Raccoon Protection
When sod is
laid, the fresh soil underneath
coupled with high levels of moisture (new sod needs to be watered 2-3
times a day during the first weeks) attracts worms and grubs (delicacy for Raccoons) to the top of the surface – right under the sod.
Raccoons are very clever, and are very quick to discover when there is food to be had. Blessed with remarkable dexterity, they can actually
roll-up large chunks of sod in order to eat the worms and the grubs. What makes things even worse is that once they discover a source of
food – they keep coming back, and bring their friends along for the feast.
Over
the years, we have experimented with various methods on keeping Raccoons OFF our freshly installed lawns, and finally, we came to a simple
and inexpensive solution: a protective net.
Raccoon Net should be installed on the day the Sod is laid, or whenever a Raccoon problem seems to appear.
