Be careful when you open your trash barrels

There may be nesting pregnant raccoons lurking inside!

Even the gates of gated communities can't keep the critters out!

How to prevent such a disaster? Pouring a bit of ammonia into the bottom of your barrel will keep the animals away!  Moth balls will work too, but unfortunately, they'll get thrown out with the trash.
