    Devastating Raccoon Attack

    Tractor supply cheap and easy just install around your roost and run. I have two wires, one about 4” off of the ground and one at about a foot, even the squirrels stay away. Hardest thing about the install is getting electricity out to your run and driving the ground rod.
