Being a EE, I feel there is a electrical answer to every problem.

You could make a grid of wires so that the rats, raccoons, etc. have to step
on it. The 115V (or 230 if you REALLY want some fireworks) will discourage
coming back; if not outright fry the offending critter. Think a bug zapper
on a bigger scale.

Disclaimer: Don't do this, a person could be killed!

Unfortunately the garage is about 10 feet from the house, so there may be
some collateral damage...... but it is worth considering.....

I'll keep that one in mind as a method of last resort. (;->)

I think I have taken 3-4 dozen racoons out of my garage in the last 6 years.
They apparently really like it.

Thanks,

Dave
