Hmm. My wife's veggie garden has occasionally been bothered by
groundhogs. Trapping them or plugging or gassing their holes is only
a temporary fix, since one groundhog usually means many and a hole
can be re-routed easily. However we did find a fix that seems to
work and may work for you. At your local Agway or other agricultural
supplies store (or by mailorder) you can buy a small container of fox
(or other predatory animal) urine. Dispense this stuff on cotton
balls arrayed on the perimeter of your space or in your garage. I
don't know how well it will work on raccoons but it does seem to keep
the groundhogs out of the lettuce!
