I hate it when I'm right but something got into my Koi pond last night or early this morning. The net was all messed up and laying in the water. I don't know if they got any of the fish or not(too many to count) but they tried.
Oh, I did catch something in my trap this morning also...My cat! He wasn't too happy but he's probably learned now NOT to go in it

I believe the distemper they get is K9, and of course rabies and internal parasites. Its epidemic in some areas, If its in your area. Im sure you would of heard of it.
Make it as negative as possible for them and they should move on.

I can and have put all food inside but the fish pond is still there and they love fish. Even if I got rid of that, in this town 1 out of every 5 houses have ponds with fish so it's almost impossible to keep them away. I just do the best I can.

Maybe the smell would have kept away the coon.
I know Chucky this is a serious matter for you, just wish there were simple solutions that worked for everybody and everything.
With my situation, there is not much I can do except for keeping the food put away which I always do anyway. The turts and torts are secure but the fish are up for grabs. I'm just more concerned about the cat and dog meeting up with it someday.

As long as they don't bother them or they aren't cornered. Then they can do some serious damage.
Just a thought for you about scaring away most of the mid level predators, down here we have used fox urine or coyote urine liberally sprayed around the perimeter of the property to keep the coons, opossums, and feral cats at quite a distance and it also keeps rabbits and deer out of the garden areas. You can get bottles of the urine from Cabela's, Bass Pro Shop, Wal Mart, Kmart, or any bow hunting shop, hope this helps.
That might help bacaraj but I wonder if my dog would go around and remark it?
BTW, the coon was back last night, stood up right in front of the glass door and looked at me. It looked as if he was trying to say...'Hey! where's that cat food at? I'm starving here!'. He then left and didn't see him the rest of the night.

He may very well have been doing just that. He may have already learned from well meaning softies, that begging equals food.

Okay I am gonna come clean here. When I was having the problem with the coons, I recalled hearing about the urine thing. I had wondered if human urine would work the same way and since I was spending so much time down there on guard duty, I decided to give it a shot.
Figured it didn't cost anything and I lost all my pride long ago
, so I started "marking my territory". Not sure if it worked, but I never saw them go by those points again. Of course maybe they couldn't without rolling on the ground laughing themselves silly at the dumb human, so they avoided the spots.
