She's sure.  She's seen them.
 Rebecca's Garden newletter suggested cutting the top & bottom out of coffee

She lives in a wooded area & the raccoons were there first but she is fairly
new to gardening & is becoming discouraged.  Besides the time involved the
expense also.  There must be a happy medium, just haven't figured it out yet
:-)
