As a member of our local ‘Friends of Feral Cats’ group I put out food every night for the stray cats.  I have had to bring the food dish inside every night though because the raccoon and skunk would eat it.  I have tried everything on the market to stop them…sprays and other repellents.  Nothing has worked until I found the Nite Guard Solar lights.  I can leave the food outside now without worrying about those pests coming around to eat it.
