Moved to the GTA last year from Vancouver; and we have a BIG raccoon issue here. It’s pissing me off. Raccoons keep taking a dump on my porch. Tried everything to deter them away but been unsuccessful

One dump begets more dumps. You need to clean your porch well.

Cayenne pepper or coyote/wolf urine (available at hunting stores) can help, but are are hit or miss in my experience. Wildlife services do nothing as they will only relocate them 1km away (they will come right back).

Lighting the area at night, using a small radio to produce noise are more effective. Motion controlled sprinklers can also work. Most effective is poison, but it’s not legal.

You’re a consultant, let’s break this down into an issue true. Problem statement is raccoons taking a dump.

like

1) Racoons have to dump
2) Racoons must not dump on the porch
Therefore they should dump elsewhere

Suggested solutions
1) Train the racoons to dump elsewhere
2) Put diapers on the racoons

Training racoons is a longer term solution, putting diapers on all racoons is the ideal immediate solution.

"Just catch them and put diapers on them, then they will not be able to dump on your porch"

How dare you mock racoons

Get a BB gun and make it a sport

Move to a higher floor. I live on the 33rd and we had only one raccoon in three years.

Anyone looking at traveling to Costa Rica? They have a list of states from which they will admit tourists while also requiring a negative covid test, health history, etc. As someone not on the approved list, I am bitter and curious why the population is grouped at a state level when there are massively different rates of infection within each state (not to mention personal responsibility) and you are already required to present a negative test. Any idea how often those lists get updated?

I've been a dental assistant for 11 years , and I think I'm done . I feel the pay is never enough and 9/10 we do the most work in the office . It's never commensurate to what we do and no matter how much experience you have your still 3-5$ more than someone fresh out of school . It's a skill I'm glad to know that I can always find work but the burnout for nothing isn't worth it. Can anyone relate
