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

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

I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?

Does anyone have visceral fat around their tummy? I’m 28F and people will look at me and thing I’m thin. However, if you were to see me in tight clothes, a crop top, or bikini you would see that all my fat is concentrated in a circle around my tummy/hips. Other than that area, I would look pretty fit. Obv diet and exercise is key and I have begun focusing on the foods I eat more. Is there any other specific advice anyone can give for getting rid of visceral fat?
