Man when my first kid was little those fuckers would get into our trash all the time. You know how much fun it is cleaning ripped-up dirty diapers off your front yard?

Anyway I whipped up some pepper spray and poured it all over the can. They never came back. Worked a lot better than shooting them with bb guns.

Yuk, i would find the diapers disgusting even before they're in the trash :-) They couldn't reach our trash, so that would not be a problem. Also between our current situation of population (they live here? at all? WOW!) and yours are many decades. So i might enjoy the way towards your situation :)

They're fun as long as they're not out to get you. I love the little anarchists but please stay out of my shit thanks ;D

Generally, you won't encounter them much unless you're near available food at night. If they do start showing up, film em, they're entertaining.

I guess it would take a looong time before they'd ever show up here at my doorstep. I live in a city, not rural. But i fucking would film them, i have surveillance cameras all around anyway :)

And yeah i probably wouldn't love them fucking my trash up, but i also couldn't be mad at them. It's our fault they're here, i can't judge or hate them for that.
