Save Reggie!

Hey guys. Say hello to Reggie. He's a pretty cool looking animal, ain't he? Reggie has a potential big problem though. Read on...

I've nicknamed him Reggie, short for Regular... as in a regular in my garbage can. Anytime I put my garbage out, 'ole Reg will stop by for a visit. He's a sloppy little fella. Reggie loves to scatter my garbage across my neighborhood. It's very embarassing actually. I've tried different things to keep him out of it. I have put Bungee cords on the can's lid to keep him from opening it, poured bleach on the garbage. I've even waited until I leave for work to take the garbage out(it's still dark out). Nothing I've tried has stopped this little bastard.

So how does this involve you? Well see, I've targeted Reggie for termination. Rat poison or a pellet gun will be the executioners method of termination. I prefer the pellet gun as there will be some gratification in watching this little shit die. Muhaha! Now before you animal lover-types start busting my chops about me killing this little trash pillager, I honestly don't want to kill him. But Reggie is pwning me. Seriously. The score is like ME:1, REG:10. I'm at my wits end. I'm tired of picking up my garbage all the time.

Here's how you can save Reggie. I am willing to commute Reggie's death sentence for 1 week while Ninja forum members give me ideas on things to try to keep Reggie out of my garbage. Hopefully someone has a good idea because I really don't want to kill him. I'm not into killing animals for sport, but Reg has drawn the last straw of my patience. So if you have an idea, please offer it up so we can try to Save Reggie!

call animal control and tell them you want a humane animal trap. It should be free of charge. Excellent post

Reggie looks hungry, what he been eating?

I thought about that, but didn't think they'd do anything about a raccoon. I know I can get him into the trap. I'll just toss one of my garbage bags in there.

Apparently anything edible that we throw away. He only likes MY garbage for some reason.

if you give him the rat poison, he will have a trippy death ad rat poison can make you trip out from what i have heard

if you have a paint ball gun freeze the balls and hit him in the legs if you have some good aim. Then you can really think what you want to with him.

He wants to get rid of the critter, not get a animal rights case against him.

A neighbor of mine had a problem with a racoon once, he put mothballs in the bottom of the garbage can and on the ground around the cans. It worked for him.

Do you have mothballs down there?

Just put a gator outside by the trash can, and let nature take its course. But then I suppose you'd have a gator problem then...

I've had a problem with a raccoon before, not exactly the same as yours, it was sitting in the ditch rocking back and forth, tripping around like the thing was out for a night with Ash.

We called the humane society and they didn't want anything to do with it. We ended up having to shoot it because there are little kids around and it wasn't worth the risk.

I don't know if your humane society is nicer down there.
