How do I keep a raccoon from continually damanaging my 12X30 swimming pool. We have already tried to cover it.

The raccoon has come 2 nights in a row, and pulls the solar blanket off and last night pulled the extra cover off entirely too that we put on the entire pool as a deterent. The raccoon has put holes in the top ring of the pool. I don't know what to do next. HELP!!!How do I keep a raccoon from continually damanaging my 12X30 swimming pool.

Try putting out moth balls around the perimeter of your property and pool area.How do I keep a raccoon from continually damanaging my 12X30 swimming pool. We have already tried to cover it.
Go to a pet store and buy some spray designed for stopping dogs chewing and spray it where you don't want him to go after a while of this bad stuff he will stay away for good!Good luck!
Raccoons are repelled by peppermint. Put peppermint oil on cottonballs, and leave them around the pool. Works for rodents too.
He thinks it's a lake or something, raccoons are really into bathing in water. Build a little deck, so he can just walk right up to the waters edge, without tearing anything up. I don't think you can get rid of him, so comprimise. Best wishes
I'd with the euthanasia crowd. Shooting with a well placed .17 cal pellet would probably be my first choice.
Crushed red pepper or moth balls will help you. Another thing would be to pour ammonia around the pool, this will work for a temp fix. Call your local game commision and tell them about your problem, they might come and live trap it for you.
set a trap (a metal one) with water in a dish or something. That's what it sounds like it's trying to get to. Then you can ';relocate'; it by taking it to a park that's a few miles from your house. Or you can get animal control to take it away.
trap it or shoot it
You'll need a mongoose, duct tape and a handful of rock salt.
get a trap and capture it and then take it somewhere far enough from the house and set it free.
get a motion sensor light and sit in the yard and wait for it to come with a .243, and wait for the lights to come on, then SHOOT THE COON!
Quietly sit on the back porch with some coffee in a sleeping blanket, or lay. Keep your .22 rifle ready, when the raccoon approaches, you may wanna use bait to get it to come out for sure, pop one round right through its little head. Very simple, I used to have to kill dozens of them on the island I grew up on. Remember, they are just rodents.
Slowly breath in and out, in and out, relaxing as you do so, then as you slowly exhale, hold it for just a second as you gently s-q-e-e-z-e the trigger......
trap it or call pest control
first of all traps are bad you can relocte it but he might find his back


second traps suck cause yo now have a live and mad coon you have to deal with cause you have to let it out


so now you 2 options


1 get a dog that hates coons then deal with the problems caused by the dog


2 kill the coon with a well placed (preffeabley lead) projectile traveling at high rate of speed then just don't burry it in the pet cemetary or it will return





I guess we all over looked the last option get rid of the pool. then the coon might just stay away.





if all else fails call the cops and have the coon arested for tresspassing
Trap it with a Havaheart Trap. Take it somewhere else.
Set a few traps (cages) with food in them. My friend had a problem with raccoons in her attic. They easily caught them with those cages.


Or call a professional.
