I am not surprised that you had little action from Critter Ridder, many gardeners report the same. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do? Thank you and have a wonderful day!” The animal control people will not do anything about raccoons. I have sprayed around my yard a product called "Cridder Ridder" but he keeps returning so it must not be working. My flowers were doing so beautiful and its such a shame that this has happened We have never fed this raccoon or have left food out. He destroyed the flowers in the ceramic pots as well. I thought I would outsmart him and put all my planters in ceramic planters so he could not knock them over. I have gotten up in the morning only to find my beautiful flowers all broken, roots all torn up and dirt spread all over the place. He or she keeps coming into my yard and knocking over all my plants that are in my planters.
