Look!
We caught ANOTHER raccoon!
This one was just about as big, not nearly as feisty, and hopefully the last one.
And no, they aren't cute.
And no, they aren't cute. They growl.
They try to bite.
They are bandits! Look at the mask!
They don't smell as bad as a possum, but they dig up pots looking for tasty treats, and make a mess everywhere. There are reports of a trail of Tootsie Roll poops all over the place...in chairs, on my bicycle seat of all places!...on patio tables.
Hasta la vista, baby...
Hasta la vista, baby...Don't come back.

Now...on to water conservation.
You know it hasn't rained very much...only a few inches in the last 9 months.
The City of Edinburg has issued a water alert, and we must try to comply.

We frequently are visited by racoons. Our home is not far from a year-round creek so we are often visited by wild-life. However, we have not had the problems that you refer to. We just scare the 'coons away until next time (usually months).
Our bird feeder is likely the main attraction - we get a great variety of birds, varying by season.
