Raccoons ( Qty of 30 + ) are digging up flower bulbs.
Raccoons can be very difficult to get rid of. Realistically, you may need to hire a wildlife control company if they are that high in number on your property and have a home established on your property or nearby. You can try to get rid of them yourself by using live traps as there are no poisons or baits to kill raccoons. The Tomahawk Deluxe Live Trap with Easy Release Door is a popular choice with the WCS TReeberry Paste as the bait inside it. An alternative trap you could use is the Duke Heavy Raccoon Trap as well. You will need to contact your local animal control for your county to see if there are any rules in place that dictate how you can dispose of the raccoons once caught or where they are to be released in your county if not being put down. Some counties require you turn them over to the animal control to handle as well.
