Whats eating my plants

[Prairie1]

Some critter is slicing net during night and pulling out plants and feasting! I have raccoons, chipmunks, vole & possum god knows what else! Any ideas? TY

Rabbit, or deer, slice is chew , they can tug out a plant to a easier place to eat it

With it happening at night my guess is raccoon. They love to trash ponds.

I had to put a short wire fence around the pond and attach the net to it. Had to put extra wire in between the wire fence spaces to make it even more secure to keep raccoons out. They haven't been in there since. I also took some thin boards w/tacks sticking up and placed those in certain area's where I knew they went in before as if they walk on those, ouch! Won't really injure just not comfy!

You can see the short fence all around the pond below.

My net is wide weave and high above the pond for easy entrance. Just un-clip from fence and lift up.

Thank you. Beautiful pond!

A Raccoon has started visiting my pond and leaves in his wake…

Chewed leaves
Strewn driftwood
Shuffled rocks

And has made a tunnel through my bog

I’m not happy with him… but I’m glad there’s been no obvious indication of any animal victims so far… knocking on wood!

Any suggestions of effective methods to deter raccoons? We’re in suburbia
