    Default Once again my back yard is a superhighway of skunk, raccoon, fox, cat, and rabbit. Pain in the A**

    Yep I was not happy to see a rat in there, the neighbor two houses down has goats and chickens, so mouse have been a constant battle.

    You could try one of these for the rats and maybe skunks / small raccoons.

    Why does it seem like the critters are being baited into that space with something in the cinder block?
    Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    THe cinderblock is holding the game camera for the second half of the video, the "bait" is the fact there is an opening in the fence there that they are using on a regular basis that I blocked with the cinder block, the skunks frustration with it being in the way is entertaining to watch.

    It is clearly a known pathway with all these animals and a funnel effect to that point.

    Are they damaging anything, or does it just bother you to know how much wildlife there is passing through?

    That gap in the fence is the perfect choke point for a live trap, or a snare. I'd use a snare in a heart beat were it not for the cats.

    Something is burrowing under the shed. I am trying to establish what it is. As far as the animals passing through I would love to capture and remove the skunks the rest do not bother me at all. At this point it is entertainment other than whats living under and damaging the shed.

    This is the normal pathway the animals have had with nothing blocking it. And a second video after I blocked it.
