Raccoons like to eat most vegetables including squash , tomatoes , corn and melon . Also , raccoons persuade parasite and other diseases such as rabies . If you are bothered by raccoons , your only choice is to fence them out of the garden with an electric fence .
Step 1
exonerated vegetation from area where the electric wires to repel the raccoon are going to be located . Any botany touching the telegram will make a shortstop in the electric stream running through the wires .
Step 2
property posts every 6 feet around the garden where the galvanising fencing will be locate . Because the height of the fence is going to be only 12 inches high , you may not require a gate section because you could easy stop over it . Keep pets and small child away from the fence .
Step 3
Attach insulators that will hold the electrical conducting wire to the posts . The insulators hold the telegram away from the posts so it can not be short out by the fencing posts . On each Emily Post , place one dielectric 2 inches from the ground , one 6 inches from the ground and one 12 column inch from the ground .
Step 4
fly the coop the electrical telegram through all the insulator as needed with each end of the wire attached to the generator . start the wire so there is a continuous current throughout the wire , so there are no open frame in the wire . For example , after the conducting wire for the 2 - in level is run , just launch the wire up to the next story and commence running the conducting wire into the 6 - in level of insulators .
Tip
Keep botany away from electric fence line of merchandise so the system can not short-circuit out and betray when the botany touches the conducting wire . A live trap is an alternative method for controller . Move them at least 5 miles or more off so they will not total back . Also , get permission from the landowner where you are releasing the raccoon .
Warning
Use only a scheme that includes a source and regulator design specifically for electric fence around a garden . A organisation designed for a garden admit a regulator that forbid a continuous current that can be dangerous . Do not touch base directly to household electrical current .
