Electric fences are very effective against racoons. One wire 6" off the
ground and another at 12-14.

ditto! I use more wires closer, and only electrify the lowest when really
needed (after weed-whipping). We live in racoon country and have never had
one get in our garden in 5 years. We use a solar charger.
In hand clearing our1/4 acre garden spot I made a huge boulder pile just
outside its boundary, not thinking it was ideal groundhog habitat...not even
the badgers can rout them! However, the electric wires spaced one to a
node the first foot of a 'T' post have kept them out as well. Del

"Woodchuck for 4"........"serve at once over hot toast or hot toasted
crackers"
