Seriously Haz, if it is a pool issue, I have the solution. The little varmints were all over my grandads pool steps, despite having a perfectly good canal not 50 feet away, sans chlorine (though in fairness to the coons, the pool was sans gators)

. Lot's o'shit. What I did on the advice of a neighbors pool guy (I was my grandad's), was hi myself to wally world. There I purchased a giant purpe inflatable shark, of the sort little kids can ride on. It cost about $20 and was inflated with a shop vac on blow (with a little tweaking to form a seal around the nozzle which involved me cupping my hand and lots of spit, skoal dont'cha know

. Anyhow the thig worked like a charm. It just floated around, and by moving kept the varmints away.

PS Important safety tip. Tie that sucker to some lawn furniture or a line squall will send it down the block.
