The little glutton did not leave a single one. They have an amazing sense of smell. And, the raccoons around here do not allow me to plant corn. After three attempts and no harvest, I gave up. Once they find the first kernel, they take it all.

Hi Ted. Use bailing wire to secure chicken wire(mesh) over the container. Use a stake to keep the tree rats from being able to move the container. Place a toe popper next to the container
