@bigredfish Raccoons are my nemesis. I only have a lawn in the back. A hobby of mine is lawn care, and these bastages love to go to the lawn area and start pulling up the grass looking for insects to eat. I have a camera specifically dedicated to alerting me if they show up back there. The AI for identifying raccoons isn't reliable so I just use MD. When it sees motion overnight in that area, I get alerted and then have target practice with the pellet rifle.

The Gammo Swarm .22 pellet gun with Polymag Predator pellets will do the job

I was looking for a replacement as the rubber ring seems to wear out fast on compressed air gun. A bit expensive but looks like it would do the job on squirrels. If they try to get in my attic. I usually use a trap but some are cagey.

I've been looking at air guns as I'm not allowed to own firearms. Pretty impressive what's out there these days...

My research started as I struggled to eliminate a woodpecker problem on the siding of my house at about 40 yards out. BB gun isn't cutting it. I bought a scope and a pellet magazine for my Daisy.

We're not going to get into the specifics as this encourages people to find ways around the rules. What we will say is we use a mixture of features that use both our own experience and judgment, as well as machine tools. We only remove once we feel that there is a significant burden of evidence, and don't just remove every story that someone says might be AI.
