I'm not kidding. A raccoon got in through the delivery door but couldn't escape. I've got a helluva cleaning job to do tomorrow. Anyone have any thoughts on how I can prevent a future assault?

I'm really hoping that the machine was outside! O_O

I've had to deal with raccoons while camping, and there are 2 easy things you can do to repel them.

1) Use a general dog or cat repellent. It works just as well for coons.

or

2) Use cayenne pepper. They hate the smell of it.

Those are the best suggestions I've used. The only pain is that you have to replace them after a couple of days or if it rains.

**Remember, Raccoons like trash. If you've a garbage can nearby, try moving it farther away.

Good Luck
