is most likely skunks and a lot if them!!

[GreenManalichi]

Looks like a job for GRUBEXMAN

[TongBoi2]

This problem can be solved with a .22!

[xrokcer08]

@TongBoi2 i use a.177 to solve those kind of problems

[TongBoi2]

@xrokcer08 Two very good solutions!

[killalangdon]

@annettelabedzki100 ahahaah nasty raccoons lol

[annettelabedzki100]

@killalangdon incredibly nasty!!

[MrJVasquez69]

now we know were you hide your money

[britnaehuskey]

Raccoons army NASTY ugh...

[whorehay666]

i know its not grass, but ill tear up you're muff. HAAAA!

[EradicatedHD]

LMFAO!!! They dont even ask...(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ xD

[mattatuckmanful]

im pretty sure you got a skunk there not a coon. skunks tend to unearth grass looking for grubs, coons will go for your garbage....

[Conzilla44]

shoot em'

[Earthwalker40]

Raccoons huh? The cure is a hot ball of lead.

[jt18023]

you sure that was not a pig raccoons dont usually do that there more about getting into your trash

[tommymiller66]

Buy a live trap at tractor supply. Use a peanut butter sandwich in there. Put tiny pieces of the sandwich leading into the trap and you will have a coon by the morning. You can take it outside of town and make it someone elses problem or simply set it out to pasture, whichever makes sense for you.

[Sin2Righteousness]

get some dogs

[checkfoldcallraise]

you gotta hideout at night and wait for them to show up. then run out of the bushes with your night vision on and start smacking faces.

[pokemonvet1331]

its grass...i have nothing else to say

[TheGunnut95]

12 gauge is extreme over kill get a 22lr

[62CHRIS99]

got 12ga?

[scar3001]

lol whats up with the background music?

[ryanod21]

"Ru-Coons"!

[gome88]

Looks like the Racoons had a party in your backyard

[OzDracula]

@annettelabedzki100

They don't even ask is they can hack up your yard? Humans never ask to build on their land.

If you build in their natural habitat, where are they supposed to eat?

World population is around 7 billion people. A mass extinction is under way, and up to one-fifth of all living species could disappear within 30 years.

Raccoons are lucky that they have the ability to adapt to new environments and food sources.

What humans commonly refer to as a pest is in fact a self made problem.

[tanetty1]

boo hoo!

[sannyskate]

its called a .22 mam

[SirMrTony]

"They don't even ask if they could hack up YOUR yard" Lol, humans certainly didn't ask to hack up their natural habitat.

[M16A41000]

a mini 14 and a light should fix this

[pooiuugjnhvcf]

ths is stupid scoccer mom person

[Ciobot]

Ha ha ha

.

.

.

[sabutter]

They are looking for grubs or wild onions.

put pepper the yard they hate it

[HiddenFacedMatt]

I think this obsession with having a nice grass lawn is foolish to begin with. A plastic lawn looks almost like a grass lawn, wastes less water, doesn't need to be mowed, and doesn't trigger allergic reactions in those allergic to pollen.

[newtubetubetube]

You probably got white grubs under your grass. Get rid of them and the raccoon will go else where.

[irategamerdoesnotsuk]

i thought there were many squished racoons

[thecoconutstookover]

ur voice sounds like martha stewart

[Bobbyisking87]

grow some pot back there, looks fertile

[buba2isatosa]

u have grubs treat them problem solved

[GuitarKid905]

when I saw the thumbnail I thought the dark spots were racoons

[JewelChick01]

@sendittobryce: If people would stop needlessly procreating, we wouldn't need to continually eat up the land with our presence. Humans are like a plague of roaches. Stop the breeding!

[newtubetubetube]

@JewelChick01 said "Humans are like a plague of roaches. Stop the breeding!"

Start by sterilizing yourself, or do everyone a favour and kill yourself right away.

Human are not the most numerous species and its only problem is the excessive use of resources. If you rather help fixing that problem then stop using the Internet and go live in a cave.

Fuck off.

[DomSubmissiveKitty]

@JewelChick01 newtubetubetube is right. Humans aren't the most numerous species. And by numerous I mean the most populated. Rats, Mice, Roaches, Mosquitoes and Rabbits out number the human population (world wide) 10 to 1.

[grig24x]

You sound like a narrator off haunted house videos.

[annettelabedzki100]

@grig24x Cool!!

[MultiCarpenter123]

raccoons are cute i have three pet raccoons

[CAmovieFan]

LOL @ :53

"So mad!!! ooh!!!!"

[annettelabedzki100]

@CAmovieFan very mad..here me ROAR!

[sendittobryce]

Name your price and if it's right, I'll get rid of them forever. Wether it's coons or hogs......I think it's hogs. If you're one of those people that doesn't want the animal harmed, I can use a "Have-a-Heart" trap or it can be exposed to severe levels of lead poisoning to the brain via .22. Either way, I hope you know that there is becoming a coon and wild hog epidemic.....

[MrEmohdee]

bout time for some raoon caserole

[HyuuganPrincess]

Also....this lady's voice makes me angry. Ugh.

[staphinfection]

It wasn't the coons that did this. It was me....

Love,

Stephen King

[woofenstein1]

LOL "looks like a Stephen King horror movie"

[xlCHAPAlx]

Mam,I pretty sure that is wild hogs you have there not raccoons

[iamtheomega]

almost like feral hogs but they go deeper

[SimplyHespe]

OMG !!!!!! That sucks

[Zardoz5280]

These are Mafianni Racoons that are doing this. It is their way of telling you that they demand protection payments. On your back porch or out beyond the back door under a rain proof overhead, place a bowl of dry kitty kibbles and a bowl of water. Keep it from going empty. Once they see that you are punctual, they will stop vandalizing your lawn.

[annettelabedzki100]

@Zardoz5280 LMAO!!!!

[SpamClamJam]

@Zardoz5280

And possibly give any neighborhood pets a good ol case of Rabies.

There is a reason why they say DONT FUCK WITH WILD ANIMALS.

[Zardoz5280]

@SpamClamJam ahhh I see...all racoons are overflowing with rabies now...someone else wants to shoot them all. ... we invade the animals land then since he has no place to go, he stays and gets accused of being full of rabies; subject to be shot by big he-men with big guns... my oh my what nice people we have out here!

true, if you bother the animal, they will bite. that alone is good reason to not get in bed with a wild animal.

[Skryde]

try putting red pepper or pepper around the outside of the yard, they use their smell alot. i assume it was the fertilizer smell they were attracted to like alot of dogs do when they dig up plants, just like they get into trash cans

[FUOPEC1]

Send them my way. I need my lawn removed.

[topperheartramada]

I actually think they do these things on purpose just to piss people off.

[RU4BN8OUT]

I'm from the south. I would recommend a shotgun with #4 shot to fix any coon problem.

[potsmoker84]

@RU4BN8OUT It works the same up north.

[Dillon1108]

i'm here because i thought the thumbnail was a picture of a bunch of raccoons >.<

[WildFlowersCA]

@Dillon1108

LOL me too.

[1NecroSpawn]

@Dillon1108 ahahaha same here. i was like "OMG thats a lot of raccoons!" then i see then vid and no raccoons just mess they left :(

[Zouizid]

its because - its not your backyard, its their natural habitat ----- you just " claimed " there place :P

[potsmoker84]

@Zouizid what kinda pussy are you

[sendittobryce]

@Zouizid So is she just supposed to live in the woods? Is the human population growing meaning we need more housing? Well yes, Duh!  And your solution is? Maybe similar to China's......let's see how well that goes over in the comment section......

[billwho62]

I hear tell if you sprinkle salt on their tails, that would all stop. Try it.

[Lombardiclese]

Okay... NEVER, EVER put salt anywhere you want plants to grow or recover. DUH!

[scoobyjdmd]

stop pissing your neighbors off and this would not happen to your grass!

[annettelabedzki100]

@scoobyjdmd hahahaha, my neighbor is an old old 150 year old man who is deaf and never leaves his house, of course the coons didn't bug his grass..his grass is not taken care of at all so therefore no juicy grubs!!

[PlaidmanUTube]

The raccoons know about the bodies you've buried...

[Lucasmcadams]

pepsie and fly bait!

[domenicd123]

thats what you get for using sod grass

[thegreencat13]

I think it's extraterrestrials, personally.

[annettelabedzki100]

@thegreencat13 that's a good one!!! I never thought of that, no one else did either!

[Gestapo1940]

@annettelabedzki100 this is a novice crop circle

[sidetractmind]

Looks like feral hogs to me!! Use a gun and BBQ pit.

[Edwinward]

Wow, I've never heard of this..what a mess. Good luck. I have no clue, but I like the grub theory..seems sound 2 me.

[annettelabedzki100]

@Edwinward yeah, i think it's the grubs..nothing else under the grass...I hope!

[aaronreape007]

bee bee gun or a 22 will do they wont come back or rat poison

[TheJg1555]

who cares

[TheMiaSim]

its called RACOONS not racoons lmao

[ben567567]

the music XD

[DocterDrx]

''when coons come on my porch, mama just chase them away with a broom''

-forrest gump

[annettelabedzki100]

@DocterDrx if I ever catch them in the act, that's what I'll do too!

[xXxchipperchopperxXx]

@DocterDrx you damn comment thieves i was gonna use that quote

[MrMar21457]

skunks will do the same thing

[ParticalMahn]

xD "Dirty Coons"

[morriswil32]

cayenne powder. 

[MissCedarbridge1]

coons didnt do that

[TheRoflWofl]

AA-12

[frankbateau1]

Rah-koons are cute, but dangerous. I am a little late here, but yes, you have grubs (larvae for beetles and such). There are many treatments much less dangerous then the varmints to clear both problems up, and save you a lot of expense. They are very clever, and it seems like quite a little family you have there, if they still are there, and they can break into homes. A follow up would be interesting, if I missed it let me know.

[Howhite24]

Get a pellet gun and show the little bastards who r boss

[wls967]

I agree with the others that you should treat for grubs, but as far as the racoons, a box of .22 shells are only a few dollars. Make sure to never touch their blood or feces with your bare hands. They carry some pretty nasty things that can be harmful to humans and lethal to your pets.

[candylandemo]

.... well it is there home first :P people just bild to close / or on animals habitats so its not their fault :(

[MisterPeetBull]

put some dylox down and kill the fuckin grubs lady. u think they are ripping ur grass up for the hell of it?

[Michaeldean88]

Set out some cage traps and bait them with some moldy bread and peanut butter, and see whatcha catch. Get a large dog and keep it outside or something that might help. If not gimme a call I'll take half the money for the hides as payment.

[annettelabedzki100]

@Michaeldean88 I will try that..except for the dog part, I have three cats

[MetalAnonym0us]

@annettelabedzki100 I had 6 cats and 4 dogs. Nothing bad ever happened.

[MikeJTNY]

GET OUTTA MY YARD YA DAMN COONS!!!!

[74latremouille]

it might be scunks they do the same thing. looking for grubs

[roughnyou]

Looking for grubs. So rotten!

[prankbros954]

Time to get dog.



[hoopdedoo]

Haha....chick got her lawn munched by coons.

[MyNekolove]

haha sucker!

[UnnamedThinker]

well obviously you claimed their land, so you are the one with 'the nerve'

[Vanth7]

Hot red pepper or black pepper should help take care of this...

[PersonguydudeWB]

A 12 gauge works wonders against racoons.

[CDog2910]

@MindTrek00 Nuance critters eh? That adjective (a real one) seems rather out of place.

[MindTrek00]

@CDog2910

nuisance critters must be dealt with severely, unless you rather be tormented by them!

[bcgptvz]

Sprinkle Epson Salt. Racoons are highly intelligent. Very. But, such a problem. They can climb stucco. They can see how you use a key to unlock door and if find the key, will use it correctly. They can be taught sequence of numbers to unlock something-go away 3 years-come back and correctly remember sequence and use it.O yeah!

[annettelabedzki100]

@bcgptvz wow, I had no idea that they are so smart..so they will remember my lawn for years to come!

[Dralkote]

@annettelabedzki100

They are also strong enough to drown a full sized dog so be careful. lol

Smarts+strength=unstoppable

[lawnsausages]

@annettelabedzki100 We have a problem with them here in Santa Cruz too. Do you have a sprinkler system with a timer? If yes you can hook a motion sensor to it, they don't appreciate getting wet, but don't leave anything they can tear up outside. (Like patio furniture with padding, they got mine.)

[starfishgutts]

@annettelabedzki100 File a small claims case against them! If they don't show up you can put a lien on their tails and open a Daniel Boone hat shop

[metalmike83]

Nasty coons?!? That's racist!

[MrNatureman007]

@metalmike83 shut up coon!

[xXxValiant1xXx]

You have LOTS of grubs in your lawn! Dead spots of grass are a sign and the coons confirmed it. Your lawn looks horrible so the racoons aren't really causing it to look bad.

[bennoyes05]

time....to...kill...some.....c­oons!!!!!

[jammerman1981]

You sure that wasn't hogs? 

[annettelabedzki100]

@jammerman1981 I'm pretty sure, we have no hogs here, thank goodness, it was coons or perhaps skunks,,,

[theflyingflea]

@jammerman1981 Oh no, hogs do way worse damage than this. They're everywhere where I live.

[BrandonLeo3]

click click........now the waiting game

[samschwenn]

They're there for the grubs (Or the "white worms" that you referred to). A warning sign would have been the patches of dead grass throughout your lawn. If let go for too long it will definitely get exponentially worse. Treat your lawn with Grubex or something similar and it will no longer give the critters a reason to tear up your lawn.

[annettelabedzki100]

@samschwenn okay, thank you for the tip!

[planot171]

@annettelabedzki100 Try beneficial nematodes to control your grub problem if you are into the less toxic treatments. Just a suggestion.

[kgbeezr75]

Good! You deserve it for your "nasty" attitude toward raccoons. I hope they pooped too. I'll bet money you're a republican.

[jammerman1981]

@kgbeezr75 hahahahaha!!!!! thats awesome!



[HyuuganPrincess]

@kgbeezr75 :'c The republican part wasn't needed. I'm technically a republican and I wouldn't harm these poor dears. Not all of us are heartless.

[yarow122]

Maybe you should stop burring your murder victims in your own backyard like a noob.

I'm joking of course. ^^

[odcoolshark75]

annettelabedzki100 You need 3 Jack Russell Terriers and they will slaughter the racoons. Jack Russells kill varmits with much gusto. Its and inbred trait of the breed.

[HeartShapedBubble]

a raccoon stole two steaks from my picnic table while I was distracted. I have no respect for them.

[annettelabedzki100]

@HeartShapedBubble now THAT is really nasty!!

[fearthenightraids]

get two attack dogs. chain them up there. they will scare away any coon.

[FordGTmustang2000]

How about you get a dog and i bet the racoons will leave haha or get eaten

[levkolaska]

Nematode is your solution! The racoons are diging for white grubs wich from the looks are in your gress they can smell tham. Nematodes kill off the grubs, talk to a landscaper if you see one in your area. Thers a spesific time to spay with nematodes and thats in spring or early fall.

[2000watsful]

I thought the thumbnail was a bunch of Raccoon's eating :P

[cjbots]

thats nasty, get a gun and stand watch!!! where are you? You have a different English accent than I do.

[annettelabedzki100]

@cjbots Vancouver British Columbia Canada

[cjbots]

@annettelabedzki100 thank you :) I like your accent a lot!



[noahboa13000]

@annettelabedzki100 you still can get a 22 rifle thoes are legal up there

[kcufSTRonRS]

3 easy tips to get rid of raccoon(s)

#1 (more of a question) if u got a squirt gun?

you: yes!

me:good; if you dont buy one $20 tops

#2 safeway walmart were ever by amonia ( not poisnus) but it smells awful

#3 filly squirt gun and shoot raccoon(s) havnt seen em around my house in awhile and i had 7 :P

[annettelabedzki100]

@kcufSTRonRS that is an interesting yet smelly tip! thank you..the only problem is I would never get any sleep, I would have to sit in the yard alll night with my night vision goggles on...

[PanzerBlitz43]

Anybody who kills a racoon or any other wildlife should be shot

[annettelabedzki100]

@PanzerBlitz43 I would never never ever ever kill anything or anybody...I can't even squish a spider, if I see a big spider in the house, I pick him up and bring him outside, everything deserves to live ..even the ruhcoons!!!
