    Not sure about foxes and ringtail cats. But, this might sound gross to some but some people have reported success by spraying human male urine around the perimeter of their property. Coyote urine might attract coyotes I heard, so there is that! You ever wonder if those automatic pool cleaners...

    I sure hope what I saw in the shallow end wasn't Raccoon poop! No seeds, no tracks. I could not scoop it up it fell apart. But, it kinda looked like poop😟.

    When you say "evidence" did the Raccoon pooping your pool? If so, what did you do for treatment? I saw what was maybe poop but no berries, no tracks (so I convinced myself maybe mud) the next day I saw the Raccoon prints. Ugh😟

    I know that they are strong enough to get in and out without the steps aren't they? Well, at least this spike strip will work for the Skunk that came and used the steps I saw. But, luckily no poop. Have the Raccoons pooped in your pool?

    I also have this issue. We tried hiring a licensed trapper. We got every other animal but the Raccoon (Skunk, Opposum). I tried the ultrasonic sound detterents, Nite Guard flashing red lights, and animal repellent scents, so I made this spike strip with bird spikes from Amazon. We had them visit...
