Dear Lori,

In my extensive gardening experience, I'd have to say that it is highly unlikely that a green bean is eating your raccoons. It is probably more likely a coyote, a fox or even wolf. Try keeping your raccoons in the refrigerator. If it is the green beans that have been eating them, the cold will probably slow them down.

melons, so I'm in for a battle this year...but green beans?

Subject: [NAFEX] trapping rabbits?

If peanut butter is great lure for squirrels, what works for rabbits?
We tried lettuces, carrots, etc. in a havahart trap, and got a very ticked
off possum--but the rabbits were elusive.

Whoo, I'm happy you are not going into therapy over a squirrel. Get
a live trap and hide it in bushes or anywhere where a neighbor can't
see it. Use peanut butter for bait. You will catch them all.

Heh. Like a lot of folks, the economy has forced me to move back in
with my
folks. I'm not young anymore and I have no moral problems killing
pest
squirrels. However, it's a permission issue. I don't think I could
get
permission to lay out traps. So I'm focused on things I can put on
the
developing fruit to keep them safe from pests. I've put ziploc bags
on for
the moment but I'd rather find something tougher I can put on them.
