A lot of people get angry when squirrels or chipmunks eat up all their expensive seeds that were actually meant for the birds. Well, I have a worse case: raccoons. They already destroyed two of my feeders, and they continue to eat up all the bird food in one night. I've got the squirrel proofing in my yard, but that doesn't stop these pests from returning every single night...

The only solution is that I should start taking the feeders in the house with me during the night. There's no way of winning with these pests!
