Ok, here's the deal. The wife and I just dropped a little over 8K to spruce up our front yard. Lot's of plants- landscaping along with a water feature and an outdoor fireplace.
We've enjoyed it over the last few weeks and now find ourselves waking up each morning with the tanbark and dirt piled on the pressed concrete and about four various small holes.
I don't know what type of animal has taken up to annoying us but I speculate either raccoon(s) or perhaps a skunk. We've left the outdoor lighting on but they don't seem to be fazed by that.
Is there anything we can leave out, like- I don't know, maybe a small tumbler of bleach, that'll keep them out of your yard? It is walled in with a gate that locks, so I'm not worried about a pet finding it and drinking it (like any animal would be dumb enough to drink bleach, but who knows).
I've googled looking for solutions but it's all over the board and was hoping the good folks of MOCK could assist either with some terrific ideas or at least a mock or two to distract from the hassle of having to clean up after these varmints.
Thanks.
