I have 2 motion sensor lights in front of the house and one on the side. Those lights get tripped all too often in the wee hours of the morning. It's been puzzling me for some time to wake up at 3 A.M. for a whiz trip only to find the property lit up like a carnival. I spotted the culprit, a darned rabbit on my front lawn. The cat was out, but that makes no difference. My cat is a pacifist and wouldn't scare even the rabbit away. He's a 3 legged critter that gets along with all his fellow animals, both tame and wild. He likes to sleep outside, even in winter and doesn't prowl much. Several times I've done a little prowling of my own when noticingi the sensor lights on, but had never noticed anything suspicous. So, now I know, a damned rabit no less. Best wishes. Cal - Montreal  |

I had to turn mine off Cal, between a jackrabbit, skunk and a coon they stayed on just about all the time.  |

Hello Bill, Be careful of that damned raccoon. It cost me the price of a new roof the last time one stuck around too long. I blame my wife for that one. I asked her numerous times not to leave food out at night, but what the hell do I know. I'm just her husband, and not a very bright one to boot. Our three legged cat stays outside even in winter. Joan leaves fod for him on the front porch. I guess the coon thinks, "Hey, she's adopted me." In order to save a lengthy trip he decided to merely burrow into the roof, and then to add insult to injury had a litter in my attic. He raised merry old hell with my roof to the tune of almost $4,000. for a new one before I could get rid of him. All told he dug 3 different holes in various places of the roof. Moisture got in and the paint has started to peel on my ceilings, all because of food left on the porch at night. I'm still irked at that one. Best wishes. Cal - Montreal  |
