Rocoons are constantly climbing my multipole fences and doing damage to my property and enclosed garbage bin.Bought a Have-a-Heart trap and have been catching a few and dropping them off (relocating) at a nature preserve which is only a few miles from me.
One nasty one decided while in the trap to reach out and grab everything he could reach and pull it in. He grabbed a leaf bag which he somehow got wrapped around my extension cord for Christmas lights.He pulled the cord in the trap as well and decided to chew on it.Big mistake on his part. He zapped himself and almost zapped me.Not knowing exactly what he had done ,I shook the trap to see if he was sleeping and sparks flew everywhere.Thank God I had work gloves on .What a way to start your day!!! Lol
