How do you keep Racoons out of your pool?

Question

We have a chain link fence around the perimeter of the property and a 4 foot iron fence around the pool area.

Answer 1

i'm not an animal expert, but maybe you can get a dog =)

Answer 2

shoot them!!!

Answer 3

THROW Billiard balls at them

Is there not a section for swimming and outdoor rec.

Do you really go to a pool room to buy supplies for it?

Answer 4

Like several people said racoons do hate dogs and will stear clear of them. If you do not want to purchase a dog you can go do a dog groomer and get some hair they have cut off a dog and just drop some around your property and they will keep out. I did this to my garden because the coons were eatting it and they have kept out ever since.

Answer 5

I dont have an answer for you but you are in the pool room for billards.  You need to go try asking your question in watersports.  Good luck

Answer 6

get a dog. racoons HATE dogs and will not go near them. even a litle lap dog can tree a racoon with just a yap.

Answer 7

Make sure there's no holes in the fence big enough for the raccoon to get into. Make sure no tree branches connect over your fence. Get rid of stuff that could be attracting the raccoons (besides the water of course...) like food and trash.

Answer 8

hit them with your pool stick and aim for one of the side pockets
