Need advice asap !

Anyone having problems this year with moles and racoons?

Mole is digging up vegetable garden & newly planted grass,
and racoon destroying our few(#12)corn plants and cherry tomoto plants.

We have a very small backyard garden,fencing not an option.

Any suggestions,hints,home remedies,ideas to get rid of these pests?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

    There is a product called Liquid Fence that may work for you with the raccoons. But be aware that it does smell foul. That's why I can't use it, I run a B&B. But folks that I've talked to swear by it.

    Someone pointed out in a similar thread that your problem probably isn't moles, but voles because "(M)oles eat (M)eat, (V)oles eat (V)egetables". Don't know if the Liquid Fence works for those or not. There are different formulations of the product depending upon the critters you're trying to repel.
