Scaring racoons off the boat dock

Couple racoons were on my boat dock tonight. Turned on the lights remotely to scare them off, but they weren't bothered at all. So then I turned on an electric water pump and that did the trick. One ran for it and the other took a swim.

We see the same thing with perps LOL.

We have seen that turning on lights are not a deterrent. There are enough videos here showing that perps do not flinch when a floodlight turns on.

Watch this video someone posted and how the floodlight comes on and they don't even flinch. But then the audio comes on and they don't know which way to run LOL.

Yeah my very bright motion floods don’t phase them at all.

I have found, if they tear up your plants/flowers 3 nights in a row, a few BBs in the ass helps them understand
