The shortcut that landed me a gig as a raccoon removal specialist was just leaving a radio on talk shows all night.

I kept trying traps and sprays for two weeks, but after I put an old AM radio tuned to a loud political station in my attic, the family of raccoons just left on their own and never came back, has anyone else had weird psychological tricks work on animals?

Used a wind chime near my garden to keep the deer from eating my roses.

Huh, I heard clattering sounds actually scare them more than wind chimes do.

Wait, are you trying to keep deer away or give them a soothing spa day @juliarodriguez? Wind chimes sound peaceful until Bambi and his friends start treating them like a call to dinner instead of a warning. Maybe hang a few bagpipes out there next time, that'll clear the yard.
