There are three obvious ways to address the raccoons: 1. You can shoot them 2. You can trap them, either with traps that kill them or live traps that would allow you to relocat them
3. You can fence the garden (regular, barbedwire or electric).
Obviously which path you choose depends on where you live, where your garden is in relation to electricity and other homes, your abilities and preferences, etc. One note I would add is that, if you ever choose to trap them for relocation or try to put in an electric fence, be careful and do your homework (e.g., check with Department of Natural Resources).
All parts of the tomato plant are toxic except for the fruit. Anything you put on the fruit to deter raccoons from eating it will also make it inedible for humans. You might try removing the ripening fruit and letting it mature inside, out of the reach of raccoons. Yes, it does lose some of its flavor but, at least, you are getting some benefit from it. Some people trap the animals and take them a good distance from their home to release. However, considering how plentiful raccoons are in many areas, it would be a losing battle.
by giving them some nuts to throw on their heads hahahahahaha got u...........................
get a 22 rifle, and use bird shot.
get a scare crow
Yes, they will take tomatoes.
Yes, but they like grapes even more
You might consider netting your tomato plants to prevent the birds from eating them.
no
Surround it with squirrel eating monsters or a moat so they drown. Hope this helps! =D
first answer: something to do with the other nut-eating animals second answer: Also other animals are eating the tasty squirrels; squirrels running in front of cars or eating live electric lines; less trees for squirrels to live in; tornadoes that kill the squirrels, etc.
no they don't
the holes could be made by insects eating the tomatos
No that is so fake. === === === ===

Squirrels are a good candidate.
