I have done the beer in the garden for slugs thing so that was the first thing I thought of. Or maybe that was the second thing I thought of.

There is a middle school level science project about water tension that uses water, black pepper, soap and detergent. I thought of that science experiment when I read the water / oil / light flea remedy too, but I could really remember 100% what it proved....water tension is not something I think about daily... I had to look it up to see what it was that it proved... not just that black pepper is a afraid of the bar of soap.

Removing the dead racoon from the chimney is always a step in the right direction though. Thanks for the comment Tina, sorry to weird Green Buckeye or you out.

Maureen -

Green Buckeye is honored, if just a little weirded out . . . ! The pie tin filled with water and oil for fleas reminds me of the container of beer in the garden for slugs.

I’ll have to remember the old remove-the-dead-raccoon-from-the-chimney trick, too. Yikes!
